Experieced tech want more than my size lab can pay.Trainee seems to work , what would you start a dental assist at, she has terminology and can pour models?
Al I have most acounts that have no problem paying 200.00 for a layered Empress but the majorityof accounts want them for nothing , Fortunatly I have only one and she sends everything she does to compensate, she has only been in practice for 7 month and I see it as an investment. I have had to take it client by client ,I work with an LVI DR. and do get referrals from him.
I am also finding when I go out to solicite my lab The young forien Dr.s have no problem outsourcing to Hong Kong through Pan Am Lab in Savvanah Ga.
I cannot compee with 99.00 high noble or 110.00 Empress. I feel the dr's are the ones missing the boat they could get better prices from there patients with a more asthetic crown and something made in the USA . would you put a crown in your mouth from China. Not me. Thanks for the correspondense . Where is your Lab and how long have you been in buisness.
I believe the answer is for small labs to band together, What do you think? Also what you are talking about with automation really is a good idea but you must have the clientel to support the system and be able to pay it off quickly. Thanks Barb
