Chair, tools, x-ray machine, computers and office supplies for record keeping and scheduling, supplies like gauze, autoclave...Essentially, everything a dentist needs on a daily basis (which you will learn in the DDS program). 3) Staff to run the office-Office staff, hygienists, assistants 4) To sum it all up, you are responsible for all of your costs...supplies, tools, materials, rent, staff salaries, utilities, drugs, etc. You will need LOTS of money from your own pocket to get started (unless you take out a bank loan). If you don't have this, you can associate with another dentist who may allow you to buy into the practice when you can. If you are not a dentist and are wondering how much supplies cost, the basic kit that I will have when I graduate is worth about $40 000. And this doesn't include materials or some of the equipment that the school provides, just my hand tools and drills! 1) Go to dental school and get a DDS or DMD degree, then pass the national board exams and apply for a license

I have two questions for you...What are you calling a "Dental Clinic"" Are you asking about a Dental Office that is owned by a licensed Dentist or a Dental Laboratory owned by a Dental Technician or a Private Denturist Practice?? Each have two things in common, "Education & Ability"....Of course each requires that you get regognized by your particular profssional organization and attendant certification or licensing board. Once you have achieved those goals we can talk about Location, location, location and then how "Fancy" and "Technically advanced" equipment....There are a great many differences in both......So what say you now so I can give you a responsible response??
