    What printer to buy for RPD

    How many frames do you do a month-- is your time and financial investment worth the return? How long until you actually turn a profit on a FW? Does your business model have room for this liability? It's all about the benjamins....

    Denture Resets

    .... and "self employed" denture technicians wonder why they make less than minimum wage when they do a time/cost analysis... If you spent that FREE or DISCOUNTED reset time that it takes you to pick up, disinfect, remount, reset, repack and deliver the reset(s) cultivating a new account or 2...

    Beading and Boxing methods

    You speak as if the doctor actually sees the invoice...lol. May be true for you but in these here parts many of my statements are emailed/ faxed/ mailed to a corporate office. THE BEAN COUNTERS wanna see ALL THE BEANS. No line item for local pickup travel but if case is sent out via carrier---...

    Beading and Boxing methods

    I agree with you Tom. When I go to WalMart... my receipt does not say "groceries- $125". The old school pricing of one product= one price is one of the many reasons our "race to the bottom" bounces along down there.... Ex: the lab that charges $300 for a denture- all inclusive- is taking it in...

    Beading and Boxing methods

    If you grind the first 4 threads or so off that thing in the pic your nuts will screw on faster (less but still enough threads to engage) and you can get them oriented more quickly to screw. (They will sit on the top just like in the pic but not engaging threads right away.) Also might wanna...

    Beading and Boxing methods

    I do not attempt to "make sure" my account does anything. I work for him. I feel very strongly if a Dr. uses the correct disposable tray and imp material--- the custom tray and processed bp are unnecessary as are the costs thereof IN MY SITUATION. I am respectfully putting my method out there...

    Beading and Boxing methods

    ... and I surely wouldn't want to lose a job because I am charging for a tray or models I am not making... I keep my base vehicle low... adding options as the customer deems appropriate.

    Beading and Boxing methods

    I'm not into charging for work I do not do... I'm not sneaky like that... it's all on the table with the ingredients in the menu. Helps me starting at a bad impression all the way to the point of billing when I break out departmental costs..

    That's a lotta work for ten bux.... I couldn't sell my Dr.'s a model for $25-30... They would just (badly) pour themselves. Chop chop... gotta go... stone is about right to flip impressions onto my patties bang, bang, bang bang--- 40 bux in no time....

    Special Denture Label maker?

    I really appreciate it when I get a denture made by others that has the shade (and in my case mould) in it. It makes it very easy for the Dr. to send it to me for repairs instead of the lab that originally made it. The other lab is really paying it forward in my case by putting their private...

    Tooth Pop Off Guidelines

    NOPE. I meant what I said.... If a patient likes the way they look-- they will learn how to use the dentures... FACT. That being said-- excursive movements MUST be smooth, uniform (spreading the load across 3 incisors as much as possible) and not compromised by posterior interferences. No...
