Warranty and follow-up visits
The warranty policy is clearly divided between the implant posts, the connecting components, and the restoration itself. Complications such as peri-implantitis caused by improper hygiene, smoking, or a failure to attend follow-up visits are assessed separately by the dentist and should not be regarded as a defect in the materials used.
Patients should keep their records, receipts, and warranty card if one has been provided, and should also attend follow-up visits according to their scheduled appointments, so that the dentist can monitor their condition and address any unusual issues as early as possible.
The warranty policy is applied in accordance with current regulations and the specific conditions attached to each individual service or material.
