Limited Warranty
Restorative Limited Warranty
Patients frequently ask us, “How long will my filling, crown, or bridge last?” At Simms Family Dentistry we strive for perfection and satisfaction, which is why we are happy to provide you this warranty. We focus on preventative dentistry at Simms Family Dentistry. You can prevent most of all disease spending a few minutes in the morning and a few minutes in the evening brushing and flossing and doing any other special treatments Dr. Simms or your Dental Hygienist has recommended. To further your preventive care we recommend that you have your teeth professionally cleaned and examined for decay, frequent fluoride applications and preventative sealants applied where feasible.
Our warranties will be null and void if you do not maintain your recommended cleaning interval at our office. Faithfully visiting us a minimum of two times per year will provide a winning plan for the health of your teeth and gums.
Warranty Plans
– Fillings: For a period of 3 years from the date of service, we will replace the filling due to breakage.
– Crown: If a crown breaks, the warranty policy is as listed below. This does not include replacement due to decay.
Age of Crown: Charge to patient
1-2 years: No cost for replacement
3-5 years: 50% cost for replacement
5+years: 100% cost for replacement
This warranty is null and void if the patient does not maintain the recommended cleaning and exam interval at our office.
* Gold and porcelain crowns are the same for practically all cases except approximately one(1) out of every 100 porcelain crowns chip and need replacement. This should be taken into consideration when choosing a gold or porcelain restoration.
If your tooth with the filling or porcelain/gold crown develops decay in the first year we will replace it free. However, if decay occurs after the first year you will be charged the current fee for a new crown. Decay develops from plaque left on the teeth on a daily basis. Therefore excellent oral hygiene is paramount to maintain the health and integrity of your crown or bridge.
If you have a filling, crown, or bridge from Simms Family Dentistry please print this warranty and keep for your records.
