Not every patient comes to your office with dental health insurance. Often these non-insured patients present the most severe dental issues (as many are unlikely to make an appointment until something goes wrong) and are the least able to pay for pricey procedures and appliances. As a dentist, you want to help all of your patients, so is there a way that you can offer them low cost appliances if they need something like a space maintainer,  Schwarz appliance, incline plane or something else?

The best way to offer your patients low cost appliances is to work with a well-established and local dental laboratory. A dental laboratory processes a continual flow of dental appliance orders and can cut costs due to a high volume.

It never hurts to shop around to see if you can find a dental lab near you that can offer better rates than your current lab or your in-house lab. Even a small price cut may make the difference between whether a non-insured patient can afford an appliance or not!
