Description

In this episode of The Dental CEO Podcast, Dr. Scott Leune tackles one of the toughest challenges in private practice ownership: building fair and effective associate agreements. Drawing from years of experience, he breaks down the 10 most important elements to include—tiered compensation, lab fee adjustments, guarantees, notice clauses, CE commitments, referral expectations, column load management, supply and lab agreements, weekly performance reviews, and profit-sharing opportunities. Whether you’ve been burned by a past associate arrangement or you’re preparing to bring on your first one, this conversation will give you a clear framework to protect your practice while keeping agreements ethical, balanced, and attractive to top-performing dentists
