I know dental labs and dentists too. There are good people there, but there are huge egos all around.

When a case works out fine, the dentist is a hero, when it doesn't...the lab is at fault.

2 out of 10 dentists really know what they are doing. 8 out of 10 labs know what they are doing.

Some of the worst dentists practice for 40 years and have the biggest most successful practices.

Shitty dentists will make any crown fit, even crowns made for another patient. Unbelievable but true.

I totally agree that dentists are cashing in with regards the manufacture of crowns, bridges, dentures and orthodontic appliances. I am a fully qualified dental technician here in the UK and the wages of a technician are so low that street cleaners get paid more! For this reason I do not practice my art. Patients have no clue as to how little these appliances are purchased for by the dentist and how skilled the technician is at making them. Without technicians dentists wouldn't exist!!!!!!!

@somogyi1973, You'd be surprised at the people now that are not accepting the "out of the box" looking dentures that doesn't fit properly and looks like they belong in a horses mouth. Denist will charge you an arm and a leg for dentures, and use the cheapest lab possible. Dentures have taken a huge step back from the 70's. Many denist doesn't have a clue, but most doesn't give a crap. We have been in an ongoing process for months trying to get the dentures right, and we're not going to settle.
