An associate is a junior dentist, it means he does not own the practice. Immediately after qualifying you need to do a Vocational Training year, which is basicially a year where you are supervised by a trainer. After that you can do what you like.
You could buy your own practice but that is unlikely, most dentists start as an Associate whilst they gain experience and save money.
The amount you earn will depend on the contract you have with the Principle ( The dentist who owns the Practice). It is usually worked out as a percentage of the gross income you generate. ( the Principle will take the rest and use it to pay your nurse, your lab bills, electricity etc.)
The advantages of being an Associate is that you are guaranteed an income, the Principle runs the risk of you not earning enough to cover nureses wages, lab bills etc.

hello, where did you obtain your degree!!! for heaven,s sake you must have been told you have to get a vocational traing post first for a year, which you should have got organised before you took your finals, and because of the new contracts this is the only way you will get work in england and wales, the next time you can do this will not be umtil feb 2007 so you are pretty much stuffed
