Cautiously optimistic

It sure is exciting to see the attention removable prosthetics is getting out there. I must get a call a week from fixed laboratories looking to open up a denture dept.
Although its exciting, I am cautiously optimistic as to whether this is good or bad overall. It seems most calling think that all you have to do is buy equipment and offer the service, even though they haven't made a denture in 20 years or better.

Many ask, whats the fastest way to make a denture? Yikes, continue making your crowns and stay out of the denture specialty! There are already too many who think that the best way to make dentures is fast and dirty. There is a perfect opportunity to elevate the denture specialty, and rise above the mediocrity, but instead people are looking to get in for a fast buck. Sure, there are instances when something is critical and a case is time sensitive, but these should be the exception, not the rule. 8 hours, 2 hours, 20 minutes, 5 minutes when is enough, enough?

By the way, plates are something you eat off of, not something you eat with. Its tissue, not gums, pontic, not dummy tooth. You owned a dental lab for 20 years and still don't know the vernacular?
