Zahn and DSG

[rkm rdt]

Lab techs are so used to getting sh*t on that we are a skeptical bunch, always looking for the next boot to drop.

Still don't trust the hug shack do you?

Gotta work all the kinks out with the labs until they can direct market. Always goes that route.

Woild you care to comment on a rumor I heard a while back from two different sources up there in Uncle Hank's family?

Schein/Zahn is interested in putting a 'certified' milling center(or buying) in each one of there 51 zones throughout the country to compete directly with labs.

You say that HS has no interest in being in the lab business, but they have started marketing CMC directly to dental offices.

That is happening in Canada as well. Schein has partnered with one of the largest labs in canada to put a lab/milling center in each province.

It'll never happen, Bob says so.

I think this discussion gets a bit off track thinking that dentists, in the future, will want to or try to do all this themselves. My Dr charged me $175 for a core buildup that takes around 2 minutes. Why would a dentist lower their paygrade? The missing piece of the puzzle is the 'in-house lab tech/asst' .. where are they and who is training them and what is their salary or worth? My best cosmetic/ implant and large case acct has a cerec.. theres a reason he doesnt send it out now, why would he in the future? Because Schein reps tell him that a big milling center exists? Around here, pamphlets get thrown in the bin.

We dont make wooden dentures anymore, so why should we do business the same going forward? Who is going to service and run the machines? Who is going to hold the Drs hand? With the death of one thing comes another..

Naw,it's all over man.
All they have to do is scan and send.

Good thing I have my pallet projects to pay the bills.

p.s.....anyone need a crate for their albums?

Yet some of us actively popularize IO scanning to the docs...

There's nothing stopping them from getting their own...

just what 90% of the doctors want!

Hence I focus on the other 10%...
