Return & Replacement Policy
1. Return & Replacement Eligibility
Dentex offers a 10-day return and replacement window for most products. The window starts from the date your order is confirmed as delivered.
To be eligible for a return or replacement, your item must meet all of the following:
- The product must be unused and in its original condition.
- The product seal must be intact and untampered.
- All accessories, warranty cards, manuals, and parts must be included.
- The original product packaging must be undamaged.
- The correct product (no defacement, intact serial/brand).
- The product must not fall under the Non-Returnable category (see Section 4).
Our commitment: Replacement first, refund if unavailable.
Replacement is always our first option. A refund will be issued only if the exact product is out of stock at the time of processing your request.
2. Checking Your Delivery
When your order arrives, take a moment to inspect it before the delivery agent leaves.
- Outer packaging damaged or seal tampered? Do not accept the delivery. Ask the agent to note the refusal and contact us immediately.
- Packaging looks intact? Accept delivery, then carefully open and verify contents.
Contact us instantly if your delivery is refused or looks suspicious:

5. How to Raise a Return Request
Log in to your Dentex account and go to My Orders.
Select the order and click Return / Replace. Confirm the item is within the 10-day window.
Choose the item(s) you want to return, select a valid reason, and upload the required images and short video showing the issue.
Submit your request. Our team will review and confirm.
Reverse pickup will be scheduled once your request is approved.
Please Note: If you do not provide the required images or video within the 10-day return window, Dentex reserves the right to deny your return request.
6. Reverse Pickup
Once your return request is approved, we will arrange a free reverse pickup from your doorstep. Our logistics partner will attempt pickup.
- Please pack the item securely in its original packaging with all accessories, labels, and a copy of the invoice inside.
- The pickup agent will perform a basic visual inspection, and could be instructed not to pick up the product. Shipping charges will not be refunded. Upon submission of a valid return request, however, please note that reverse pickup is subject to PIN code availability.
7. Quality Check & Replacement/Refund Timeline
All returned products go through a Quality Check (QC) by our team. Refunds or replacements are processed only after successful QC verification.
If your returned product fails QC due to the product found to be used, damaged, missing components, or being the wrong product, we will notify you within 2 business days with the reason. We shall not be held responsible for the return of any incorrect product that has been mistakenly submitted for return. Customers are requested to ensure that the correct product is handed over at the time of return pickup.
8. Technical Assistance
Before we process a return for product-related issues, our technical or vendor team may reach out to help resolve the problem via a call or online troubleshooting — this often saves your time.
- If the issue cannot be resolved locally, we may ask you to consult a nearby technician. Valid technician charges will be reimbursed, subject to prior approval from our support team. Only valid GST tax invoices will be accepted — handwritten or unverified bills will not be considered.
- If you prefer not to seek local technical assistance, please let us know and we will arrange a reverse pickup subject to policy eligibility.
9. Warranty Claims
Quick guide — Return vs Warranty:
- Got a defective product within 10 days of delivery? Raise a standard Return / Replacement request — do not file a warranty claim.
- Product developed a fault after the 10-day window? File a Warranty Claim directly with the manufacturer using the guidelines below.
For warranty claims beyond the 10-day return window:
- Physical damage, misuse, or tampering is not covered under any warranty.
- Products are covered only under the original manufacturer's or importer's warranty terms.
- Warranty service is handled directly by the manufacturer or importer — not Dentex.
- Dentex does not replace warranty products but can assist you in registering a service request with the manufacturer.
- Before placing a warranty claim, please review the Warranty section on the product page for that product's specific coverage and terms.
