Remake and Warranty Policy

Read more on our Remake and Warranty Policies

Through open communication with our doctors and the use of skilled technicians, we maintain a low remake rate. However, we realize that remakes do happen and will remake cases according to the policy listed below.

 

C&B Remake Policy

All Crown & Bridge remakes will be no cost if received within 2 months of the invoice date, with the following exceptions listed below.

  • We inquired about the margin or impression but were instructed by the doctor or doctor’s staff to “do the best we can” and make the case.
  • The doctor trimmed the die.
  • The metal try-in was approved and returned to us for completion.
  • The restoration was not seated by the same doctor that sent the case for fabrication.
  • Bridges where the pontic unit(s) had not been extracted or allowed sufficient healing time prior to the impression being taken.
  • The doctor instructed us to adjust the opposing due to a lack of clearance, or adjust the abutment due to a lack of clearance, lack of parallelism, undercut, or other reason.
  • Any crown fabricated under a partial/designed to an existing partial, where the actual partial is not provided to us.
  • The redo case instructs for a shade that is different than the original.
  • Remakes returned to us without the original restoration will be charged at 100% of the price. If the original restoration is returned to us at a later date, we will issue a credit to the doctor’s account.

C&B Lifetime Warranty is valid only for the prescribing clinician and is nontransferable.

Removables Remake Policy

All Removables remakes will be no charge if received within 30 days of the invoice date, with the following exceptions listed below. Remakes received after 30 days from the invoice date will be on a case by case basis.

  • We inquired about the impression but were instructed by the doctor or doctor’s staff to “do the best we can” and make the case.
  • We requested a try-in, but the doctor refused and instructed us to complete the case.
  • The master model was provided to us by the Doctor.
  • Complete dentures (immediate or otherwise) that were not fabricated with a wax try-in.
  • The redo case instructs for a shade that is different than the original.
  • Because Acetal Resin Overpartials are limited in the changes that can be made after processing, any change requested which was not part of the original Rx instruction and cannot be accomplished by adjustment will be billed at full charge for the remake.
  • Remakes returned to us without the original restoration will be charged at 100% of the price. If the original model and restoration are returned to us at a later date, we will issue a credit to the doctor’s account.

Orthodontic Remake Policy

All orthodontic appliances will be no charge if returned within 30 days of the invoice date, with the following exception below.

  • We inquired about the impression but were instructed by the doctor or doctor’s staff to “do the best we can” and make the case.
  • The master model was provided to us by the doctor.
  • Remakes returned to us without the original restoration will be charged at 100% of the price. If the original model and restoration are returned to us at a later date, we will issue a credit to the doctor’s account. 

Canceled Cases

Any case stopped mid-production will be charged based on the amount of work completed at the time the call to stop the case was received.

Rejected Cases

The cost of the crown, bridge, and removable restorations cannot be refunded (i.e., a refund check). If a case is for rejection rather than a remake, we will issue a 50% credit to the dentist’s account balance when the case in question qualifies according to the policy listed herein. The restoration must be returned with the original impression and model work.

 

Remake and Warranty Policy

Warranty

We guarantee our work to be free from defects in materials and craftsmanship, as provided below. All crown, bridge, and removable dental restorations will be constructed using the appropriate materials and the best practices of any well-run dental laboratory and will conform to the written specifications provided with each work order.

Any crown or bridge restoration that meets the qualifications for a remake and experiences a defect in materials or workmanship within a period of five years will be remade at no cost, with the exception of applicable shipping fees. Any removable restoration that meets the qualifications for a remake and experiences a defect in materials or workmanship within a period of one year will be repaired or remade, at our discretion, at no cost, with the exception of applicable shipping fees. A lifetime warranty is available, at a minimal charge, on all crown and bridge restorations. If you desire the lifetime warranty, please select this option on the Rx form. However, due to their temporary or delicate nature, the following products are not covered under any warranty:

  • Interim partials
  • Interim dentures
  • ThermoFlex tooth color injected clasps
  • Processed temporaries for abutments being prepared at the time of delivery

Orthodontic appliances (space maintainers, nance appliances, Hawley retainers, etc) received after 90 days from the invoice date will be billed accordingly for repair or remake. TAP and EMA appliances and occlusal guards/splints that meet the qualifications for a remake and experiences a defect in materials or workmanship within a period of one year will be repaired or remade, at our discretion, at no cost, with the exception of applicable shipping fees. EMA straps are not covered. Replacement straps are available.
