  • Lifestyle - For dentist today, it may seem like there are only two career paths:
    •   Grind it out daily until it’s time for someone else to retire and finally let you step up.
    •   Partner with Corporate Dental and wave goodbye to your individuality and autonomy.
    •   Dive into a better option that is right for you.
  • Compensation - There’s more to life and dentistry than money, but serving your community, growing your skills and making a difference are only possible when partnered with financial success. Download the ebook to access compensation estimation tools and discover your earning potential.

A graduate of Brigham Young University’s Business Finance department and the University of Florida’s College of Dentistry, Dr. Craig Copeland, DMD first joined Community Dental Partners (CDP) in 2010, after co-founder Dr. Chad Evans invited him to an interview.

Dr. Copeland lives in Texas with his family: his wife and four children. He’s an avid sports fan, and supporting his children in their activities, such as basketball, gymnastics, and soccer, keeps him busy. He also likes to travel to new places with his family whenever he can.
