Pan-Am Customer Satisfaction Guarantee

Pan-Am Dental guarantees complete customer satisfaction for the first 30 days after completion of all new products. If not satisfied, Pan-Am will take the following steps to make it right:

  • Remake or repair the original product at no additional cost to the customer.
