What types of claims can we help you with?

Periodontal/Gum Disease Mismanagement

Have you lost teeth or fear losing them due to gum disease, despite regular dental visits? We investigate cases where early diagnosis and referral could have prevented such outcomes.

Delays in Diagnosing Tooth Decay

Tooth decay often goes unnoticed until it’s too late, leading to painful complications such as root canal treatments or worse, extractions. With our specialist knowledge, we aim to help clients secure compensation for their injuries and the cost of any corrective treatments.

Tooth Extraction

Tooth extractions are common dental procedures, but sometimes things can go wrong. For example, if a tooth breaks during an extraction, your dentist should take an X-ray to check the remaining roots. If the dentist continues without the necessary skills or experience, you may have a case for dental negligence.

Root Canal Treatments

Root canal treatment may be necessary when the nerve inside your tooth is badly damaged or dead, often due to trauma, infection, or decay. This can lead to pain, sensitivity, and even an abscess. Early treatment of tooth decay and gum disease can help prevent this irreversible nerve damage, reducing the need for a root canal.

Failed Dental Implants

If you’ve experienced a dental implant failure, it can significantly impact your well-being, potentially causing pain, infection, and the possibility that the implant cannot be repaired or replaced.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry includes treatments like veneers, crowns, bonding, and teeth whitening – all designed to improve the look of your teeth and boost your confidence. But when things go wrong, the results can be painful, damaging, and deeply upsetting.
