"yes, crowns cost a lot. coz it's custom made for you. and a lot of the money goes to the lab fee. and the materials used to make the crown is expensive"

It seems dental lab. is a decent business. Do you have any idea how big is the portion of the money goes to the dental lab? Is it bigger than the portion which the dentist get?

Dentist is at the top of the dental team, it is no doubt he earns the most.  They are the most educated of the dental team (I supposed), it is reasonable for them get the most of the money. If a patient needs a crown, he pays $1000(for example, I have no idea) to the dentist. According to your information, the lab gets about $300 to $500. That means in some occasion, the lab gets half of the money.
It is not bad at all. how to get into this occupation? Do we need a degree or second degree?
