Dentist Salary in Philippines

Dentist pay in Philippines: Manila leads, Manila trails

The Philippines national median for a dentist is ₱2,160,000 a year. Among 1 metros with observed data, pay runs from about ₱1,510,000 in Manila to ₱1,510,000 in Manila (1×).

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 ₱1,479,600–₱2,991,600 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 Filipino city.

When metro percentiles appear, prefer those over this national midpoint for a named city. Until then, treat ₱2,160,000 as a country-level sketch and pressure-test any offer with tax and cost-of-living tools.

Philippines shows about 1.7% CPI in 2025. A dentist raise that trails inflation is a real-pay cut even if it still beats last year’s peers. This occupation is also covered in 39 other countries — useful for remote or relocation shortlists, after FX and local tax. Nearby healthcare titles on this site include Registered Nurse, Nurse Practitioner, Physician, and Pharmacist.
