Lab Policy

Warranty & Remake Policy

Consistency, quality and service are our mission. Every case we make is backed by a written warranty, and our policies are clear so you always know where you stand.

01 Our Warranty

The laboratory warrants that all dental devices are fabricated according to the prescribing dentist’s written specifications and are free from defects in materials and workmanship at the time of delivery.

Subject to the return of the original device that has been placed and subsequently fails, the laboratory will, at its discretion, repair or replace the device at no charge for materials and workmanship, or refund the original laboratory fee.

This warranty applies only to the original prescribing dentist and is non-transferable.

The laboratory shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including but not limited to clinical costs, chair time, or patient-related expenses.
