LIMITED DENTAL WARRANTY Our practice is proud of the dentistry that we provide for you and your family. Our goal is to not 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 care visits depends on your individual condition. Those visits may be every 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 the 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 area of the sealant, 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). CROWNS, BRIDGES, INLAYS, ONLAYS AND PORCELAIN FACINGS We will warranty these comprehensive procedures for a full 5 years. We will replace or repair them at no charge during this five year period if they break, are lost, or decay with normal use (This does not include accidents that could also 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 denture. 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 appointment or this warranty is null and void (minimum every 6 months). |
