i have been offered this kind of offer a few times over the years over the years and they get quite miffed when you say no thanks but thanks.then they ask why and you tell them that it isnt enough money they, give the that much for a tech? with the pulled face. thats when you really know you made the right choice by saying no.

its shocking to think we should be able to make a reasonable living too. i mean, its not like we are making custom, patient specific, hand made, intraoral appliances.

Gumquots- may we see a few pics of the lab showing the available equipment and workspace?

Ok. How many techs out there are competent in fixed AND removable AND implantology??? It's a real short list. A year ago or so I got a call from a GP here locally and he wanted an in-house tech that could do it all with a heavy emphasis on implantology. When I told him techs like that are few and far between and the salary range would be $110K to $160K I thought the call got dropped it was so quiet. He is younger and I got the impression he thought he employ an in house tech for $15.00 an hour!! It's interesting that he has plenty of money for radio ads all day. Rumor has it he is happy with Glidewell!!!

They always operate on a unicorn fantasy that they can do it cheaper in house.
Never happens.
Hell, half the time they only manage to kludge some ****ty set up together and send it off elsewhere to be cleaned up and processed.
Anyone who was serious about this model would already understand the value of skilled labor.

You would need to have a crazy high lab bill to afford buying your own tech for $100k+ a year. Or youre just interested in quality and doing it right.. Either way Im pretty sure it wont save you money unless your lab bill is well over $10k/mo ..

I second the thought that you wont find someone well versed in fixed and removables willing to work for less than $90k. If you can even find them.

then there's the question of who is the boss?
1) dentist
2) dentist's wife
3) office manager
4) everyone but you
5) all of the above.

Whatever happened to the days that if you weren't interested in a job position that you just plain don't respond?
