I just want to post a quick response to our pricing. I know most labs are in the fear factor mode, if I charge to much the work will not be here. Lets look at this from a business and profitability point of view. First we are in business to be profitable, if we fail at this then all we have is nothing. Second you must know what your hourly rate "minus supplies" must be to maintain profitability. This will vary between labs but this will be the baseline for your fee structure. Third and most important come up with a teared fee schedule. I have Dr's that want simple and easy restorations to make and others that I must use a lot of labor and knowledge to produce their work. Trust me there are a lot of Dr's that want quality lab work and they will pay a fair price for this, not a cheap price! So please do not under charge for your work. This will bring down the industry and it will make it more difficult for you and the of rest of us to survive.
