Errors by Dentists

Most dental care is of a good standard. However dentists can make mistakes which cause unnecessary pain and suffering and lead to increased expense for patients. Typical dental errors include:

· Inadequate root canal therapy
· Failed implants
· Extracting the wrong tooth
· Failing to manage and treat decay
· Inadequate fillings
· Inadequate crowns
· Failing to manage gum disease (periodontal disease)

Cosmetic Dentistry

An increasing amount of dentistry is for cosmetic procedures. These include bleaching, porcelain veneers, crown and bridgework and orthodontic work. Some dentists use dermal fillers, Botox or Hyaluronic acid. Dentists who do this sort of work should be specially trained and even then dental errors sometimes occur.

Implants

Implants are increasingly used to replace missing teeth. This involves fitting a titanium plate into the jaw and fitting a crown to it. If there is not enough bone in the jaw, bone can be grafted. Fitting implants is a skill and our dental error team will make sure you get compensation if you implant is not done correctly.
