Prices for imported prostheses
You can consult an example of the sales prices of prostheses to dental practices
purchased from import laboratories from North Africa, Turkey, China, all hidden from the recipients, the Patients…
Competition means that French laboratories are trying to meet pricing levels to maintain activity with a serious drop in quality.
We must take into account that digital work, whether it is done on French soil or on the other side of the world, will be the same since it is done with the same machines.
The digital product is inexpensive and must be purchased at the cheapest price and will be more and more so in the future (why buy the same product more expensive)
For everything that requires knowledge and skills it is quite different!
The current risk is the significant loss of know-how and the growing dependence that occurs with mass importation.
Ultimately we will encounter the same problem of dependencies as with masks (even if many will say that this is not possible).
30 years ago it seemed impossible to buy prostheses from China!!!
You can browse the price of a Turkish laboratory.
(later I will put prices from other sources)
Import laboratory manufacturing in Türkiye
another laboratory here
yet another here
The list is very long and even if it is indicated in all of them a range made in France, what is the reality since there is no control and there can be an interpretation with the work just polished in France which becomes manufactured in France while they are made abroad.
