Just under £100,000 secured for a woman whose extensive dental implant treatment led to multiple infections and job loss

We acted for a lady who had extensive dental treatment in her late 40s in order to reconstruct all her teeth after she lost the majority of them as a result of health issues. Her treatment included very invasive jaw surgery and the placement of multiple dental implants and bridges in her upper and lower jaw.

Our client suffered from multiple infections over many years which resulted in the failure of most of the implants. She had lengthy periods off work and lost her job as a result of the infections and the various operations that she had to undergo.

We presented a claim for damages against the surgeon who carried out the initial surgery and the dentist who provided the bridge treatment.

Liability was disputed by both defendants and legal proceedings were issued and expert evidence was obtained from a team of medical and dental experts. The matter was ultimately settled before trial for just under £100,000.00 in damages.

Our dental negligence team are experienced in all types of dental treatment. We understand that negligent treatment that leads to tooth loss or poor cosmetic results can have a devastating impact on a person and we can provide support from start to finish and recover the cost of corrective treatment.

Over £40,000 secured for a woman who had bridge work done to her upper teeth

We acted for a lady who brought a claim against her dentist for negligent treatment surrounding a bridge she had placed, which she hoped would improve the appearance of her upper front teeth.
Our client had healthy upper teeth and opted to have the bridge because she was unaware that in preparing the teeth for the bridge, her healthy teeth would be exposed to an increased risk of gum disease and decay and a significant amount of healthy tooth structure would have to be destroyed to bring about an acceptable cosmetic result.

Extensive restorative treatment was required to correct the substandard treatment and we argued that further expensive treatment would be required in the future.

Legal proceedings were issued and the matter settled, without trial, for over £40,000. The settlement included compensation for wasted past treatment, pain and suffering and future treatment costs.
