Dental Negligence Claims

Dental Negligence Claims Explained

When might a claim for Dental Negligence arise? Dental negligence claims arise when a dentist does not produce a standard of work comparable with that of his colleagues because he fails to employ the skill of an average general dental practitioner. However, once he accepts referrals from colleagues for specific aspects of treatment, he is offering a higher standard of care, that of a consultant. Dental treatment is not free from risk and this sometimes results in damage despite reasonable skill being exercised, and then no claim can be brought unless no warning was given of well established risks.

Examples of claims our team have successfully pursued for our clients include a failure to recognise or treat dental disease, placing implants incorrectly, fractures during extraction of teeth, nerve damage and carrying out the wrong operation.

The dental negligence claim is progressed by obtaining your dental records and then a report from a general dental practitioner or consultant.

Most of the cases we pursue for our clients are dealt with on a “No Win, No Fee” basis.
