Dental treatment should leave you with a healthier smile—not long-term pain, complications, or avoidable tooth loss. Unfortunately, negligent dental care can have devastating consequences, from failed procedures and unnecessary extractions to untreated infections and lasting damage.
At Aston Knight Solicitors, our specialist dental negligence solicitors have extensive experience helping clients pursue dental claims after negligent treatment. If you have suffered harm because of poor dental care, we can help you secure the compensation you deserve.
Common Types of Dental Negligence Claims
We act for clients in a wide range of dental compensation claims, including:
- Unnecessary or negligent tooth extractions
- Failure to diagnose and treat gum disease or tooth decay
- Incorrect fitting of crowns, bridges, or implants
- Root canal treatment errors
- Cosmetic dentistry negligence (veneers, whitening, orthodontics)
- Delayed or missed diagnosis of oral cancer
- Poor infection control or hygiene causing illness
What Can You Claim For?
A successful dental negligence claim can provide financial support to correct the damage caused and help you recover. Compensation may cover:
- Pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life
- The cost of corrective or restorative dental treatment
- Loss of earnings and future income if treatment impacts your work
- Psychological distress and loss of confidence
- Travel costs and expenses for treatment
- Long-term care if more serious complications occur
Case Study
Case Example – £45,000 Dental Negligence Settlement
Mr A suffered years of negligent treatment by his former dentist, leading to multiple dental complications and the loss of several teeth.
Before approaching Aston Knight Solicitors, Mr A had consulted two other firms, including a specialist dental negligence practice, both of which advised he did not have a case. However, solicitor James Winterbottom of Aston Knight Solicitors reviewed the matter, obtained evidence from a senior dental expert, and issued court proceedings.
The case was successfully resolved, with Mr A receiving a £45,000 settlement—an outcome he was delighted with. The dentist responsible has since been struck off, having caused similar harm to many other patients in the Bury and Ramsbottom area.
This case highlights the importance of seeking second or even third legal opinions if you believe you have suffered from dental negligence. Aston Knight Solicitors has a strong track record of succeeding in cases that other firms have rejected.
