[QUOTE="FASTFNGR, post: 346227, member: 3900"] I have been looking into this for at least 3 years. Digital denture: one you have to be able to accept STL file wether you have 3 shape you are good if not you pay $3000, unless your Dr has an open system . 15k for a good printer and you can never call it a premium denture. None of all the zoom webinars that I have asked dared to call it a premium denture better yet they call it interim, economical denture or an immediate denture. Sale price for that to a dentist MAX $150. Milled denture is another story but to mill it yourself you need a good milling machine with a very powerful spinal and high amps. 85k from Ivoclar. A denture puck is $100 another one for teeth I am not sure but let’s say $50. Compare that to a standard denture that can cost 25% of that much and no milling machine needed and yes you can charge if you are good at it $400. So if you can do standard denture without all these expenses you can make it if you have skills. Digital dentures so far can not be repaired or relined and milled dentures are too expensive. You will find people who say eventually if you do not accept digital you are a dinosaur. I agree but it is time for it yet in my opinion. We are still a good 5 years away to discover how to add fiber into the resin so you do not have to bond it to it and print teeth that are so monolithic and ugly, I would rather use a $3 card from anywhere even China. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
