You can check for prevailing wages in immigration forums or just type that in Google. Select the profession and you will get the answer
Look at the forums in Student Doctor Network for dentist salaries. On average, the salary will be $150-200k yearly if you are working for someone. Owning a practice will give more money but requires a large investment. Oral/maxillofacial surgeons will make more money as well. Veterinarian salary will again vary depending on the speciality. Those who work with small animals will make anywhere from $75k. Vets working in speciality hospitals will make more. They can also work in pharmaceutical companies overseeing animal research programs. Veterinary programs in the US are very, very competitive even more than medical school. I don't know how easy it is to get into a residency here, for foreigners.
