can you own your dental practice with an EAD

I am not aware of any federal law that would prevent you from opening up your own practice under the circumstances that you describe. However, most professionals are regulated by the individual states in which they practice. I suggest that you check out any applicable regulations of whichever state you are planning to practice in to determine whether it has restrictions on your ability to open up a practice with the EAD.
