An attached yearly estimate is attached. No, you do not have to put quantity in column (F).

11. Page 6 : "All fixed and removable dental laboratory items shall be completed within fifteen (15) working days from the date of shipment from the VA to the date of delivery to the VA EXCEPT:

Repairs, rebases, and relines must be able to be completed by a local lab within one (1) working day when requested.

12. Page 7: Custom Implant Abutment Wings – Please clarify this product in more detail.

With the introduction of custom-made abutments designed by computers, dentists can now give their patients better accuracy and precision during the implant process. Custom dental implant abutments can make up for offset or angled implant placement while preserving anatomical shape. These abutments provide more accuracy since they are custom made to fit the tissue crest.

Custom abutments can be manufactured from gold or zirconia to create a better match for the teeth. They are suitable for aesthetic purposes, which means if you are missing a front tooth, the dentist will likely suggest custom abutments. They are identical to the patient’s dentition, even with gum recession.

13. On the excel price list is asking for BiteSoft on line 65. - Please clarify this product in more detail.

14. On the excel price list is asking for Duplicate Denture on line 51: Are you wanting

3D printed duplicate denture (less expensive) or do you want duplicate denture with Blueline teeth (cost will be similar to the lines 40-42 for complete denture with Blueline teeth?

The less expensive.

17. On the top of page 9 it states that “Schedule of Items pricing is all-inclusive of the metals used in fabrication.”. The cost of precious metals is volatile. Therefore, we bill for precious metals separately. Is pricing submitted to be inclusive of precious metals.
