Mrs A secured £6,500 compensation after her dentist provided her with poor implant treatment.

Mrs A from the South East put a lot of trust in her dentist, like most people do. She attended her regular check-ups and believed that Dr H was providing her with the best level of care. She felt she could trust his opinion on what treatment would be best for her oral health.

When Dr H suggested that one of her teeth should be extracted and replaced with an implant Mrs A didn’t think anything of it and agreed to go ahead with the procedure. The tooth was extracted by Dr H and an implant was placed.

For a while everything with the implant seemed fine, but it didn’t stay that way. Mrs A made an appointment to visit another dentist after the implant failed. The new dentist found that the implant was poorly positioned. It was also noted that Dr H didn’t inform Mrs A that she had periodontitis. This meant that there would have been a high risk of implant failure. If Mrs A had been advised properly about the risks of implant failure then she wouldn’t have gone ahead with the procedure.

Mrs A commented, “I thought I could trust Dr H with the procedure. I felt he had kept important information from me that could have swayed my decision to not have the implant. Now I’ve had to have a replacement and it could have been avoided and I feel really let down.”

The new dentist told Mrs A that she would need periodontal treatment first and after that a replacement implant would be fitted. Since being provided with the implant by Dr H, Mrs A has suffered the avoidable loss of the implant and an avoidable bone grafting procedure. Due to the lack of care shown by Dr H she will now require a replacement implant.

Mrs A said, “I felt like I needed to do something when I was told about Dr H’s mistake. Not really sure of how to go about a complaint I contacted the Dental Law Partnership. They put me at ease straight away and listened to my concerns and the possibility of a potential claim. They’ve helped me secure the compensation that will now go towards future treatment.”

We understand that starting a claim is a daunting process and can seem complicated, however at the Dental Law Partnership we hope to make the process as friendly and as easy to understand as possible.
