Dental claims

If your treatment at a Dental surgery has fallen below a reasonable level we can help you with a complaint against your dentist and you may be able to make a claim for compensation.

Dental experts are subject to the same duty of care as all health providers and the mistakes of a small minority may lead to significant harm.  Whether your treatment was private or NHS or the reason for the work was medical or cosmetic you may have a claim.

Examples of potential dental claims would include:

• Incorrect decision of the correct treatment offered such as removal of teeth
• Delay in treating a condition such as infection which can often make the problem worse
• Failing to x-ray at an early stage to determine what may be the cause of your problem
• Failing to correctly interpret an x-ray and act upon it
• Nerve damage caused by negligent treatment

How much can I claim?

The value of claim will vary hugely depending on your circumstances.

Factors which will affect the claim include:

• The extent of pain and suffering
• The amount you may have had to pay for additional treatment
• Help you may have had from a friend or family
• Loss of earnings
• Travel expenses

It is important to discuss your circumstances to determine whether you can make a claim.  For a free chat in total confidence please contact one of our team on the number below and we will be pleased to help you.
