Dental Warranty
Our practice is proud of the dentistry that we provide for you and your
family. Our goal is not to just correct any dental problems you may have,
but to show you how to prevent dental disease in the future to save you time
and unnecessary expense. The long term success of the dental treatment we
provide for you depends upon your continuing home care of your teeth and
gums, regular professional exams, cleanings and fluoride treatments. The
products recommended by us for you and the frequency of those professional
recare visits depends on your individual condition. Those visits may be
every 2, 3, 4, or even 6 months apart depending on your oral health. With
that in mind we offer the following limited dental warranties:
Dental Sealants
Sealants are plastic coatings placed on the chewing surfaces of the teeth to
prevent decay in the pits and grooves of the teeth. These are the most
common areas to get cavities. Floss and use of fluoride will help prevent
decay between the teeth. We will repair or replace sealants for a period of
3 years after placement. If decay is present on the chewing surface, the
replacement filling will be done at no charge. You must keep the prescribed
regular recall appointments or this warranty is null and void (minimum every
6 months).
Composite (Tooth Colored) Fillings
If a composite restoration is the recommended treatment of choice, we will
replace or repair it in the event of failure for a period of 3 years. If the
tooth breaks and requires a crown or onlay, we will credit the cost of the
filling towards the crown or onlay. You must keep the prescribed regular
recall appointments or this warranty is null and void (minimum every 6
months).
Root Canals
Root canal treatment is about 96% successful. They do occasionally fail. If
you loose your tooth within 3 years due to failure of the root canal, we
will compensate accordingly. You must keep the prescribed regular recall
appointments or this warranty is null and void (minimum every 6 months).
Crowns, Bridges, Inlays, Onlays, and Porcelain
Facings
We will warranty these most comprehensive procedures for a full 3 years. We
will replace or repair them at no charge during this three year period if
they break, are lost, or decay with normal use (this does not include
accidents that could break normal healthy teeth). You must keep the
prescribed regular recall appointments or this warranty is null and void
(minimum every 6 months).
Dentures and Partial Dentures
We will warranty dentures and partials for a period of 3 years if a tooth
chips or breaks, or a flange breaks under normal use. This warranty does not
cover accidents such as dropping your dentures. Full upper and lower denture
patients must be seen once every 12 months. Patients with some of their own
natural teeth must be seen at the prescribed recall appointments or this
warranty is null and void (minimum every 6 months).
Note: As you can see, we are confident of
the durability of our treatment as prescribed for you. The primary key to
your long term success is spending a few minutes a day on your home care,
brushing, flossing, fluoride and prescribed products. The second key to
success is regular professional examinations, cleaning, x-ray films and
fluoride treatment (2, 3, 4, & 6 month intervals depending on your
condition). This warranty does not cover accidents that cause damage to the
teeth or dental prosthesis. Failure to have these regular visits with our
office voids all warranties. Help us to help you maintain your teeth for a
lifetime.
