If you’ve suffered harm as a result of negligent dental implant treatment, you may be entitled to compensation. We are here to help you understand your rights and guide you through the claims process with clarity and compassion.
What Is Dental Implant Negligence?
Dental implants are a complex procedure requiring precise planning, skill, and aftercare. Unfortunately, mistakes can and do happen. Negligence may arise when a dentist or dental practitioner fails to meet the professional standard of care expected, resulting in avoidable injury or complications.
Examples of negligent dental implant treatment can include:
- Poor planning or assessment, such as failure to take x-rays or assess bone density
- Incorrect placement of the implant, causing nerve damage or implant failure
- Infection caused by poor hygiene practices or lack of aftercare
- Failure to diagnose or treat complications in a timely manner
These errors can lead to serious consequences, including pain, infection, damage to surrounding teeth or nerves, and further corrective procedures.
Can I Make a Claim?
To make a successful claim, we will need to demonstrate that your treatment fell below the expected standard of care, and that you suffered harm or injury as a direct result of that negligent treatment.
This is where our expertise comes in. At Harris Fowler, our experienced solicitors will review your medical records, consult with independent dental experts, and gather the necessary evidence to support your case.
What Can I Claim For?
If your claim is successful, compensation can cover a range of losses, including:
- Pain and suffering resulting from the injury
- Cost of corrective treatment or future dental work
- Loss of earnings if time off work was required
- Travel or care expenses associated with your injury
Our goal is to ensure you are fully compensated for your suffering and expenses.
How Long Do I Have to Make a Claim?
In most cases, you have three years from the date of the negligent treatment, or from when you first became aware that something had gone wrong. However, there are exceptions, and it’s always best to seek legal advice as early as possible. Our team can advise you further on this over a no obligation telephone consultation.
