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:

• 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.
