Patients trust dentists and other dental professionals to provide competent care and to recognize and address complications when they arise. When dental treatment falls below the appropriate standard of care, the consequences can include significant pain, permanent injury, additional procedures, disfigurement, and substantial financial costs. Peck Baxter represents patients who have suffered serious injuries as a result of negligent dental care.

Our attorneys handle claims involving surgical and extraction errors, nerve injuries, implant complications, anesthesia and medication errors, failure to diagnose or treat infections and other conditions, unnecessary procedures, and other forms of dental negligence. We work with qualified dental and medical experts when appropriate to evaluate the treatment provided, determine whether the applicable standard of care was breached, and understand the extent of the resulting harm.

Dental malpractice claims require careful analysis of both the medical evidence and the applicable law. Peck Baxter guides clients through that process, deals with insurers and defense counsel on their behalf, and pursues compensation for the physical, financial, and other consequences of negligent dental treatment.
