Hmm not sure how they pull that off. Here’s my breakdown on it:
$250 hard costs
$64 to dentist (33% of $400 minus 33% of $200 lab fee)
$40 for 2 hours total of chair time with assistant
__
Total is $354, leaving $46 to cover general office overhead and profit. Obviously other procedures are going on at one time, so at $160 of general overhead/hr, using 1 chair out of 4 it should cover 25% of overhead, which is $40/hr, so $80.
That puts the costs at $434 conservative) with a revenue of $400. Two arches done at once would save $120 in costs, leaving a profit of $52(best case). But a single arch loses $34 (best case scenario)
That’s assuming no remake, and a packed schedule the rest of the day. Any changes with that and all the margin is gone. Hopefully that sheds some light on it
