Been in ortho so long, I don't have a clue what is a fair price for PFM etc.
Mainly the abbreviated descriptions of things made. As in PFM and such,Porcelin fused to metal.
It would be nice for a list of these things so us underlings can follow the talk easier.
Also, when I price an appliance, I base that price on 70.00 per hour gross. Net is obviously less for overhead. Make it easy for me to know closely what the day will bring in at a glance.

So, I get 30.00 for a hawley with adams clasps. Less for "C" clasps or ball.

Also I wonder, the amount of gold used to make lets say, a coping, is quite small in a way. Does the price of gold fluctuate enough to really be a problem??
