Dental Negligence Compensation 

Law Society Accredited  Personal Injury Solicitors

Helping you recover from mistakes made in the dentist’s chair

Dental treatment should improve your health and comfort—not leave you facing unnecessary pain, expense, or lasting damage. When dental professionals fail to meet the standards expected of them, the impact can be serious. Mistakes such as delayed treatment, misdiagnosis, or poorly performed restorative work can lead to avoidable pain, long-term injury, or even the loss of teeth.

At PSR Solicitors, our experienced medical negligence solicitors represent clients across England and Wales who have suffered due to negligent dental care. Whether the mistake was made by a dentist, dental hygienist, or another oral healthcare professional, we are here to offer clear legal advice and practical support.

We understand how distressing it can be to suffer harm during what should have been routine treatment—especially when it affects your appearance, confidence, or quality of life. That’s why we take the time to listen to your concerns, explain your legal options clearly, and guide you through the claims process with care and professionalism.

To speak with one of our specialists in confidence, call 0800 020 9167 or complete the enquiry form on this page for a free initial consultation.

I found PSR solicitors very help full and professional in their handling of my claim and would recommend the firm to any one.

Kevin Fay 5 Star Google Rating

I’m incredibly grateful to all at PSR Solicitors. I was sceptical at first of the ‘No Win, No Fee’ basis simply due to never taking legal action before. However, I will have no hesitancy recommending you to other who find themselves in similar circumstances. I’m really pleased with the result.

Mr J Cheshire 5 Star Google Rating

Quality and professional service. My claim was dealt with very quickly and efficiently, would highly recommend.

Understanding Dental Negligence Claims

Dental negligence occurs when a dental professional fails to provide an acceptable standard of care, and that failure causes you harm. This could happen in an NHS or private setting, during a routine check-up, emergency procedure, or cosmetic treatment.

Common forms of dental negligence include, but are not limited to:

  • Delayed treatment, where infections, abscesses, or dental disease worsen due to inaction
  • Incorrect diagnosis, leading to ineffective or harmful treatment pathways
  • Nerve damage, often caused by poorly executed injections, drilling, or oral surgery
  • Restorative dental errors, such as poorly fitted crowns, bridges, veneers or implants
  • Extraction of the wrong tooth, or other unnecessary removals
  • Loss of tooth or teeth, resulting from avoidable clinical errors or mismanagement
  • Failure to gain proper consent, including inadequate explanation of treatment risks or options
  • Cosmetic dentistry errors, where aesthetic treatments lead to unsatisfactory or damaging outcomes
  • Failed root canal treatments, resulting in continued pain, infection, or re-treatment
  • Financial losses due to mistreatment, including the cost of corrective procedures, lost earnings, and additional care needs

In many cases, the harm caused can lead to potentially life-changing repercussions. These may include long-term pain, speech or eating difficulties, financial loss, or the need for expensive corrective work.

The Legal Basis for a Dental Negligence Claim

To bring a successful dental negligence claim, we must establish that the treatment you received fell below acceptable professional standards and that this failure caused you harm. In legal terms, this involves proving two key elements:

  • Breach of Duty – That the dental professional failed to provide the level of care that a reasonably competent practitioner would have delivered in the same circumstances.
  • Causation – That this breach of duty directly caused or significantly contributed to the injury, pain, financial loss, or avoidable treatment you experienced.

We work with independent dental and medical experts to assess your records and provide evidence on whether the treatment you received was negligent and avoidable. Where necessary, we also obtain reports on your prognosis and any future treatment you may need.

Dental professionals are regulated by the General Dental Council (GDC) and are legally required to meet professional standards and obtain proper consent for treatment. If these obligations are not met and harm results, you may be entitled to compensation.

What Can I Claim Compensation for?

Compensation following dental negligence is intended to put you in the position you would have been in if the negligence had not occurred. While money cannot undo the pain or inconvenience, it can provide financial security and access to further treatment.

A successful claim may include payment for:

  • Pain and suffering caused by the negligent or delayed treatment
  • Corrective dental procedures or private treatment
  • Loss of earnings if time off work was required
  • Future loss of earnings if your ability to work has been affected
  • Costs of psychological therapy or counselling
  • Dental implants, prosthetics or specialist aftercare
  • Travel expenses to and from dental appointments
  • Out-of-pocket costs and financial losses due to mistreatment

In appropriate cases, we will also advise on Personal Injury Trusts to help protect your compensation from affecting any means-tested benefits.

No Win, No Fee Dental Negligence Claims

At PSR Solicitors, we believe that financial concerns should never prevent you from seeking justice. That’s why we offer no win, no fee funding in most suitable cases.

This means you won’t need to pay any legal fees upfront, and if your claim is unsuccessful, you will not pay any legal costs. If your case succeeds, you will pay a success fee—which is a fixed percentage agreed in advance.

This funding model gives you peace of mind and allows you to focus on your recovery.

Your Dentyal Negligence questions answered

Yes. If informed consent wasn’t properly obtained or if the treatment was still negligent, you may be entitled to compensation.

You generally have three years from the date of the negligence or from when you first realised something had gone wrong. There are exceptions, so it's best to get legal advice as early as possible.

Not immediately. Once you instruct us, we will obtain all relevant dental and medical records on your behalf.
