Meet Dr.Fischer 

The Dentist and owner of fortune 500 dental company Ultradent worth billions

#3 Dr. Dan Fischer

(CEO and President of Ultradent)

Dr. Dan is one of the richest & influential dentists at the world level. He has created a dental empire. He started his company from his home and from there it has grown into a multibillion-dollar dental products company.

He is the President & CEO of Ultradent Dental & Health Products. He started his career as any other dentist. He was always in search of new innovative things to improve dental treatment and benefit consumers.

He was the first to develop a tooth whitening agent in his barn and marketed it well and amassed a fortune in the initial years.

As a young dentist, Dr. Fischer realized that rapid, profound hemostasis was imperative for quality operative dentistry. Because there were no products on the market that predictably controlled the bleeding and sulcular fluid, he developed one. Considered one of Ultradent’s flagship products, Astringedent® and later Viscostat®, resulted from Dr. Fischer’s insight, determination, and willingness to work after hours— using his own blood to test his efforts — to produce exactly what he felt the market needed.

Definitely one of the most influential dentists in the world with a fortune 500 company in his profile … Wow !!!

meet Emmet “O’ Neil – Not a dentist but yet a dental entrepreneur with high-quality dental spas and sets ups all over England, Scotland & Ireland

#6.Emmet O’Neill

The Smiles clinics are open seven days a week, 8 am to 8 pm on weekdays, allowing people to come after work. Pricing is very transparent and Smiles Dental recently launched a cloud computing platform that allows patients to log in and view their x-rays and charts, free of charge.

Emmet O’Neill is technically not a dentist. But still, he is related to the world of dentistry as he is the owner of one of the biggest dental chains in the world.

Net Worth: 90 million $

Located and based in Ireland, O Neill got his start in the dental world in 2005 when he walked into his orthodontist’s office and requested to have his teeth whitened. The orthodontist told him that he wasn’t able to provide such a service, and O Neill saw a niche market that he could enter. Tooth whitening services were rare in the UK at the time, so with an entrepreneurial spirit, O Neill hightailed it to the U.S. and proceeded to learn everything he could about the procedure.

He then opened his first clinic, Smiles Dental, in Ireland, which has blossomed into a chain of 17 clinics. Recently, O Neill also acquired James Hull Associates, along with its 50 practices. The solid reputation that JHA has dentally will certainly be a boon to his expanding brand.

Just have a look at the pictures of this chain of clinics. Five-star establishments with patient-friendly pricing

Just Wow! Now that’s talent and style.

We all young dentists should always be smart as Mr. Emmet and grab opportunities.

In 2014, Emmet O’ Neil sold Smile Dental to Oasis Dental Group UK for a Whooping 30 Million Pounds (36 Million Euros).

Mr. O’Neill and Smiles’ existing management team will remain with the company following the sale. The deal gives Oasis, the UK’s largest private dentist group and a major provider for the NHS, access to the Irish market.

The Complete Top 10 List of Richest Dentists in the World. 

& How Can you be a Rich & Successful Dentist Like them 

The List of TOP 10 Richest Dentists in the World

Please Note: The details in the list are relative in nature and can change over time. The data have been collected from online resources. Also, in no way this list is indicative or ant ranking. The list is for general information. All of the dentists we discussed are leaders in their own rights and have contributed immensely to dentistry for decades on a world scale – treating thousands and generating employment for so many people the world over.

How Can you become a Rich & Successful Dentist Like the Ones we Saw in this Post?

So you need to know that dentistry also can produce millionaires and billionaires. In fact, Forbes in their top 10 highest paying jobs list placed dentistry in the top place for the years 2011, 12, 14.

So what Dentists from Asian Countries?

For example, what is the situation in 2 countries with a combined population of 3 billion?

India & China

In India also there are many dentists who are extremely rich in their own rights.  Yes, lately dentistry has been getting a negative name as it has become more struggling for new dental graduates. But still, as per the research by DentalOrg.com in all the major cities, most dentists are doing moderately well to very well and leading a comfortable lifestyle. But again this is subjective and varies from one place to another.

   Image: www.svdentalclinic.com

The idea is – dentistry is still a good career option taking account of the booming population. But in the current times, a fresh graduate has to be more meticulous and planned

Unlike the previous generation Asian dentists who after dental graduation just joined a college or started a dental clinic and waited for it to click. (and it eventually did click as dentists were few in number), the present-day young dentists have no such luxury.

The young dentists must be ready to slog it out with an entrepreneurial mindset, just like the Top 10 richest dentists on the list did.

Soon we will come out with a second list of Super Rich Dentists in the World

What can you learn from all super-rich dentists?

Any fresh graduate has to compete with the older generation dentists. But we should always remember that nothing is impossible if we keep working with a proper plan towards improvement without being paranoid about the so-called success.

Once you get to that point where you feel that you are earning enough,

all that matters is if you are satisfied with life or not.
