Questions about making a dental negligence claim? Call us on 0333 006 8282.
If your dentist, hygienist, or oral surgeon failed to meet the standard of care you deserved, through botched procedures, missed diagnoses, or substandard treatment, you have every right to claim compensation. Dental professionals owe you a duty of care, and when they breach it, you shouldn't pay the price.
We see patients dealing with mounting bills, pain, and anxiety after dental errors. None of that should be your burden. Call us on 0333 006 8282. It's No Win, No Fee¹.
Yes. Whether it's a botched root canal, poorly fitted crown, nerve damage from an extraction, or any other dental treatment that went wrong, if your dentist's error caused you harm, you deserve compensation. We handle dental negligence claims against both NHS and private dentists.
Compensation depends on the severity of your injuries and their impact on your life. Loss of a front tooth can range from £8,200-£10,540, while severe jaw injuries may be worth £28,610-£42,730. You can also claim for corrective treatment costs, lost earnings, and the pain and suffering you've endured.
Absolutely. Consent forms cover known risks of properly performed procedures, they don't protect dentists from negligence. If your dentist made errors, used poor technique, or failed to warn you about significant risks, a consent form won't shield them. Your right to compensation remains intact.
Yes. NHS dentists owe you the same duty of care as private practitioners. Your claim goes through NHS Resolution, which has a separate fund specifically for compensation, your claim doesn't take money from patient care budgets.
The process is straightforward and we handle it for you. Whether NHS or private, if a dentist has harmed you through negligence, you can and should claim.
You have three years from when you first realised something went wrong, not necessarily when the treatment happened. Don't wait though, dental records, expert opinions, and evidence are easier to gather early. If you're approaching that deadline, get in touch immediately.
Nearly 16,000 clinical negligence cases were registered with the Compensation Recovery Unit in 2024 alone. With NHS records showing 18 million adult patients seeing an NHS dentist in just two years and 34 million treatments delivered, substandard care affects more people than you might think.
These numbers highlight why it's so important to claim the compensation you're entitled to if you've been harmed by dental negligence.
Every day, we help hundreds of people across the UK claim the compensation they deserve after dental negligence.
