[QUOTE="JohnWilson, post: 252443, member: 213"] Custom shade, custom charge If they pick a straight shade this is the cheapest path, any shade changes are charged FULL BOAT. When it leaves my lab it hits the guide, PERIOD what happens in the mouth is not controlled by me. If they send to the lab for me to take the shade this is the most expensive restorative path. I eat ALL shade redo at no charge this is what commands the price. If you make it double your crown fee it still does not cover the real world **** you have to do to match single central's we do 2.75x of normal pricing If they send a photo, good or bad my policy is to ATTEMPT to get it close with no guarantee. If its a washed out picture I refuse to do the case until I get better shade photos. A camera phone is better than nothing but will not be good to map a shade in most shots. We charge 1.75x of normal pricing The other reason I charge so much is in the case of local clients since the bulk of my work comes from out of state when I do get local work it's only the tough cases as the bread and butter goes elsewhere in most circumstances. I set policy and stick to it and they either value it or they don't. Makes my life easier either way. [/QUOTE]
