[QUOTE="TheElusiveSasquatch, post: 299904, member: 21333"] Thanks for the replies. I don’t care about the difference between 15-20 units/puck and 25 units. Either way it’s cost effective. I actually was a CEREC guy, but I don’t have the chair time to do same day and the MCXL wasn’t reliable. But those crowns dropped in and actually fit like a glove. I appreciate the lab guys, Grant :) but I also appreciate $6000 in lab fees /mo that I’d like to knock down a little bit. But actually most of the reason is actually for better turn around times for our patients, but it still needs to make financial sense to justify the expense and work involved, hence the check of costs. You also have to remember that dentists aren’t turning away patients to make time for in house milling. It’s $0 productivity time this would replace. I’m not delaying implant patients so my team can mill a crown, obviously that’s bad business. Our removable guys havent been reliable enough and with our fees we can’t afford the $300/arch guys. The crown lab costs are tolerable, but that’s the part that needs to amortize the equipment; I can’t switch to this for removable if the crown savings don’t also pay for it. My primary concern is if remvoable can be made at a good enough savings to justify the system without taking all of my business away from my crown guy [/QUOTE]
