5-Year Dental Work Warranty

At The Dental Co., we are committed to delivering high-quality, long-lasting dentistry. To reflect this, our dentists offer a 5-year limited warranty on restorative treatments they personally perform, giving you added peace of mind. These treatments are:

If your restoration fails under normal use, the dentist who placed it will repair or replace your restoration in line with your warranty coverage. It’s our way of showing that our dentists are confident in the quality and longevity of their work. This applies and is limited
to:

• Porcelain/Metallic Crowns
• Porcelain Bridges
• Porcelain/metallic Inlays and Onlays
• Dental Implants (including all-on-X / all-on-4 restorations)

Separate Warranty – Provisional Implant Restorations

• Provisional implant crowns and provisional all-on-X / all-on-4 bridges carry a 12-monthwarranty from the date of placement.

Our Promise to You

If any of the above prostheses fail under normal function within five years from the date of placement, and where a warranty has been provided by the treating dentist, your dentist will repair or replace the prosthesis in line with a warranty scale (refer below).

The warranty will cover for:

• Breaking, chipping, or wear of the restoration
• Recementing of a restoration
• Recementing or re-screwing of an implant crown

If repair is not possible, your dentist will replace it with a new prosthesis of similar material and value.

Any associated fees will be based on a sliding scale:

• Within the first year: No charge
• Within the second year: 20% of the current treatment fee
• Within the third year: 40% of the current treatment fee
• Within the fourth year: 60% of the current treatment fee
• Within the fifth year: 80% of the current treatment fee
• After five years: Full treatment fee applies (100%)

If you have private health insurance, we will charge your health fund where possible and only invoice you for any gap.
