Haute-Garonne: one of France's best-supplied markets, and one of its lowest averages
There are 1,250 general dentists in private practice in Haute-Garonne, which works out at 82 per 100,000 residents. That is +49 % on the French density of 55, and few départements (France's county-level administrative areas) come close. The flip side shows up in billing. A full-time active practitioner averages €246,799 in fees, −18 % against France and −11 % against the Occitanie region, which leaves the département at position 97 of 101. Each practice also sees fewer people: 738 distinct patients a year, where the national figure is 837. With so many chairs around Toulouse, demand is thinly spread.
Both parts of the total sit below national level. €143,540 comes from treatment billed at the convention rate, the tariff agreed with the national health insurer, and €103,259 from dépassements, the extra fees charged above that tariff, mostly on crowns and bridges. The French equivalents are €164,450 and €138,030. A gap on both lines points to volume rather than pricing alone.
Young, largely female, and almost entirely private
Women make up 55 % of general dentists here (France: 48 %), and 34 % of the profession is under 35. Only 16 % are 60 or older, below the national 19 %. Headcount climbed from 1,142 to 1,250 over five years, a rise that the Toulouse dental school, training graduates locally, probably helps to sustain.
What the low average does not reflect is mixed practice. Just 0.8 % of dentists combine private work with a salaried post, against 5.5 % nationally, so hospital or health-centre sessions cannot account for the shortfall. Practices still building up their patient list, and possibly part-time schedules the open data cannot capture, are the likelier factors. For anyone valuing a practice to buy, this means a list that beats the local mean can still trail the French one without being weak.
Orthodontics in Haute-Garonne: dense supply and a steep rise since 2015
The 73 specialists in dentofacial orthopaedics (ODF, the French orthodontic qualification) amount to 4.8 per 100,000 residents, against 3.0 across France. They average €695,168, −6 % on the national orthodontist mark, and see 1,151 patients each. The ten-year path is striking: €485,836 in 2015, €600,985 in 2019 and €695,168 in 2025. General practice grew more slowly over the same decade, from €193,648 to €246,799, a change of +27 %.
The rest of Occitanie looks very different. Aveyron, Tarn-et-Garonne and Lot have far fewer dentists per head and clearly higher averages, and neighbouring Tarn follows the same pattern. The département ranking puts each specialty in national context.
