Terms of guarantee:

The guarantee applies to dental restorations under normal conditions of use. In the unlikely event of failure of the dental appliances, Innovative Dental Care Ltd., agrees to cover all necessary dental and laboratory fees to rectify the problem. The patient must notify Innovative Dental Care prior any guarantee claims. Failure to do so will invalidate the guarantee.

It is required to return to the clinic for Annual Check-ups within 12 months of your previous appointment as long as you are under the Warranty period. The timing works on a "rolling basis" - that is, the date of your last appointment will determine your next 12-month deadline. After extensive restorative treatment it is often required to return to our clinic for bite adjustment, as it takes a while for the oral cavity and the teeth to get accustomed to the new appliances, and it is not always possible to adjust the proper bite at the time of the cementation. Innovative Dental Care is not liable for any unforeseen root canal treatment that might become necessary after tooth preparation or filling as well as any other problems that were not visible on the x-ray or were not predicted or seen at the time of the treatment. Guarantee does not cover any temporary dentures, crowns or fillings and denture relining.
