  • Lighting in Your Porcelain Dept. / Ceramist Bench
    Topics: Workstations and Lighting

    Ceramists and lab owners, we are using conventional 4' ballasts with daylight flourescents (3050 lumen output at 6500k temp) and it is not helping to translate proper shades in our restorations. What are you using in your porcelain department/ceramic benches?

      There is a danger and a benefit to this situation because its a friend whos offering this opportunity. The most common problem I have seen as a consultant is the Dr requiring more attention than you initially expect. I would make sure you have a contract - Ideally one where you define it as a lease of...See more space and equipment (and maintence), No restrictions on outside clients as well. Also i would take your fee schedule and evaluate the savings on shipping, remakes and adjustments - Drs always love asking tech to adjust or polish every little thing. Best of luck and let us know what you decided?

Are your clients considering chairside CAD/CAM? Some laboratory owners feel dentists aren't getting an accurate picture of the expenses involved with chairside systems. Educate them on their investment, including the cost of equipment, maintenance, porcelain blocks, milling burs and the most important thing: time.
