Dental Malpractice Attorney in Santa Barbara

Seeking Justice for Injured Dental Patients

When you go to the dentist for an annual checkup or a procedure, like an extraction or root canal, you expect your health to be improved. After all, dentists are dedicated to maintaining your oral health through cleanings and surgeries. It’s only natural that you should trust your certified dentist to do their job well.

However, sometimes procedures can go horribly wrong due to negligence, leading to you leaving your appointment feeling worse than you did before. If you’ve been injured because of your dentist’s actions, The Law Office of Dean Schweitzer is available to help you file a personal injury claim.

As a dental malpractice lawyer in Santa Barbara, I’m dedicated to helping you recover the damages you’ve accrued because of your injuries. You shouldn’t have to pay for a dental professional’s mistakes.

Reach out and contact me online for your free consultation. No one should have to leave a dental appointment with injuries.

Types of Dental Malpractice Cases I’ve Handled

Past dental malpractice cases in California I have experience handling include:

  • Anesthesia errors
  • Infections and abscesses
  • Nerve damage
  • Root canals
  • Failed dental implants
  • Failed diagnoses and treatments
  • Extraction injuries
  • Defective bridges and crowns
  • Orthodontic failures
  • Wrongful death
  • TMJ pain and dysfunction caused by doctor

Symptoms of Failed Dental Procedures

Unfortunately, even routine dental practices can go wrong if your dentist or oral surgeon isn’t careful.

Dental accidents can result in minor to more serious injuries that include:

  • Nerve damage
  • Blood poisoning
  • Infections
  • Tooth loss
  • And more

Sometimes, a dentist’s failure to diagnose mouth cancers can be deadly for their patient.

How Our Dental Negligence Lawyer Can Help

Whether you were injured by a dentist, oral surgeon, or orthodontist, your injuries can quickly add up to costs that you may not be prepared to pay. Injuries can be expensive to treat and can also result in you losing your wages from having to miss days or weeks of work.

  • Determining whether your dentist breached their duty of care
  • Gathering expert witnesses to prove breach of care
  • Collecting evidence to support your claim
  • Filling out your legal paperwork
  • Helping you understand your options and moving the case forward, if necessary

You don’t want to pursue your case alone and risk the possibility of not being able to achieve the full amount of compensation you’re owed. A lawyer for dental malpractice with years of experience and demonstrated success with past clients can be trusted to make sure the negligent don’t evade liability for their actions.
