Help Wanted Dental Lab Opportunity

[Affinity]

The OP never said 200k/mo, everyone is assuming that.

 

[JohnWilson]

The absolute best part of this thread is the fact the OP is getting all of these responses.

200k a month in lab fees LOL there is no such thing unless they are a HUGE chain and these guys normally negotiate contracts and certainly are not looking for $250 crowns.

Who knows maybe I am wrong

This is their website

200k/Mo. Is not out of the realm of reality, granted that's a large account, but I've seen much larger accounts, just not sure I'd say no way till the OP comes back on.

Whats odd is the OP is not listed on their website

That must be the Dental Office... Dr. Jacqueline Abraham is on the Drs list. Phone number matches also.

I have seen a couple times, now, that Drs looking for techs, on this site here, are received with a lot of skepticism and cynicism. I have been in this business long enough to know that not everything that shines is gold, but still... Sometimes things are just like they apear: Somebody is offering someone an opportunity. Whom ever reacts on the offer will have to figure out if it is something for him/her.

Anyway, y'all have a nice Sunday!

i can't feel too bad quoting 250 a unit, seeing as they turn around at 1180 each in some places https://www.reddit.com/r/Dentistry/comments/5hxamf/getting_more_dental_implants_32k_all_in_all_if/

too long didnt read version: patient looking to see if this is legit breakdown.

5 implants, 5 custom abutments, 2 bridges (6 u, 3u) resulting in 32k in fees over 4 visits.

3 grant for 9 units suddenly becomes 12, deducting the qutoes for the implants themselves, and their abutments.

its the oldest trick dentist try to get a free in house lab.my experience from colleges that have taken this offer up is usually they dont get any new clients they also get charged to much for rent, the dentist has them by the you know whats so the pressure increases till it all goes pear shape and usually the practice manager will give the lab slave/techo a really hard time .There is always the exception to this but of the 6-7 techs i know who have tried this only 1 found it a positive experience.the bottom line 99 times out of 100 is the dentist is only thinking of the bottom line .i would even bet that there is a lab no more than a hundred yards away that they could use.

You have some valid points! And I tend to agree. However, whomever is interested has to make up his/her own mind, if an environment like the one mentioned in the OP, suits him/her.

I have worked in a setup like this for many years. I am convinced, I am a much better technician now, having been able to work close to the patient, from day one of my career. But I agree, it is not for everybody...

Good post,I tend to agree.
However as time goes on we seem to become just as cynical as our predecessors. The ones we said we'd never become.

Not sure who this Dr. is. But if they are all the way out in Jamaica, Queens, thats why I don't know who they are. It's not far but there are millions of people and thousands of dentists between me and them. The lab I am at is doing much better than it used to be. But we still need help. This was a very busy year with no breaks in between. I wish there were more techs in NYC, we could use them.

Id love to live in NYC if it werent for all the people, and rats.. one in the same really.

Isnt queens where white people go to be murdered?

I live in Sunnyside. As diverse as NYC is. Sunnyside, Queens is the most diverse. It's where I lived when I first moved here, and I'm still here. It's a safe middle class family type of area. It's clean, and safe.

 

[Affinity]

Just looked at the crime stats.. maybe you wont get murdered, but with over 600 rapes and 5000 assaults annually in queens, I guess everyone has a different opinion of safe.. Safety is more a state of mind than a reality anyways, especially living in the most populous city in the country. 5000 assaults a year would put a black eye on almost every man, woman and child in the town I live.. Glad you enjoy it there, If I were younger and single, Id be all for it.

When traffic is really bad here it takes me 10 minutes to get from one end of town to the other....
That's in the city, not in the little town I live in.

That must be downhill?

It's about the same with where I live.
