    Well one thing I can say is you've done a much better "sales
    presentation" than my dentist staff did.

    But I'm not talking about the cost of the crown. I'm using that as
    my STABLE number. 

    A veneer takes less time and less material, and less risk than a
    crown. 

    Should cost less. 

    In my repair price book it's all abased upon time and material, not
    gouging nor "what the public will bear." 

    This vaneer is because I had a "dip" where the tooth met the gum, in
    BACK. Not visible to people. It was uncomfortable. 

    But then again, If a dentist can get $10 for 1-1.5 hours and he goes
    to school for 7 years, why can't a jeweler charge a MEASILY $125-$150
    an hour his his/her time?
