[QUOTE="enfuse419, post: 350418, member: 9127"] That's great that this dentist would like to make more or control more, would it be profitable or worth his time, I'm sure he knows the history of the dental lab and where it came from. As a technician it saddens me to see such conversations like this even to allow it here on this space. Just because someone quietly and gently asks for advice or answers do we or should give it out so easily? I've also noticed more and more dentist on this platform always asking for more insights and answers to production and trade knowledge and we for years built up to only see our fees constantly shrink. In this era of automation we as a trade may soon be stripped more and more of what we do. Does this happen in the dentist area of practice. Do patients involve themselves in self remedy and diagnosis? Maybe, but for the most part not really. So should we protect what we have left or ultimately leave this dwindling field to the scanners, printers, mills and now dentist who ultimately will make things cheaper, faster, easier. Has the dentist gone down in their own fees? Do they get ripped off when a patients dental insurance covers partial the cost, no...their fees have gone up and they place the patient in a binding contract before patients can even be seated in the chair and no to the latter statement, they do not lose anything when insurance doesn't claim everything the difference is just merely billed to the patient or you and your family. So, beware brothers, open info can be your untimely death especially to the person who ultimately is your only way of making a living. The only thing we have left.... because all the vendors and some brothers have sold it away a long time ago. [/QUOTE]
