A young dentist buying an old clinic in BaltimoreHow to play a dentist in LifeSim
- Describe your dentist in the text box with a name, age, clinic style, and story.
- Name a real city like Baltimore, London, or Tokyo in your text to start on that real 3D map.
- Use place search to find a real clinic building, hospital, or café in your neighborhood and walk there.
- Talk to patients and staff in your own words, set clinic goals, and plan weekend outings with friends.
What a dentist does on a normal day
Dentists examine teeth and gums, read bitewing X-rays, and treat caries, which is the clinical word for cavities. They inject local anesthesia, drill out decay with high-speed handpieces, fill teeth with composite resin, and fit crowns. They also wear surgical loupes to see inside a tiny space, which often causes neck and back strain.
Training for this job takes years. In the United States and Canada, students complete university prerequisites and graduate from a four-year DDS or DMD program. In the United Kingdom, students earn a five-year BDS degree and complete one year of Dental Foundation Training.
Famous hubs for the profession exist around the world. Baltimore has the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, the world's first dental college. London has the Eastman Dental Hospital, Chicago hosts the American Dental Association, and Tokyo has clinics in Ochanomizu.
Life outside the dental clinic
Most dentists work predictable daytime hours on weekdays, though some take on-call shifts for weekend emergencies. This schedule leaves your evenings and weekends open for a steady life outside the clinic. After a day of calming patients with dental phobia, you can step out into your real city.
You can use place search to find a real gym, a park, or a café near your clinic. Plan an outing, invite your friends or your partner, and walk there together on the 3D map. Watch the map for happenings like a birthday party, karaoke, or a pickup game in the park.
A sample life: the inherited clinic in Baltimore
Clara, 28, takes over a fifty-year-old neighborhood clinic in Baltimore from a retiring dentist. She sets her first life goal: win the trust of the skeptical lifelong patients. On her daily to-do list, she writes a reminder to check in on a patient with severe anxiety.
During the week, a patient texts her about a broken front tooth before a family wedding. Clara talks him through his fear in her own words, and he remembers her kindness at his next visit. On Saturday, her friends add her to a group text and invite her to a café near the harbor.
How a dentist life plays out in LifeSim
LifeSim has no surgery mini-games, no skill bars, and no building interiors. You do not guide a drill with your mouse. Instead, you play the human side of the job: calming fearful patients, managing staff, and building trust.
Every person in your city has a routine, a home, and a journal of past events. Time moves day by day, and each evening ends with a recap of your moments. Because characters age through life stages, you can play from your first day after dental school until retirement.

Questions
Can I use a drill or do tooth extractions with my mouse?
No. LifeSim has no surgery or dental mini-games. If you want hands-on drilling and pulling teeth, play Dentist Simulator 2 in VR or Doctor Teeth.
Can I walk inside my dental clinic and buy equipment?
No. Buildings on the map show from the outside only, and there are no interiors or rooms. You play out your clinic days through open text conversations and daily goals.
How long does it take to become a dentist in the US and UK?
In the United States, you complete a bachelor's degree, pass the DAT, and finish four years of dental school. In the United Kingdom, you enter a five-year Bachelor of Dental Surgery program after secondary school.
Can I edit my dental assistant or my patients?
Yes. You can edit the other people in your cast, including your clinic staff, your family, and your neighbors.
Is this dentist simulator free to play?
Yes. LifeSim is free in your browser on phones and desktops at play.lifesim.com. You can play as a guest with no account.
