[QUOTE="Race, post: 338728, member: 25073"] I have experience outsourcing overseas in the past and I am happy to talk with you. What most people are unwilling to admit is that crowns are commodities and like every commodity, they are eventually mass-produced elsewhere. It has been reported that today over 50% of every crown placed in the US is outsourced in one way or another. That proves that Doctors DO care about price and those smart enough to run their practice like a business will seek the most competitive pricing available. We all know that doctors will change labs at the same rate as they do underwear and it's only a matter of time until the max price a doctor will be willing to pay for a very good high-quality crown is under $50 then $40 and then $30 and eventually, no US lab will be able to compete and make any money. It's not emotional, patriotism, loyalty, the quality of the material, or the craftsmanship of the product..... it's math! 90% of the cost of a crown is labor. You can specify the exact same materials used anywhere in the US and then, the only difference is the cost of the person doing the work. This is the same reason that the vast majority of electronics, automobiles in fact everything you can see or touch in the room you're in right now is made elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
