If you guessed prosthodontist, you are correct.

According to a new ranking from the U.S. News and World Report’s annual ranking of “The 25 Best Jobs,” prosthodontists ranked #9 this year, up 7 spots from 2018.

This year it also broke the top 10 for “Best Healthcare Jobs,” coming in at number 7, compared to number 14 in 2018.
