Question by honesty_counts: My dentist did a botched up job, charged me 50, and I’m in pain! Should I sue or demand my money back?
My dentist has done one bad thing after another and I’m just sick of it, I’m going to another dentist, but that last job has taken the cake, and I want to know if I can take him to small claims court or not?

First of all, a few months ago he installed a crown that was visibly backwards! Normally the bottom molars (teeth) are supposed to have their inside edges slightly lower than the outward edges, but this crown had the inside edge dramatically higher than the outside. I complained and he told me that it is normal for teeth to be like that ! I demanded it be fixed and he just “ground down” the inside edge of that ceramic surface and told me “it is fixed”. I didn’t like it, it still was not good, but I thought that it was a fluke.

Then he did an implant and it was perfect. For the next implant, on the exact opposite side tooth, his associate insisted on inserting a “bone graft” into the hole, something that my first implant did not have done to it. Well, unfortunately for me the bone graft was totally “ABSORBED” back into the body and with it the surrounding bone was “sucked-in” as well, leaving almost no bone left to install the implant screw. The associate inserted a very small implant screw (much smaller than the implant screw on the other side) way in towards the inside edge of the small bone left. I have not yet had the ceramic tooth created yet for that screw. That screw is located so much closer towards my tongue than the other teeth that if I do have a ceramic cap installed it will have to be “cantilevered” off the screw and it will be very unusual feeling AND not normal looking at all ! I know that the absorption of the bone graft caused this problems because the other side has had no problems at all and it was EXACTLY the same bone structure as this side, and no bone graft was used and no problems came about when it was done, but he totally denies this and says that bone grafts don’t cause such problems and that is was my “faulty bone structure” that caused the problem.

Can I sue him and make him re-do it properly, or go to another implant specialist and sue to have the charges of the first dentist reversed ?

Now, it is Monday, and last Thursday another associate of that dental office did 6 fillings between the teeth and when the freezing wore off I was in extreme pain !!! The fillings were made way too deep, and now I will need 4 root canals on top of the $ 1,250 fee that I was charged for those improper fillings!
And of those fillings; two of them extended up to the top of the teeth and he installed some sort of “wings” to my teeth and they are horrible, I want them removed as they feel just weird ! I want the fillings either re-done or ground down, but I am not sure how that can be done, and I will probably be charged another few hundred dollars for that work too!

I want to have normal crowns, normal implants, and normal fillings, not the botched up garbage that I have been given, so what is your suggestions?

I was thinking of going to another dentist who can fix the problems and then go to a lawyer and then sue for re-reimbursement of the repair costs, is this a good idea?

I live in Canada and suing like this is not as common as it is in America.

Answer by Jared
I would not sue — or attempt.

For the crown that you claim was backwards, he claims was/is not –

When seating a crown it is more than common to ‘grind’ sections of them down to create a proper fit with the opposing tooth(teeth).

For the implant that had a bone graft inserted to encourage bone stability and structure — (to basically prevent and encourage the opposite of what occurred). — This was the professional opinion of the dentist(s) at hand here — and the fact that your body absorbed the graft and the bone further deteriorated around the socket is something that is unique to you and your body. In other words this will be seen , not as something improperly done, but an unfortunate result of your body in response to the tooth being gone from the socket. An unfortunate complication.

This will be again, your non medically educated word against theirs on your theory of what occurred and why. I am not against you here,.. but a bone graft will not cause existing bone to deteriorate or as you say (be sucked in) at any different rate than if the graft was never placed in the area.

It isn’t necessarily faulty bone structure here — just your bodies response at the time to the trauma, missing tooth in the socket, and so forth. Typically bone loss isn’t as dramatic, but depending on MANY factors — including stress, age, smoker or non smoker, diet, health, personal hygiene, calcium and other mineral serum levels, etc — your bones will act in very different ways from one year to the next. You could have had the exact same procedure done to that socket/area of the jaw in 5 years and it could have not deteriorated.. just given a different environment to work with.

The fillings — You say they were ‘between teeth’ — I can only assume you needed 6 fillings due to decay (as anything else would be a composite bonding agent to cover gaps, etc.. which would fall under cosmetic dentistry).

