[toothacts]

I'm an individual lab owner, do all work myself and charge 103.00 labor + Gold per dwt. for my FCG crowns.
PFM's are 136.00 labor + Gold per dwt.
I often wonder if my fees are excessive or if I am not charging enough. I know all to well the amount of time I put into my work, along with 30 years of experience, I charge for my time and offer excellent work. The high costs for Gold have increased my PFG's to over 200.00 per unit. Yet my labor fees remain moderate in relation to the cost of living, I am still paying for these high Gold prices. My All Ceramic crowns are less expensive then my PFM's.
