Why dentists are moving to Maine, in 90 seconds

The shortage, the pay, and the life. Every number sourced.

Loan payoff assumes 8% interest, single filer, all income after rent and $4,000/month living costs applied to the loan.

The same production, a very different life

Maine dentist pay is competitive with the big Northeast metros. Housing is not. That gap is where loans get paid off and savings actually grow.

Why dentists at every stage are choosing Maine

Different reasons at 28 than at 55. Both are real.

If you're just getting started

New grads, residents, and dentists in their first few years

  • A named mentor, not a training videoA senior dentist assigned to your first year. Case review, chairside guidance, honest feedback.
  • Loans paid off years soonerLower cost of living plus state and federal repayment programs at eligible sites.
  • Relocation supportMoving allowance and help finding housing, so the move is a plan and not a hurdle.
  • Dentists your ageYou won't be the only new grad in the building. CE dinners, ski weekends, a real cohort.

If you've been practicing for years

Established associates and dentists ready to leave a DSO

  • A partnership or buy-in you can actually seeThe track is laid out before you sign. Timeline, structure, numbers.
  • Clinical autonomyYour treatment plans, your pace, your materials. No production quota from a corporate office.
  • Four-day weeks are normal hereFull patient books without the metro grind. Many of our dentists work 3 or 4 days.
  • An established patient base from day oneFull schedules waiting. No building a book from zero in a new town.
