Restorative Dentistry Claims
Restorative dental work is meant to bring back a smile to your face, so it’s painful and upsetting when it goes wrong.
Many people do not relish the prospect of dental treatment and restorative work is no exception.
The aim is to improve or restore teeth to a healthy and visually appealing state. If that goes wrong, due to substandard dental work, or a lack of due care, then you may have a claim for dental negligence.
What is a restorative dental procedure?
Restorative dentistry – also referred to as prosthodontic dentistry – is the treatment of diseases of the mouth, teeth and supporting structures.
Restorative dental work includes:
- Fillings, crowns, veneers and bridges
- Root canal treatment
- Tooth restoration, including dental implants
Why make a restorative dentistry negligence claim?
Negligence, or care that is below standard, can result in pain, infection, distress and the need for further dental surgery. In addition to this, you may need to take time off work to recover, as well as have the problems fixed.
Dental negligence compensation could allow you the time you need to recover, while easing the financial worries of time off work. It can help pay for treatment, travel to appointments and loss of wages.
How can First4Lawyers help?
Our medical law specialists know the ins and outs of making claims like these. They will do all the leg work to help you build a case and achieve maximum compensation, with the minimum of fuss.
We may also offer a No Win No Fee service (not applicable in Scotland or Northern Ireland for medical negligence).
Only pay a fee if you receive compensation
Our No Win No Fee solicitors will take a success fee from the compensation you are awarded for a successful claim in the form of a percentage of your damages. This could be up to 25% but it won't be more than that, except in cases of road traffic accidents. Changing laws mean our solicitors will now take a payment of 35% of the final compensation amount plus VAT for all road traffic accident claims.
First4Lawyers are an award-winning claims management company with a track record of delivering service that our clients love.
How much compensation will I receive?
Amounts of restorative dentistry compensation really depend on your individual circumstances – what happened, the recovery time and any ongoing effects (both physical and financial) to you.
Is there a time limit for making a claim?
There is usually a three-year period, from the date you became aware of the dental negligence.
