Dental Negligence Claims

If you or a loved one have suffered avoidable harm due to failures in your dental treatment, you may be entitled to pursue a claim for compensation.  Our specialist dental negligence solicitors are here to support you and could help you get the compensation you deserve.

It is recommended we attend regular check-ups with our dentist to ensure our teeth, gums and mouth are healthy, but it can also identify any problems at an early stage. Early intervention for a dental problem usually makes treatment easier and more likely to be successful.

However, the care received from a dentist can sometimes fall below the standard expected, which could lead to unnecessary pain, suffering, loss of teeth or poor cosmetic results.
