Key Elements of a Successful Dental Malpractice Case
To build a strong case, there are three critical aspects we must establish:
- Negligence: Did the dentist make an error that no competent dentist would have made under similar circumstances?
- Causation: Did this mistake directly cause the harm you experienced, without any intervening factors?
- Damages: Is the potential recovery sufficient to justify the costs of pursuing a lawsuit?

“John and his staff were patient, informative, professional, proactive and followed up. John personally visited me in the hospital…”– Robin P.
A Mistake Alone Isn’t Enough
It’s crucial to distinguish between unfortunate outcomes and genuine malpractice. Sometimes, a dentist’s mistake might not significantly alter your treatment needs, or a negative outcome might occur despite the dentist’s adherence to professional standards. These scenarios typically do not constitute malpractice.
Evaluating the Impact of Your Injury
The financial implications of a dental malpractice case can be substantial. Expert testimonies, court costs, and legal fees often exceed $20,000. Therefore, the potential compensation must be significant enough to cover these expenses and still benefit you and your family.
Examples of Viable Dental Malpractice Cases
Some examples of malpractice cases that are worth pursuing include:
- Bone damage requiring extensive corrective surgery due to a dentist’s oversight.
- Neglected infections leading to prolonged hospital stays that could have been avoided.
- Inadequate dental work that necessitates costly repairs, such as veneers or caps that have gone wrong.
- Permanent nerve damage or severe injury during routine procedures.
- Unnecessary treatments performed for financial gain, especially in children.
If you’ve experienced any of these, it’s imperative to reach out to Polewski & Associates promptly to discuss your legal options.
Preparing for Your Consultation
When contacting us for a case review, clarity on two points will facilitate a more productive discussion. We aim to:
- Identify the specific error you believe the dentist made.
- Explain how this error led to harm or expenses that were otherwise avoidable.
Additionally, if you’ve sought corrective treatment from another dentist, understanding their perspective on your case can be invaluable.
