Our Warranty

Limited Dental Warranty

Our practice is proud of the dentistry that we provide for you and your family. Our goal is not just to 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 expenses. 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 we recommend and the frequency of those professional care visits depend on your condition. Depending on your oral health, those visits may be every two, three, four, or even six months apart. With that in mind, we offer the following limited dental warranties.

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 two years following the procedure. If the tooth breaks and requires a crown or onlay during this same time, we will credit the cost of the filling toward the crown or onlay. You must keep the prescribed regular recall appointments to maintain this warranty (minimum every six months) and complete all other treatments prescribed by your dentist to maintain this warranty.

Crowns, Bridges, Inlays, Onlays, and Porcelain Facings

We warranty these most comprehensive procedures for a full five years. We will replace or repair them at no charge during these five years if they break, are lost, or fracture with regular use (this does not include accidents that could break regular healthy teeth). To maintain this warranty, you must keep the prescribed regular recall appointments (minimum every six months) and complete all other treatments prescribed by your dentist.

Dentures and Partial Dentures

We will warranty dentures and partials for two years if a tooth chips, breaks, or a flange breaks under regular use. This warranty does not cover accidents such as dropping your dentures. Complete upper and lower denture patients must be seen once every 12 months. Patients with some of their natural teeth must be seen at the prescribed recall appointments to maintain this warranty (minimum every six months); you must also complete all other treatments prescribed by your dentist to keep this warranty.

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 daily on home care: brushing, flossing, fluoride, and prescribed products. The second key to success is regular professional examinations, cleaning, X-ray films, and fluoride treatment (two, three, four, and six-month intervals, depending on your condition). This warranty does not cover accidents that cause damage to the teeth or dental prostheses. Failure to have these regular visits with our office voids all warranties. Please help us to help you maintain your teeth for a lifetime.
