Key Considerations for Associate Pay

Daily Minimum Guarantees: Many associate contracts include a guaranteed base pay to ensure stability during low production periods.
Production-Based Pay: Commission structures reward productivity, but may lead to lower pay if patient flow or treatment acceptance drops.
Hybrid Models: Some practices offer a hybrid of base pay and commission, providing both security and incentive.
Negotiating Compensation: It's important to understand if lab fees, write-offs, or adjustments affect gross production before signing.
Hourly Pay Benchmarks: Hourly rates for associate dentists vary widely by region but typically range from $65-$95/hour.
Understand Overhead: Knowing your contribution to office overhead helps justify commission rates or minimums in contract discussions.
