Just a quick rant. The impact of outsourcing labs on "real" technicians has been tough but most of us have found a way to make it by finding doctors that care about quality and point of origin.
Pfm's were one thing. Recently we have had a dr. Retire and the recent grad that has come in decided to share the price list of a "lab" he had been using prior to buying the practice. He tells us yeah we can keep the work if we will match the pricing.
Full Contour Zirconia $38.00
Now pick your jaw back up off the floor. This was very disappointing. There was no argument to be made or any that he felt like hearing as he said fit/margins etc have been great.
So where is the freaking bottom? I thought for sure no lower than $75 as that is the lowest I've seen retailed to doctors.
Ugh, these slack jaw non-techs outsourcing is so damaging to the industry. Have any of you experienced a situation like this with a dr.? How did you handle it?
Should one just move on or fight for it and rationalize US made products?
