Interesting figures.... I pay $19 for a block of C14, roughly $4.00 for burs, equipment costs $4.00 per unit (total cost @ 36 months at 4.99% at 25 units a day/21 days per month) plus labor, which is roughly $5 for scan/design, $1 for mill operation, a few bucks for contour/stain/glaze. Plus...
Ivoclar had a service tech to my friends lab who has a Select Hybrid in 1 week. While my friends mill was down, WPT milled all of his e.max and zirconia at no charge. No invoice, do you hear that you other milling centers on DLN? I think this is real backup, not lip service IMO. Other milling...
Is you doctor dissatisfied with emax, so to readily switch to this new offering? Is there a marketable difference with Concept? Or is it a "me too" product? I'm just wondering why a doc having success with emax would switch?
ZublerUSA what's your plan for getting docs to request this product? My docs ask for emax, not LD. Also, any Patent infringement we need to be made aware of?
How the heck are/were you buying Zenostar for less than Sage? What are you using now?
No tie to ivoclar except I buy their stuff and feel they are the only guys really helping me grow my business. Maybe I'm native, but this means something.
Before? Before what?
I have not produced a zirconia disc from raw materials. I do run a business though and understand sourcing raw materials for the products I produce. I understand I can save money by cutting corners. This is what is happening with SM, or they are just very unlucky with the...

The point is you get what you pay for. Sagemax may work well in your hands today, but if there skimping on the basics to keep the FDA happy, what else are they skimping on? You really do have to ask this basic question: How exactly can SM sell their stuff for so little? Especially noting...
When a laboratory makes the choice to use the cheapest product available, usually believing that “it’s all the same” they are taking on risk. This FDA warning to Sagemax identifies the risk associated with that product in particular. Is it worth it? Do a laboratory’s customers know that they are...
Service the hell out of your clients and most become lifelong friends and customers. Be approachable, not arrogant or self serving. help your docs be the best they can be. Save them chair time. Help them sell their wears to their clients. This last point has served me very well. Helping your...
Did you pull the trigger yet? The Wieland mill comes with no additional licensing fee. Also, WPT/Ivoclar supports their mills with free backup. I own a Mini mill and had an issue that needed repair. They have two separate teams to help with tech issues, but a hardware problem existed. I sent my...
