[QUOTE="JohnWilson, post: 91103, member: 213"] Hey Dr, I was reading over your very informative website (do you really think patients understand the expansion of type 4 stone) Anyhow I saw a fact you posted about how you graft every extracted tooth site. This seems way over kill and certainly not the norm in this industry. I see you flat rate your extractions at a premium to cover this cost, I suppose this is a good source of income compared to your competition. How do you justify the need to do this? Also you seem to push a very large cash discount up to 30%. This seems outrageous, as a business man how do you mangage to make that number work? You mention how much superior your methods are over your competition but it appears you are after the same patients that are shopping at what you call "Mills" Do you consider your practice a mill? I see you have some positions open for tech's are you compensating on hourly, piece work or a day rate?. Since you model is to have one tech from start to finish I am interested in the Techs cut on a $300 denture as essentially it takes the same time to set a cheap tooth as a premium tooth. I guess you have to rely on the extractions to make money on these imd. cases. I have been doing removable for many many years, I know the benefit of being chair-side, I also know how much time this takes as well. A tech in house is not very productive if having to be in the op more than a few minutes a day as see it. Again this may seem argumentative but its not meant to be, I respect new ideas and all but I just don't see how you can produce anything for under a 1000 an arch and still make money on it. Post insertion adjustments alone would eat your time up unless your delegating that responsibility to the tech?? [/QUOTE]
