At the Dental Law Partnership, we specialise in restorative dentistry negligence claims, helping our clients get the justice and compensation they deserve for substandard treatment. We operate on a no-win, no-fee basis, so you won’t pay a thing if your claim is unsuccessful.

Yes, you may be able to sue your dentist for a bad root canal if the procedure was not performed to an acceptable standard, or if your dentist neglected their duty of care, resulting in unnecessary pain, harm, and suffering.

If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to contact another dentist as soon as possible for an assessment and to document any issues if you’re considering starting the claims process.
As with all dental negligence claims, the amount of compensation you may receive for a failed root canal will depend on the unique circumstances of your case. You’ll usually receive compensation for both the pain and suffering caused and any financial losses you’ve experienced as a result of the negligent treatment.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to put an exact time-frame on a root canal-related dental negligence compensation claim, as it can vary quite dramatically from case to case. There is a strict legal process that must be adhered to and many cases are settled before they reach court, meaning that a claim could take anywhere from a few weeks to several months, depending on how your dentist responds to the claim and other aspects of the legal process, such as evidence gathering and gaining expert opinions.
