Clinic treatment guarantee vs manufacturer warranty

A manufacturer guarantee replaces a failed product. A clinic guarantee is the clinic's promise about its own work: surgery, crowns and adjustments. They are separate and often very different.

In short
  • Ask what the clinic guarantees, for how long and under what conditions.
  • Ask how problems are handled after you return home.
  • Check whether regular check-ups are a condition.

Questions to ask

  • What exactly is covered: implant, abutment, crown, full-arch bridge?
  • For how long, and does it decrease over time?
  • Are check-ups at the clinic required?
  • Who pays for travel if a repair is needed abroad?
  • Is it written into my treatment agreement?
