Dentist pay in Sweden: Stockholm leads, Stockholm trails

The Sweden national median for a dentist is 2 780 000 kr a year. Among 1 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 1 940 000 kr in Stockholm to 1 940 000 kr in Stockholm (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 1 904 300 kr–3 850 300 kr 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 Swedish city.

When metro percentiles appear, prefer those over this national midpoint for a named city. Until then, treat 2 780 000 kr as a country-level sketch and pressure-test any offer with tax and cost-of-living tools.

Sweden shows about 0.7% 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.
