GUARANTEE FOR DENTAL TREATMENT

During each treatment, we make every effort to provide our patients with long-term satisfaction with the results of treatment. We always do our best to make our patients satisfied with the perfect treatment, this is why you receive the conditions of maintaining the guarantee for the dental services provided by our clinic. We also would like to inform that we have a double insurance – not only INDEXMEDICA dental clinic has a third party liability insurance as a dental clinic, but also each of our dentists has also an individual third party liability insurance policy.
