Understanding Debt in Dentistry

Debt plays a significant role in the financial health of dentists. From student loans to practice financing, dentists face unique income patterns, career timelines, and growth opportunities that call for a more thoughtful approach to borrowing and repayment. Managing debt can easily feel overwhelming and complicated, but it doesn’t have to be.

In this webinar, Will Gochnour, CFP®, of Dentist Advisors will share practical frameworks to help dentists think about debt more strategically and distinguish between helpful and harmful debt. He will be joined by student loan professional Joseph Price-Gault from Juno and Rob Borcherding from Panacea Financial, where they’ll tackle common questions and help you gain insight into how to navigate your own debt and loan options.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

• Why debt is different for dentists and the criteria to evaluate student loans and practice loans
• What the current state of student loans looks like and the opportunities for dentists to refinance
• How dental debt has changed in recent years and expected trends for the future
• The types of questions dentists should ask when comparing different practice loan offers
