Warranty was possible the wrong word.  My MIL's crown disappeared 
(swallowed?).  My wife switched dentists before hers came off the first time, 
the second dentist couldn't be expected to pay for the first dentist's work 
(the crown wasn't broken).  Sometimes the underlying tooth deteriorates or 
shifts, which could not have been foreseen by the dentist or the denturist 
(the man who made the crown).  I'm not making excuses for them, it p*sses me 
off, but that is just my experience with crowns in 
Phoenix.........................................................
