2 part-times offers more flexibility and leverage for the associate. Easier to leave a toxic work environment if it's a PT. Full-time, you're giving the owner "all the power" in the relationship. It can be an abusive situation. It doesn't sit well with me that this one random dentist (with same education as you) has full control over your career and fate. Especially if you're an experienced dentist. Too many jerks and shadiness in this profession sadly.
I would think early in one's career 2 part time might be the way to go so you see different systems of patient care and billing as well as have the potential opportunity to do a different mix of procedures. Later in your career, I think ppl would like to be full time at one location particularly if some mix of benefits is provided (caveat for ownership obviously).
Here in Canada, all associates are independent contractors. It is unheard of for any associate (regardless of FT or PT) to have medical health insurance offered by owner.
