Dental malpractice occurs when a dentist or dental professional fails to provide the standard of care expected in their field, resulting in harm to the patient. These cases can range from minor complications to severe injuries that affect your ability to eat, speak, or live comfortably.
Even a routine dental visit can lead to serious issues if negligence or incompetence is involved.

How do I know if I have a dental malpractice claim?
If your injury resulted from a dentist’s negligence—like a botched procedure or misdiagnosis—you may have a claim. A consultation can confirm.
Can I file a claim for someone else?
Yes. If a loved one is incapacitated or unable to file, a guardian or family member can act on their behalf.
What evidence proves dental malpractice?
Dental records, X-rays, expert testimony, and photos of injuries are essential.
How long does a dental malpractice case take?
Cases can take months to years, depending on complexity, injury extent, and trial needs.
Will I need to go to court?
Many cases settle, but we’re ready to litigate if the offer isn’t fair.
What if I had prior dental issues?
Pre-existing conditions don’t prevent a claim. If the malpractice worsened them, you may still recover.
How much is my dental malpractice case worth?
Value varies by injury severity, treatment costs, lost income, and suffering. A case review provides an estimate.
A confidential settlement was achieved for the estate of an elderly woman with high blood pressure who was stricken with cardiac arrest in the dentist’s chair after receiving anesthesia containing epinephrine (synthetic adrenaline) which is known to cause dangerous reactions in patients with high blood pressure.
The dental treatment of patients with high blood pressure requires special care. We are one of the few firms which practice in this often difficult area of law. We created a Power Point presentation that presented our clients case forcefully and convincingly. The result was a settlement negotiated in mediation in favor of our client who was spared the burden of extensive litigation and trial.
A confidential settlement was achieved in favor of a New York woman who learned from her New York dentist that a metal piece had broken off and was left in her mouth after a root canal procedure in Miami one month before.
Florida law presumes liability against a health care provider in the event of objects such as medical equipment left inside the human body. But the presumption can be rebutted, and there must be proof that substantial damages resulted.
Dental malpractice is a practice area we have developed over the years, and we selectively accept such cases in our practice. While files can broke during a procedure even in the hands of a skilled dentist, it is malpractice for the dentist not to advise the patient, and not to take reasonable steps to remove the broken hardware from the patient’s tooth after such an occurrence.
In one case, our client, a lovely lady in her mid-60’s, needed a tooth extracted. She had a history of rheumatic fever. This means that she was especially vulnerable to dangers from infection, and under applicable dental protocol in effect at the time, the dentist was to administer extra doses of antibiotics before removing the tooth, not just afterwards. Unfortunately, our client’s dentist failed to follow this procedure, and as a result, our client developed an infection in her system that attacked her rheumatic heart valve, necessitating open heart surgery.
We successfully negotiated a six-figure settlement that enabled our client to purchase an annuity providing her ongoing comfort and security.
