[QUOTE="doug, post: 352953, member: 1835"] On the topic of going someplace else to get work done, here's this. We haven't done occlusal splints for over 10 years. They were labor intensive and too much of a hassle. With digital we have dipped our toes back into them with a bit of success. We made splints, for free, for one office for about 6 of the staff to work out the fit, form, and function. All of them were a home run, great fit, little to no adjustment and everyone was happy. Told the doc I wasn;t sure what we'd be charging, but it would be competitive. All is good and we move forward. we made a couple and charged a reasonable fee, I asked 7 different lab owners I know and we're in the ball park with our price. Here goes: We delivery the first 2 for fee splints and the whining starts. It seem that we are about 450 more than their current lab for splints. Then there's the "they are'nt retentive enough and I had to spend a few minutes adjusting it." I said:"Send your work to the other lab then." A few days go by and 4 splint cases come in. I guess they just needed to bully a little to see if I'd back down. Found out that they raised their fee to the patient by about $60. I guess if you want something good/better you're gonna be willing to pay. I don't care what they charge, but next month all of my fees are going up. [/QUOTE]
