Dentist Salary in Colombia

Dentist pay in Colombia: Bogotá leads, Medellín trails

The Colombia national median for a dentist is $ 244.730.000 a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about $ 148.770.000 in Medellín to $ 177.180.000 in Bogotá (1.2×).

Dentists diagnose and treat conditions of the teeth, gums, and mouth. Common screening skills include Diagnosis, Restorative care, Radiography, and Patient care.

A modeled national band runs about $ 167.640.100–$ 338.951.100 around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +4% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Colombian city.

Bogotá sits -28% vs the national median; Medellín sits -39%. Relocating inside Colombia for this title can move cash more than a small raise at the same desk. Open a city page for take-home and rent context — this national page is the map, not the offer.
