Hello Dr. Snyder,
I read your article in new dentist this past month and I have a quick question for you.  You wrote, “lab charges are usually made against your compensation at the same percentage of your commission.”  Does that mean that if the associate is getting paid 35% of collections that the lab bill is deducted from the 35%?  Or is the lab bill deducted from the associate’s total collections and then 35% is taken from that?  Thanks for your time.  great article!

I would like to know how I can be sure the dentist needs an associate and what I can do to make patients want to schedule appointments with the “new dentist.”

I am looking into entering an associateship that could possibly lead into a buy-in. I would be interested in hearing suggestions about how to structure my compensation.
