[QUOTE="DentureDude, post: 57295, member: 5248"] i see the gamut. some are real fast. one tooth, no clasp.. quick cure , done in a matter of minutes. but when they get big and complicated,.. it does take some time to do it right. its great when your doc tells you he can throw them in from across the room. i prep and dupe for almost every flipper. prep means everything. articulate if needed. remove the teeth if imm. post dam,.. then dupe. i use alginate. then bend the wires, set the teeth and wax it up as you would want the finished product. especially the palette/lingual thickness. my philosophy is real strength comes from flexibility so keep every thing as even as you can. then process. i use the pour method with some good acrylic. if this is done correctly they come out so pretty. super clean and there is very little finish time. its hard for me to imagine a flipper being sent out without a complete seat down on a duplicate model. and.. spot in in on the articulator. thats where all the "saving the doc chair time" comes in. if you dont do this you will eventually loose your work to someone who does. i do the very best job i can on everything. a flipper is no different. and i charge for it. they do moan and groan about the price at first but the smart ones stay with me because they love the "no frustration factor" mine cost them less in the long run. with pretty much zero chair time or return visits.
