I recently had $9000 worth of dental implants done on my mouth(2009). $9000 was what the insurance didn't pay. To make a long story short, I had a tooth that fell out that was NOT properly installed even though my dentist charged my insurance for. When I left a message for my dentist over the weekend, I was called by her office today, her receptionist became very irate with me started talking to me in a manner that I had never encountered as to I haven't been back there for any type of maintenance. NEVER mind the fact that my tooth was never correctly installed which could be verified by a dentist that I went to over the recent holiday. Which I have written statement on what was the right procedure. I would like to speak to someone to see what my rights are. I am still without my very front tooth. I am a business woman and feel like I am unable to be in front of clients because I feel mortified, I can't speak correctly with the lisp that I have to speak with. I have to speak with my hand covering my mouth to everyone. To be totally honest, I have nightmares of other teeth falling out of my jaw and I am afraid that it will fall causing me to choke and die in my sleep. I have never sued anyone or even obtain an attorney for any type of car accident, any dog bite or anything such as this. I need someone's advice.
To hold the dentist liable for malpractice another dentist needs to attest that your dentists work fell below the standard of care. If that does not fly, you may have a plain warranty claim. If you purchase implants, they should not fall out. You need to have the matter fixed ASAP as you have the duty to mitigate. You should not have any problem finding a personal injury attorney that will take your case on a contingency basis.
