What Is a Dental Negligence Claim?
A dental negligence claim is the legal process of seeking compensation if you have suffered injury, pain, or financial loss due to substandard dental care. Mistakes by dentists, dental nurses, or hygienists in NHS or private practice can cause avoidable harm — from failed treatments and unnecessary extractions to long-term damage and trauma.
If you have experienced dental negligence in the last three years, LITKRAFT can help you claim compensation and secure the support you need for recovery and future care.
Who Can Make a Dental Negligence Claim?
You may be entitled to make a claim if you were:
• A patient who suffered injury or complications because of negligent dental care
• A parent making a claim on behalf of a child injured by dental negligence
• A family member bringing a claim after a loved one’s death caused by negligent dental treatment
• A representative acting for someone unable to bring a claim themselves

Types of Dental Negligence Claims We Handle
Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis
Failure to identify conditions such as oral cancer, gum disease, or infections can result in severe complications and delayed treatment.
Failed or Incorrect Treatment
Mistakes in fillings, root canals, implants, crowns, or orthodontic work can cause pain, infection, and the need for corrective treatment.
Unnecessary Extractions
Extracting healthy teeth by mistake or without proper consent can cause permanent damage and loss of function.
Cosmetic Dentistry Errors
Negligence in veneers, whitening, or cosmetic orthodontics may result in poor results, long-term harm, and emotional distress.
Anaesthetic and Medication Errors
Failing to administer anaesthetic safely, incorrect dosage, or prescribing the wrong medication can lead to serious injury or trauma.
Cross-Infection and Hygiene Failures
Poor sterilisation or hygiene in dental practices can cause infections and long-lasting health issues.
What You Can Claim Compensation For
• Physical pain, suffering, and loss of quality of life
• Psychological harm and loss of confidence
• Corrective treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing dental care
• Loss of income and reduced earning potential
• Care and support provided by family
• Travel expenses and other out-of-pocket costs
• Funeral expenses in fatal cases
How Much Compensation Could You Receive?
The amount depends on:
• Severity and long-term effects of the injury
• Medical and dental evidence provided by experts
• Financial losses, including lost earnings
• Cost of corrective or future treatment
• Impact on daily life and wellbeing
Solicitors use expert reports, financial records, and Judicial College Guidelines (JCG) to calculate a fair settlement reflecting the true impact of dental negligence on your life.

I am very impressed with the service provided. Thanks to LITKRAFT assistant I was able to prove my innocence. Third party was denying the damages suffered, but we never gave up, resulting in a settlement of compensation that I was really happy with.
If you had an accident – immediately call LITKRAFT. They are true professionals and it really shows, as they can tell you straight away if you have a case. When I had another accident I emailed all details to them and they called me back within 20 min.
Great company, fantastic staff who are just a phone call away to help. They were very patient in explaining every document received from solicitors or doctors. When we first started the claims process, the other party tried to deny liability, but LITKRAFT solicitor fought my case in court and won it. I was delighted with the process and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from LITKRAFT.
