Terms of the guarantee:
The patients will have to make a check-up at least once a year during the guarantee period. This check-up can be done free-of-charge in our clinics or visiting a local dentist. In every check-up an orthopantograph x-ray must be taken and written proof (an invoice or letter from your local dentist) obtained, confirming that the check-up has been carried out and commenting on the status, any problems, and any work that was carried out (cleaning,etc). If any problem is detected it should be documented with photos. If you want to exercise your guarantee, we will require that you send us the written proofs, x-ray(s) and photos of the annual check-ups. In the case of periodontal problems and particularly after periodontal treatment, we advise the patient to have a check-up at least 2-3 times a year.
Our AllDental Travel clinics are not liable for any unforeseen root canal treatment after having a tooth prepared for crown and/or bridgework. Occasionally teeth suffer preparation trauma during crown and bridgework resulting in the need for root canal treatment afterwards.
Our AllDental Travel clinics are not liable for any dental problem which was not visible on the patient’s x-ray, and was not foreseeable or predictable when prescribing the treatment.
The guarantee is invalid if:
