If you guys don't mind, would you post the lab time turnaround for your schools? UNC's is ridiculously slow IMO and makes finishing cases (esp RPDs) take forever.

Full Gold crown: 14 working days
Framework for FPD: 14 working days
PFM Crown (model work done when turned in): 16 working days
PFM Crown (model work done by lab): 19 working days
Cast RPD Framework: 16 working days
Processing dentures: 14 working days
Finishing dentures: 4 working days
Relines: 4 working days

*note that these are working days so it's even longer than it looks.

I would like to see how we compare to other programs, though I think we will be on the slow end 😡

We're supposed to allow 10 working days for everything except denture relines, which are due by noon & done overnight.

Our lab times are about 7 working days for everything, but I think those will change soon because our lab facility was recently completed and a private lab from the community is relocating their facilities to our clinic building. That should eliminate a day of pick-up time and a day of drop-off time.
