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 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, cleaning 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 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 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.

COMPOSITE (tooth coloured) 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 and onlay. You must keep the prescribed regular recall appointments or this warranty is null and void

CROWNS, BRIDGES, INLAYS, ONLAYS AND PORCELAIN FACINGS: We will warranty these most comprehensive procedures for a full 5 years. We will replace or repair them at no charge during this five-year period if they break or lost. (This does not include accidents that could also break normal healthy teeth or decay from inadequate homecare). You must keep the prescribed regular recall appointments or this warranty is null and void.

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 appointments or this warranty is null and void.

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, using 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.
