Failing to treatment plan

Failing to treatment plan the patient prior to beginning treatment can lead to unnecessary treatment, over treatment and surgical injuries. The use of CT scans for dental implant placement is standard of care and can prevent implant penetration into the inferior alveolar nerve or the maxillary sinus or floor of the nose. Documentation of the dentist’s review of the scan is also standard of care.

Request Initial Consultation

No dental care should result in injury to the patient.

Dental injuries, whether from inadequate doctor or staff training, or negligent care, can result in loss of teeth, loss of bone of the jaws, permanent nerve damage, infection, hospitalization, brain damage and death.
