1. WHITE FILLINGS
For a period of 3 years from the date of service, we will replace a filling due to breakage, poor fit, or decay at no additional charge.
When a tooth has a cavity the dentist removes the decay and fills the hole with a filling material. The tooth supports the filling. The ideal filling is no more than 50% of the tooth. This leaves half of the tooth to support the filling. When you get a cavity that takes up 60% or more of the tooth, a crown (cap) is indicated. A crown covers the entire tooth and hold the tooth together. Sometimes we place a filling thinking there is enough tooth to hold the filling when actually there is not. The tooth then starts to break away because it can no longer support the filling. In this case we will credit your out-of-pocket cost of the filling towards the cost of a crown.
2. ROOT CANALS
If your Root Canal fails within a period of 3 years from the date of service, we will either refund your out-of-pocket cost of your Root Canal or retreat your failed Root Canal. In addition, if the tooth cannot be saved your out-of-pocket cost of the crown placed on the tooth in our office will be refunded during that 3 year period.
Do Root Canals always work? No! A Root Canal is a therapy not a cure. Root Canal Therapy is about 96% successful, however, they do occasionally fail.
3. CROWNS and BRIDGES
For a period of 3 years from the date of service, we will replace your crown or bridge that has failed due to breakage, poor fit, or decay at no cost to you.
