[QUOTE="boyan, post: 91356, member: 9025"] First I’d like to say I wont argue with anyone but I’ll show you my business plan. I welcome any criticism and I wont get offended … actually I think it will be a great learning experience: ROI plan: Currently: 250 FCZ crowns/year at $99 = 24,750 20 implant crowns/ year at $190 = 3,800 TOTAL: $28,550 Future: I have quotes on zirconia 98*/14mm discs for $130 (local guy so no shipping) and I can mill about 25-30 crowns on average. This makes a crown cost $5.20 plus an additional $3.00 for tools, electricity and other so total $8.20. 250 FCZ x $8.20 = $2,050 20 implants x $8.20 = $164 Labor: $0 – I guess I’ll spend less time on facebook. Staff is already on the payroll. And yes design takes 10-12min – I timed myself today. And for those critics I’ll post a pic of a milled crown in wax. Milling takes 15-20min. Staining is tricky – staff will learn it though – I’m not concerned. And after all I’ll be doing posterior teeth only…. so besides me and my hygienist no one will see back there. And from experience let me tell you – unless we are talking about 6 though 11 patients DO NOT CARE how their molar looks like! But thats only for as long as it is not black! Unforeseen issues: $1000/year TOTAL: $3,214 Total savings: $28,550 – $3,214 = $25,336/year Further more – now when I can make inlays and onlays and deliver them the same day (lava ultimate or other materials) I’ll have much more things to offer and increase production. I wont include this in the calculations though! Total investment: ezMill: $31,000 oven: $14,000 exocad: $5000 – I chose this because there are no yearly fees. PC and zirconia staining: $1400 Other things along the way: $600 Total Investment: $52,000 So break even point: 2 years. Have in mind I will definitely increase production through inlays/onlays, and I can become a provider of more ins. since profit margin is better now. Someone also asked about the scanner – why iTero and not 3M’s true definition or Trios. Well the reason is because iTero was FREE!!! I got it from the old doctor who sold me the practice. OK guys its your turn … hit me hard! [/QUOTE]
