A few days ago, a lady, a first-time patient at the Clinic, asked me about the guarantee she had for the treatments she was going to have...<\/p>\n
I am often asked\u2026<\/p>\n
If the implants they are going to put in are for life...<\/p>\n
How many years will the crowns last\u2026<\/p>\n
Or<\/p>\n
The warranty period for porcelain veneers.<\/p>\n
I reply to everyone\u2026<\/p>\n
I don't know...<\/p>\n
Well, if teeth, in theory, are meant to last a lifetime!<\/p>\n
and people for one reason or another end up losing them\u2026<\/p>\n
What I know is that anything we place in our mouths to replace dental structures is inferior to what Nature created.<\/p>\n
And if a perfect natural work can be spoiled, any alternative can also be spoiled\u2026<\/p>\n
I also know that well-executed treatments have greater durability... and better, and (usually) more expensive materials, likewise...<\/p>\n
Neither I nor anyone else can guarantee anything regarding 100% in Medicine.<\/p>\n
What I can guarantee to people is that I will do everything within my power to provide them with the best possible treatment for their individual situation.<\/p>\n
In terms of the techniques to be used\u2026 Of the materials applied\u2026 Of the support and monitoring provided\u2026 Of the maintenance required from then on\u2026<\/p>\n
My guarantee is to make all treatment plans with long-term durability in mind.<\/p>\n
This is done by knowing from experience what works, what lasts, or not.<\/p>\n
Making \u201cpatches\u201d and looking at a situation in isolation doesn't work...<\/p>\n
Cheaper alternatives don't really either...<\/p>\n
On the other hand, studying cases with a global perspective and...<\/p>\n
Executing a plan with a beginning, middle, and end guarantees us a much higher probability of success!<\/p>\n
Another thing my patients take for granted is that I and my Team will be there for them when they need us most\u2026<\/p>\n
We truly care about people!<\/p>\n
We're not going to close or disappear overnight\u2026<\/p>\n
Being a \u201ccaring\u201d clinic makes a big difference!<\/p>\n
And it has great value...<\/p>\n
