[QUOTE="Mark Jackson, post: 27778, member: 153"] What I am saying is, that having the lab fee seperated from the doctors labor, so that they can see what the lab fee is, has not INCREASED the amount Canadian labs are charging to dentists. If anything, I believe it will compel patients to look for lower priced crowns when they compare invoices with their co-workers crown, which looks exactly the same TO THEM, but cost half as much. Most patients want their crowns to: 1) Not hurt 2) Be available in a single appointment if possible 3) Look like a tooth 4) Chew like a tooth 5) As inexpensive as possible 6) Last the rest of their life. I think disclosing country of origen, and giving them a material disclosure form will allow them to better compare apples to apples, and is much more important than having them know what the dentist paid for it. As a patient, I would much rather know that my implant crown was made in the USA and made of gold or tiatnium, when I compare mine to my neighbors which was made in China from Nickle and chrome, regardless of the dentists fee.
