Dental Malpractice Lawyer

Injuries caused by dental malpractice can be painful and traumatic. If you believe your dental health professional has breached their duty of care through negligence or intentionally wrongful acts, you may be eligible for compensation.

Any patient injury or wrongful death due to negligent dental work could constitute dental malpractice. To pursue a dental malpractice claim, you need to be able to prove that dental malpractice occurred and demonstrate the extent of your damages.

Understanding the complexities of the law to claim compensation can be overwhelming, which is where we come in. We can offer specialised advice and representation to help you succeed in obtaining fair compensation for your claim.

WHY YOU MAY NEED A DENTAL MALPRACTICE LAWYER

There are various situations where you may need the services of a dental malpractice lawyer. Dental professionals, including dentists, dental assistants, orthodontists, and oral surgeons, are expected to provide treatment with reasonable skill and care. Failure to deliver appropriate dental treatment can result in a breach of duty of care, potentially affecting a person’s dental and overall health. 

Common examples of dental negligence include:  

  • Surgical errors during procedures 
  • Damage caused to existing healthy teeth 
  • Lost or ruined implants/crowns 
  • Incorrect tooth removal 
  • Failure to investigate and properly diagnose symptoms for dental conditions 
  • Infections caused by dental incompetence 
  • Inadequate monitoring/checking of a patient’s dental condition 
  • Incorrect treatment/medication being prescribed for dental conditions 
  • Misread x-rays or other diagnostic imaging 
  • Lack of informed consent

THE FIRST STEP: CONTACT US

We understand that often deciding to investigate a claim is a very big first step to take. Most people are frightened of or at least apprehensive of the legal system, lawyers, or at the thought of ‘taking on’ a doctor, hospital or ‘the medical profession.’

To make it as easy as possible, just fill out the form and we will contact you to let you know whether we think investigating a claim is something you should think about. There’s no obligation and no fee involved…

If you’d prefer we can even just send you an email answering your question (if it is simple enough!) or pointing you in the right direction.

If we think a claim is worth investigating, we’ll arrange to meet for a coffee and a chat.

If you want, go ahead and let us help you with the first step.
