Anyhow, lots of new dental clinics opening these days.

This is likely the biggest reason. Canadian universities have not increased enrolment.
As was mentioned, large dental corps are buying up practices which likely drives new dentists to start from scratch. Definitley a lot of new practices, not sure how it will work out in the long term. For example, the Royal Oak area around the Shoppers Drug Mart and WalMart has six practices!
Corporate dentistry is the worst thing to happen to dentistry in the last 20 years IMO.
