[QUOTE="JohnWilson, post: 170017, member: 213"] Anything we can make look more aesthetic will be charged for in my lab for as long as I have people willing to pay for it. Here is how I see it Standard Mono-zi 1200mpa while I have tried hard to make mine look better than the big boys there are certain shades that are impossible. My accounts pay about 30% more than national average for this restoration in my lab. They do this for their own reasons some I have created :) but most understand that this material will never look as good as LD. LD MONO Stain and glaze just looks great in the mouth its predictable with my digital mill/press work load. Its a money maker Cutback LD charged out at a 10% premium over S&G, I prefer to do MONO for obvious reasons but cover the added labor. Only about 20% of all my emax are cutback New 600 to 700mpa ZI, still not enough experience with it to know what I will do but if it looks as good as EMAX I will charge the same as EMAX. It all depends on how predictable the shades are. As for fully layered ZI its less than 1% in my lab and not viable product that I push I want it to go away, I try and not mention it. For micro cutbacks its about a $50 up charge on any unit, tooth or implant retained. [/QUOTE]
