In most cases, the time limit for making a dental negligence claim is three years from the date the negligence occurred, or from the date you first became aware that your treatment may have been negligent. As strict deadlines apply, it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible to avoid missing the opportunity to bring a claim.
Compensation for dental negligence can help ease the financial and personal impact caused by substandard treatment. Depending on your circumstances, it may cover the cost of corrective dental work, medical expenses, lost earnings, ongoing treatment, and the physical and emotional pain you have experienced as a result of the inadequate service.
A successful dental negligence compensation claim can also provide valuable financial support during your recovery, helping you access the care and treatment you need to move forward with confidence.
Dental negligence occurs when a dentist or dental professional, such as a nurse, provides treatment that falls below an acceptable standard of care, causing avoidable harm.
Examples can include misdiagnosis of dental diseases or problems, unnecessary tooth extraction, nerve damage, poor cosmetic dentistry and failure to obtain informed consent before treatment.
The amount of compensation awarded in a dental negligence payout will depend on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your day-to-day life and any monetary loss you have experienced.
Every claim is unique, so the value will vary depending on the circumstances of your case. Satchell Moran’s no win no fee dental negligence solicitors can advise on the level of compensation you may be able to receive.
The length of a dental negligence claim can vary depending on the complexity of the case and whether liability is admitted.
Some straightforward claims can settle within just a few months, while more complex cases can take longer.
Our dental malpractice lawyers will work to progress your claim as efficiently as possible while ensuring the strongest evidence is gathered to support your case.
Dental negligence can have a significant emotional and psychological impact, including anxiety, stress, loss of confidence, depression or trauma related to dental treatment. If your mental health has been affected as a result of negligent dental care, this can be taken into account as part of your compensation claim.
To prove dental negligence, it must be shown that the dental professional breached their duty of care and that this directly caused you harm.
Dental negligence claims typically involve reviewing your dental records and obtaining an independent expert opinion.
While some cases are more complex than others, our experienced dental negligence team will help gather the evidence needed to build a strong claim.
Satchell Moran handles dental negligence claims under a No Win No Fee agreement, meaning you do not have to pay legal fees upfront.
If your claim is unsuccessful, you generally will not have to pay our legal costs. Our team can discuss funding options with you during your initial consultation.
You can make a claim for dental negligence against an NHS dentist or a private dental practice.
The claims process is similar to other clinical negligence cases and involves proving that the treatment you received fell below an acceptable standard and caused you harm.
Most dental negligence claims are resolved through negotiation and settled out of court. Court proceedings are usually considered a last resort.
Our experienced solicitors will aim to resolve your claim as smoothly and efficiently as possible, while keeping you fully informed throughout the process.
Evidence may include your dental records, X-rays, photographs, correspondence with your dentist, receipts for corrective treatment and an independent expert report confirming that the treatment you received was negligent.
The stronger the evidence available, the stronger your claim is likely to be.
