"My ultimate goal would be to open my own practice one day, as I want to control the prices of my services and provide affordable dentistry services to my community. I do have an entrepreneurial spirit, so I feel that opening my own practice would scratch that itch as well."

There is no wrong answer to this question. The interviewers will not mind if you plan to work with another dentist or if you want to start your own practice. If you create a practice, explain what appeals to you about owning a business. If you have experience owning a business before, let the interviewers know you are an entrepreneur.

"After dental school, I plan to join my mother's practice. She has been a dentist for thirteen years and asked if I would join her. She wants to retire in seven years, so the practice would then be mine. What appeals to me about business ownership is the freedom I have to market the business the way I want and charge a fair price to my patients."
