When my dentist retired he recommended that his patients go another doctor that took up his practice and staff. One of the incentives to go was a guarantee of previous work performed by the retiring dentist. It’s been about three years now and I’ve had a crown replaced for 1/3 of the cost. I have bridge that cost me $7000, the new dentist told me if it broke he would replace for half of that (depending on the failure mode).
