Dental Implant Injury Lawyer
Restoring your smile through dental implants should be a rewarding experience, giving you back functional teeth and a complete smile. However, when the procedure is done incorrectly or without the proper techniques, it can end in disaster. If you have sustained injuries from a dental implant procedure, you may be a victim of dental malpractice.
Dental implants are the best alternative to natural teeth, providing prosthetic teeth to replace those that have been lost. Dentists that perform this procedure often promise a new smile and improved function, but that is not always the case. If performed incorrectly, significant injury can occur that can cause extreme pain, nerve damage, dangerous infection and structural irregularities in the jaw. Not only does the dental implant usually need to be removed, it can leave the victim with ongoing dental and medical issues.
Injuries Caused by Negligent Dental Implant Surgeries
The promise of a new smile with dental implants that ends in countless repairs and additional procedures can be attributed to negligence on the part of the dental practice. Dental implant surgery requires precision and expertise to avoid complications. While any surgery does have risks, when the injuries are the result of careless techniques or preparation by the dentist, it can be a case of dental malpractice or negligence. Some of the injuries that can occur from improperly performed dental implant surgery include:
- Misalignment of the teeth
- TMJ
- Extensive pain and discomfort
- Ongoing repairs and expenses
- Infection
- Nerve damage
- Jaw bone disfigurement
