32.5K for Dental Law Partnership Client with Failed Implants

Oct. 7, 2013 - PRLog -- The client, a 77 year old man from the South East, received £32,500 in an out of court settlement for the failed implants, despite the fact that his dentist denied any liability.

He had originally visited his dentist, an implant specialist, in 1996. The victim of an attack, he had suffered damage to his teeth and required dental implants. A year later additional implants were fitted and the original implant screws were tightened and refitted.

Over subsequent years, the patient returned to his dentist on a number of occasions to receive regular scale and polishes, with the belief that his implants were fine. But in 2001, the man began to experience problems, which required new bolts and a refitted bridge.

Some seven years later, the patient was informed by another dentist that his teeth were in a poor condition and he was suffering from bone loss. This new dentist removed the implants, and fitted a denture as a result; but the denture was also unsatisfactory and did not fit the patient’s mouth properly.

He found it impossible to use the denture and experienced speech problems, difficulty in eating and embarrassment in living with the condition.

Thankfully, the Dental Law Partnership were happy to take the case and fight for the dental compensation that the client deserved. The case was settled out of court and the patient will use the sum to undergo corrective treatment to restore his dental health.
