As more people consider porcelain veneers in their quest for the perfect smile makeover, this is creating a great demand for esthetic ceramists who are skilled in the art.

Dental Economics notes that "Porcelain veneers are an art form, and as much as we dentists would like to think that our wonderful preparations are what make beautiful veneers, we are in truth heavily reliant on our ceramists to create the real esthetics our patients want."

A self employed dental ceramist can expect to make about $48,000 annual income. This is the ceramist median earnings across the US but some ceramists make significantly more than this.
