[QUOTE="Travis, post: 925, member: 1"] I have seen crowns marketed from 49.00 up to 450.00 for a single restoration. I have heard of labs in California that make even more than this. It might be a rumor I don't know. As far as a fair price my thoughts would be 150.00 and metal would be an additional fee based on the weight. These high volume labs don't use the correct support for porcelain when they do the wax for the metal framework(dip and cast). If you want the porcelain to last a lifetime the metal has to be there to support it. Crowns will have more metal if there is a metal occlusion, or a metal collar, ext. Gold is right now at 850.00 an once(31 grams) If the minimum gold copping weighed 1.5, you could get 20 copings. 20 copings = 850.00 42.00 a coping Total labor for one crown? I guess 3 to 8 hours 95.00 pmf crown with gold included 95.00-42.00=53.00 not including any materials Lets say 3 hours to make it, you would make 17.66 a hour Lets say 8 hours to make it, you would make 6.62 a hour 150..00 metal not included Lets say 3 hours to make it, you would make 50.00 a hour Lets say 8 hours to make it, you would make 18.75 a hour Time I figured is for model work, waxing, metal work, porcelain, returning case. This is only my opinion, don't take anything I said too seriously. If it makes you feel any better it takes me 10 hours to do a crown. [/QUOTE]
