How can we help?
Cosmetic dentistry treatments are increasingly popular, offering patients the opportunity to enhance their appearance and boost confidence. While most procedures are carried out effectively and safely, negligent dental treatment can unfortunately occur, resulting in substantial pain, suffering and financial implications. At Stephensons, our specialist solicitors understand the sensitivity and complexities involved in cosmetic dentistry negligence claims. We provide compassionate, professional advice and representation to help you secure compensation and justice.
Cosmetic dentistry negligence occurs when a dental practitioner fails in their duty of care during cosmetic dental treatments, causing harm or injury as a direct result of their negligence. Treatments commonly associated with cosmetic dentistry negligence include teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, implants, orthodontics, and bonding. Negligence can arise from poor technique, inadequate diagnosis, failure to fully inform patients about risks, unhygienic dental practices, or substandard aftercare.
Common examples of cosmetic dentistry negligence include:
