The dental treatment guarantee terms are subject to reduction or invalidation:

• if oral hygiene is neglected;
• if the dentists’ instructions are not followed;
• if removable restoration elements such as partial dentures or full dentures are not properly maintained;
• if the patient does not come for a routine check-up at least once a year – invoice required;
• if the reduction of the gum tissue or the tooth bone occurs naturally;
• if prosthetics are damaged by accident, e.g. by dropping dentures;
• if the patient’s illness has a negative impact on the dental condition (e.g. diabetes, epilepsy, osteoporosis or chemotherapy).

Occasionally, a trauma experienced during crown or bridge work might necessitate a subsequent root canal treatment. Krakow Dental Clinic is not liable for any problems that could not be diagnosed on the basis of the patient’s X-ray or could not be foreseen or predicted at the time of the patient’s dental treatment at Krakow Dental Clinic.
