[QUOTE="tandob, post: 315033, member: 22934"] Hey everyone, New to the network, love what you guys have got here. I'm a dentist from Canada that has a solo practice in a small town of 1500 and I love dentistry. I have decided that I want to start making my own fixed lab work for a variety of reasons; lower cost to patient, increase speed of delivery, quality control, and I also just love the craftsmanship aspect of it. I am looking for ideas and opinions on what would be the most practical and economical way to do everything in-house. I'm not looking to go super high tech. My idea so far is to get a porcelain furnace and feldspathic porcelain starter kit and just start layering and firing crowns and bridges. Is all-porcelain crown and bridgework a viable option? If not, what is going to be the most practical way to make a metal or zirconium frame in my humble office? If it is a viable option to start out, does anyone have advice on which products to look at (brand and type of porcelain, furnace, and any auxillary tools and materials required). Thanks everyone and looking forward to my dental lab tech journey and sharing cases with you guys, Tanner [/QUOTE]
