Dental Malpractice

Dental malpractice occurs when dental or dental assistant care falls below the acceptable standard of dental care causing significant personal injuries.  Dental malpractice can cause serious injuries, including nerve injury, disfigurement, significant infection, and even death. We handle all types of dental malpractice cases, but the most common are:

  • Negligent Anesthesia, usually resulting in death
  • Bridge/Crown problems, usually leading to infection
  • Infections – can lead to sepsis, brain injury, or death
  • Extractions – wrong tooth, or partial tooth, often leading to infection
  • Root Canal Injuries – can lead to infection or loss of tooth
  • Nerve damage
  • Failure to diagnose cancer – can lead to death

We have significant experience litigating dental and medical malpractice cases. Prior to representing injured patients, we were partners in well-respected defense firms in Atlanta, and represented dentists, dental assistants, physicians, and other medical providers in dental and medical malpractice lawsuits for 10 years.  This invaluable experience gives our clients an advantage in their cases. We understand how these cases are evaluated and litigated on both sides of the case.
