Errors with Implants or Veneers

How do I know if I have a dental veneer claim?

What evidence is needed to claim compensation for a dental veneer error?

In pursuing a successful dental negligence claim, there are a number of useful evidence types that are required. The legal team here at Hampson Hughes offer a wealth of experience in advising our clients on the evidence that can help their claim. We will take the lead and gather evidence on behalf of our clients including both factual and expert evidence.

In claiming compensation for a dental implant or veneer negligence claim, the Claimant has a burden of proof to demonstrate that there has been a dental implant or dental veneer error which has caused injury and loss and that this was/is caused by the dental negligence. This is achieved by obtaining the best possible evidence in support of your claim including factual and expert evidence.  We will obtain such evidence needed in support of a dental implant claim on your behalf. Useful forms of evidence include:

Dental Records: whenever you receive dental treatment, it will be logged in your dental records. Should you suffer a dental implant error or dental veneer error, this should be documented. With the consent of our clients, we will obtain your medical records and review in detail in order to establish full details of the dental negligence.

Independent Dental Expert: a dental negligence claim can involve complex legal and medical details, so the expert assessment of an independent dental expert is essential. They can provide their expert opinion on treatment provided to you, most notably on whether any of the dental treatment was negligent. Here at Hampson Hughes, we arrange these assessments for our clients, at a time and location convenient to you.

Relevant Dental Journals: there are occasions when we make use of accredited dental journals to bring evidence of expected levels of dental care and where your dental veneer error or dental implant error fell short of these levels.

Is there a time limit on making a dental veneer claim?

In making a dental negligence claim in the UK, any individual is subject to set time limits, which at present are:

• three years from the day any dental negligence occurred
• in some cases, this may be extended to three years from the date when you first became aware of any negligence
• if the dental negligence happened before the age of 18, then three years from a Claimant’s 18th birthday (although before they reach 18, a trusted adult will be permitted to bring a claim on the minor’s behalf)
