Dental problems and tooth loss can happen for any number of reasons. Age may simply cause tooth decay, or you may have had procedures done and an adverse reaction afterward. Poorly fitted braces could force teeth to become even more crooked, or wisdom tooth removal surgery could go wrong. Regardless of the reasoning, you may need dental implants, which allow new teeth to be placed in your mouth. They do not function like dentures, which are easily removed; instead, dental implants are surgically inserted into the jaw to hold new teeth in place. Entire rows of teeth can be replaced in this manner. However, a dentist may not always properly complete the procedure, and you may be severely harmed in the process. To speak with a dental implant malpractice attorney, contact the Downtown LA Law Firm in Los Angeles. We will help you sue the dentist’s office for malpractice.
Although many individuals are content with using dentures for the rest of their lives, some elect to go the less traditional route to get implants. The implants consist of screws that are primarily made of titanium and can fuse to the bone, making functionality and appearance high quality. A dentist can perform the procedure at his office; other dentists will refer patients out to other locations, whether dentist’s offices or oral surgeon facilities. Recently, there have been strides in dental medicine. One of the most successful methods is “all-on-four” surgery, which involves placing 4 screws in the mouth to lock the implants in place. However, there have been problems listed with these types of procedures.
There are many ways that malpractice can o cur concerning dental implants. Before a procedure even happens, the dentist has a responsibility to his patients to X-ray them, provide a diagnosis, and conduct an examination. Failure to make a diagnosis, or wrongfully diagnosing a patient, can be cause for a dental malpractice claim. For example, your dentist may tell you that there is no need to remove your tooth because of a wisdom tooth issue, only to go ahead and so anyway. He may say that you require implants and will pull remaining teeth to put them in. Other causes of dental implant malpractice include:
As such, you could suffer severe injuries to your face (especially the nerves on your cheeks), lips, gums, teeth, throat, mouth, tongue, and more. Dental implants should not be a cause of concern; they should be easily added and dentists should have no problem with the procedure. Mistakes and oversights can lead to lifelong damage and extensive pain, and you deserve fair compensation if you are injured by a dentist during implant surgery.

In order to file a dental malpractice lawsuit for injuries sustained from dental implants, you must be able to show a few points of negligence. These points are as follows:
These points of negligence can lay the groundwork for your lawsuit. You may not find it easy or possible to prove all of these points by yourself; the dentist’s office will likely have an insurance agent who is willing to dispute each and every point. It is much more beneficial if you have a skilled lawyer on your side who can handle your claim for you.
As with all personal injury lawsuits, it is crucial that you collect as much evidence as possible to present to the insurance company to receive compensation for your damages. You will benefit from having too much evidence more than you would from not enough, so even if something seems like it may be inconsequential, include it. First, you should have photos or videos of your injuries. These can be taken by you or by a doctor. The photos will show how severely you were hurt and can also show what the dentist did that was wrong or negligent. You should go to the doctor to get any damages fixed. You may need surgery, antibiotics for an infection, or an evaluation to deal with nerve damage. It is important that you do not return to the dentist or oral surgeon who harmed you in the first place, as you may suffer additional damage. Once any treatments have been done, hold on to the medical records and doctor’s notes. You can also keep a copy of your receipt and expenses from this visit.

Puede take down witness statements and testimonies from people who saw the damages or could attest to the malpractice. Although you may not be able to get any help from the assistants at the office, you may be able to talk to other patients. Of course, you could take records from anyone else who saw the results as well. It is wise to hold on to the proof of the procedures, which would be in the form of dental records and insurance records. You can show that a dental implant procedure went wrong or was improperly carried out. Of course, all of this evidence can be submitted to the insurance agency at once, but it might be outright rejected. This is why it is crucial that you hire a qualified dental malpractice attorney who can negotiate a fair settlement for you and who won’t back down. You likely won’t have experience in the legal field and you may not find it easy or possible to get a worthwhile deal from the insurance agent. A lawyer can ensure that you are properly covered.
You have a certain amount of time to take legal action if you were injured from receiving dental implants. A lawsuit must be filed within 1 year of the discovery of the injury, or within 3 years of the injury itself. Essentially, if you know that you are injured, you have 1 year to take action. If something took a long time to manifest, such as decay or disease, you have 3 years to file a lawsuit. You may be able to have this time limit extended, though, if circumstances permit it and if your lawyer can prove that you were eligible. For instance, if you were hurt due to dental malpractice when you were under the age of 18, the statute of limitations would n ot begin counting down until you turned legal age. Also, if the dentist fled the state and tried to wait out the statute, the deadline would be extended to match the date he returned.
It is important that you pursue a claim as quickly as possible. It will remove the stress of deadlines and will allow your attorney to have ample time to assemble your evidence and submit it to the insurance agency.
