A trip to the dentist for a regular check-up should be a relatively straightforward and pain free procedure. You should be safe in the knowledge the dental practitioner is qualified and experienced in their job, however when the trips twice a year are left for longer than that, problems can arise and require more attention as a consequence.
It is completely understandable that when you visit the dentist, you expect the highest level of care and a fully professional service. If you feel that this is not the case and you feel that you have suffered or still have ongoing oral health problems, you could consider making a dental negligence claim.
Dental care can prove costly, so if you feel that you have experienced dental negligence either before, during or after treatment, it is worth finding out if there is anything we can pursue for you.
Possible claim types may include:
- A filling that has been carried out incorrectly
- Any damages to teeth during operations
- Any change in the sensitivity of your teeth
- Any issues with root canals
- Incorrect or wrongful procedure
- Wrong tooth being extracted/extraction of tooth when not necessary
This list is not exhaustive and there may be other issues that you have encountered with your dentist which are not covered here. If you believe that you have had a failed dental procedure, get in touch with us today to see if you could make a claim.

Damaged teeth from an operation
Dentists are medical professionals, and as such, are expected to carry out dental procedures in a safe and hygienic way. If you have suffered damaged teeth from an operation due to negligent treatment, then you are entitled to pursue a compensation claim.
If your teeth are visibly damaged, or if the damage is more than just cosmetic; such as increased pain, sensitivity, new pain in the teeth or nerves or a change in sensitivity, then our medical negligence specialists will be able to advise you on how to make a claim against your dentist.
Root canal complication claims
When you visit the dentist, you expect to leave with your teeth and mouth in good condition. Further complications as a result of your dental procedure should never happen. However, if your dentist has acted in a negligent way and your root canal procedure does not go as expected, this is likely to be a stressful and painful experience for you that could have been avoided. In these circumstances, you have the right to assess your legal options.
The compensation from your root canal complication claim could help cover the cost of any further or additional treatment. Furthermore, the compensation could finally bring an end to your suffering by paying for corrective surgery.
How Do I Prove A Failed Dental Procedure
If you are looking to make a failed dental procedure claim, you will need to prove that negligence did occur. To claim for negligent root canal treatment, damaged teeth or any of the points highlighted above, we recommend keeping a record of your failed dental procedure experiences close to hand, so that we can build a clear understanding of your experience and prove that negligence did occur. We will also collect statements from yourself and dental professionals alongside medical records.

Frequently asked questions about Failed Dental Procedure Claims
Our expert legal team answer your questions about making a Failed Dental Procedure Claim
The amount of compensation you may be entitled when you make a failed dental procedure claim will vary depending on the circumstances involved. Every negligence claim is different, so the final pay-out of compensation will be based on the severity of the injury you experienced. There are several other factors which are taken into account too, including the impact on your health, medical expenses, and any loss of earnings.
There are times and circumstances in which you can make a claim on behalf of a loved one, whether they a parent, partner or child. For more information take a look at our guide to making a claim for someone else.
When making a claim for a failed dental procedure, a claim should be made within three years of the negligence occurring or when the effects of the negligence first appear. This is to ensure that you do not miss out on any compensation you may be entitled to. In cases involving anyone under 18, the legal case must be pursued within three years from the date of their 18th birthday.

Case Study
Sarah's Story
"Now we have peace of mind"
My husband, Nick, went back and forth to the doctors for a long time and tried everything the doctor recommended. But his illness got worse, to the point that he was in agony.
In the end we got so desperate that we asked for a referral. The doctor was reluctant, so we had to consult a private hospital. That’s when we found out there was a tumour. It took years from the onset of his illness to finally start cancer treatment.
He used to be a man with a lot to live for, but in the end he was in so much pain that he withdrew from the family. He became angry that nobody had helped him sooner, and the legal team were able to give him the validation that he was desperately seeking. The NHS confirmed if they had done more, Nick would still be alive today.
