The difference between 28% and 32% may look huge on paper, but the better opportunity is not always the practice offering the highest percentage. Dr. Blake Hamblin and Gary Bird break down what associates and owners should evaluate beyond compensation – from patient flow and mentorship to collections, culture, and long-term practice growth.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Compare 25%, 28%, 30%, and 32% compensation offers without ignoring patient opportunity
• Evaluate why a practice seeing approximately 200 new patients per month may create greater earning potential
• Understand adjusted production versus collections and how each model affects associate compensation
• Build a three-way win for the practice owner, associate, and patients
• Avoid the confusion created when some providers are in-network and others are out-of-network

This is Part 2 of our series on hiring and integrating an associate into your dental practice. See the complete series here: 

Hosted by Gary Bird and Dr. Blake Hamblin, sharing real strategies from real practices, backed by data from 1,195+ dental offices.
