[QUOTE="smile4me, post: 56487, member: 5387"] Our new upgraded scanner along with our old mill has literally saved our business. We hardly ever used our old scanner n mill up until the new scanner came out but since we got it we have been using it on 95% of the cases that come in the door! Our metal guy left about 6 mos ago and opened up his own lab. We really couldn't afford to replace him so we worked around it. We were doing about 95% PFM when we had a metal guy we have since converted most of the Drs to all ceramic products. We are now at about 85% all ceramics with over 50% of the business monolithic! my ceramist is not so happy about that but tough **** we would be out of business if I had to continue to pay $40 for porcelain to get stacked plus additional $30 to $40 for the metal coping that's how much it cost us for a pfm to be hand made from start to finish. Now we scan the cases that require pfms send over to argen for their noble copings which come back 95% finished then goes straight to the ceramist, whatever is on a time crunch and has to get casted asap my husband would then mill out the coping with acrocad n straight from acrocad he invest and cast he doesn't even have to touch up the wax fits perfect! Our doctors would not switch over to our all ceram products if they weren't happy with the fits so my system (inlab) is working for us! Before we used to have so many bridges come back for adjusting etc now all of those bridges have been converted to TZi bridges n I haven't had one come back out of the 4 dozen we have done so far! pretty freakin amazzzing! literally our system has saved our business! I have been able to cut payroll by over 75% no kidding! all the new tricks, products, etc I have learned by just strolling the forums and also joining the inlab study group on fb.
