In a perfect world, it would be great to be able to guarantee all of our dental work we provide. Unfortunately, it's unreal to expect all of our patients to be extremely diligent about not missing a recare appointment. We hear excuses all of the time for why people miss their regular cleanings. If that's the case, how is it fair to the dentist to guarantee work when some patients aren't prioritizing their own dental care. 

As dentists, we see so many patients who were once patients of another local dentist. How unfair is it to find decay around a crown which may be 4 years old and send that patient back to the previous dentist to have remade at no cost?  The other dentist has no clue how the hygiene has been maintained, etc.
