"Gurus" warranty
 

Dentists like Gordon Christensen and Howard Farran have been vocal in support of written warranty information individualized for each practice. One of them offers 15%/year of patient obligation, the other 20%/year. Restorative failure vs. Organic/Dental failure needs a simple-enough-for-a-layman, yet comprehensive-for-a-dental-professional, written description for failures of: filling vs. fixed vs. removable prosthetic. Also, the warranty will only be honored IF the patient continues in the practice recare system at least once a year following initial treatment. Do any other states have a written statewide warranty system description that Virginia can amend or follow?
