Restorative dental work is meant to bring back a smile to your face, so it’s painful and upsetting when it goes wrong.
Many people do not relish the prospect of dental treatment and restorative work is no exception.
The aim is to improve or restore teeth to a healthy and visually appealing state. If that goes wrong, due to substandard dental work, or a lack of due care, then you may have a claim for dental negligence.
Restorative dentistry – also referred to as prosthodontic dentistry – is the treatment of diseases of the mouth, teeth and supporting structures.
Restorative dental work includes:
Negligence, or care that is below standard, can result in pain, infection, distress and the need for further dental surgery. In addition to this, you may need to take time off work to recover, as well as have the problems fixed.
Dental negligence compensation could allow you the time you need to recover, while easing the financial worries of time off work. It can help pay for treatment, travel to appointments and loss of wages.
Our medical law specialists know the ins and outs of making claims like these. They will do all the leg work to help you build a case and achieve maximum compensation, with the minimum of fuss.
We may also offer a No Win No Fee service (not applicable in Scotland or Northern Ireland for medical negligence).
Only pay a fee if you receive compensation
Where we offer No Win No Fee services typically customers pay 25%* of the amount recovered by our solicitors, although this will be subject to your individual circumstances and the actual fee may be less than this. Success fees are common practice and they were introduced when the law changed in April 2013.

*Excluding Road Traffic Accident related claims where the accident happened on or after 31st May 2021. Here customers you will typically pay 30% + VAT due to changes introduced through Civil Liability Act 2018.
Amounts of restorative dentistry compensation really depend on your individual circumstances – what happened, the recovery time and any ongoing effects (both physical and financial) to you.
There is usually a three-year period, from the date you became aware of the dental negligence.
