What If Every Treatment Came With a Safety Net for Your Time and Revenue?

Imagine this.

A patient comes back months after their treatment with a problem. Maybe it was a crown. Maybe an implant. Either way you’ve already delivered the work, booked the chair time, paid the lab bills, and sent them on their way smiling.

But now… they’re back. And under the 12-month ‘standard’ warranty hidden in your small print, your team absorbs the rework. You don’t get paid again. You lose that appointment slot. And your associate? They’re out of pocket too.

It’s the unspoken cost of being a good practice.

But what if every treatment came with a safety net?

Let’s Break It Down

The Reality:

Most practices informally absorb the cost of treatment rework. You probably don’t track it — but if you did, the numbers might surprise you.

• A single failed crown redo could cost you £300–£600 in materials, lab, and lost revenue.
• Across a year, just one issue per month could easily total £5,000–£10,000 in hidden losses.

‍

The Ripple Effect:

Rework doesn’t just cost money, it costs trust. Even if you fix the issue, patients may lose confidence. Worse still, your clinicians are penalised for something they didn’t necessarily do wrong.

The Solution:

A 5-Year Warranty

When you build a comprehensive treatment warranty into every plan, you’re doing more than offering peace of mind, you’re building a buffer:

1. Time Protected – You’re paid again if rework is needed. Your clinicians don’t lose out.

2. Revenue Preserved – That chair time isn’t wasted. It’s covered.

3. Trust Reinforced – Patients feel reassured. Your care is seen as premium and proactive.

4. Practice Grows – Because offering this kind of protection becomes a true USP.

Why Practices Are Making the Switch

Dental leaders across the UK are starting to ask the question:

“Why are we covering the cost of rework… when we could be protecting it instead?”

By implementing a universal treatment warranty system (and rolling it into every case) practices are:

• Preventing awkward patient conversations
• Stopping revenue leakage
• Giving their teams the confidence to deliver treatments backed by long-term care

Key Takeaway

You’re not just fixing teeth. You’re running a business.

And in business, protection matters.

So what if every treatment you offered came with a built-in safety net, not just for your patient, but for your practice too?

It can. And it already does, for those using SmileSafe.