So with this assumption, you had quite a bit of decay existing — which means it wasn’t brand new. It had been there for some time.

Dental procedure for cavities are to drill out all existing decay — which if you claim they were too deep meant you had considerable decay, and decay that went well into the tooth pulp. Given that you were in such intense pain, they were ‘deep’ — it makes logical sense that what occurred here was you had fillings performed on 6 teeth (or between) that most of which were decayed into the nerve tissue — hence the extreme pain after , and them being too ‘deep’.

The nerves of teeth aren’t just at the very bottom where you would think of a root canal — but start in the lower center of a tooth. So a root canal is necessary well before decay reaches the actual typical ‘canals’ you see on a post-op tooth from an endodontist.

Your issues I can break down into the following:

1) Dissatisfaction with permanent crown seating/adjustment. (Overall)

2) Dissatisfaction with the result of jaw implant.

3) Dissatisfaction with 6 dental fillings.

1) — There isn’t any argument here — you will need to leave it as is.

2) — There is little ground for a winnable argument here, and the end result is with any implantation it is ultimately limited by the patients ability to sustain proper bone structure. Implants are NEVER guaranteed to work. EVER! While the risk is relatively low that bone structure will deteriorate to a degree that an implant fails,.. it does happen — the dentist or surgeon cannot control (at this time) what our jaws do in response to a tooth no longer being in the socket.

It sounds like you can still have the implant work, but some alternative techniques will need to be utilized for it to work.

Again here, you don’t have any argument that will result in the LAW returning your money — but I would cut my losses and have remaining work done at another dentist. More on this later.

3) Your fillings — I could tell exactly if you had xrays handy you could scan and I could take a look at. However, it is likely you had decay that was obviously in the area of the nerve of the tooth which should have been FIRST directed to be a root canal. Not a filling then a root canal. Certainly not 6 fillings, 4 of them resulting in root canal.. immediately.

In this case, the dentist should compensate. After the fact you would still have a difficult time ‘sueing’ but the dentist should know of your dissatisfaction in the matter and the money you’ve spent thus far.

As a result I would do the following:

Get a refund for the entire 6 fillings — based on your ultimate pain and dissatisfaction but also on the premise that a filling was done in multiple areas where a root canal should have been performed instead. IE: The filling was unnecessarily done in at least 4 of the areas due to decay being too deep.

It IS possible the dentist is SO incompetent that he drilled too far into healthy tooth structure FOUR times that resulted in nerve irritation and thus a root canal now being necessary due to the damage. It could even be conceived that this dental practice purposely does these things for money.. to obtain the money from fillings and then knowingly obtain money from now needing root canals. This is hard to prove AFTER THE FACT.

If you have x-ray images of your teeth just prior to these fillings. XRAYS are always done before fillings or root canals. So they took them. (If they did not, you should have left immediately before any work was done.) –

My point here is that you should request your records, including all xrays — (without acting upset or with any intention other than you need them for your own personal records (insert story of relative from hurricane Katrina that had a difficult time because all her medical or dental records were unrecovered) ) — Also, these records are yours by law. They must provide copies,.. and they can charge and probably will.. but only a nominal fee — nothing extravagent. A dollar a page is a bit much, but can be charged — but they can’t charge you hundreds of dollars for your records.

When you get these records — take them to another dentist, endodontist, or oral surgeon (based on what you are trying to determine) — A good solid dentist with lots of experience will be sufficient for most cases. **Which is another thing, find another dentist that comes highly recommended .. you are obviously at a dentist you cannot trust and is, at least, not fully competent in all he/she does.**.

At this ‘other dentist’ — discuss all that has been done,.. and the only thing I can see you getting any immediate effect from is the fillings and resulting needed ‘root canals’.

Have them look at the prior XRAYS of the teeth that had the 6 fillings — Then that dentist can take new xrays to determine the amount of drilling and filling done for comparison. It will be VERY easy to determine if malpractice or incompetence was at play here. If so, the dentist will be on YOUR side and give you all the evidence and wording you need to say to at very minimum have all the money refunded for the 6 fillings.. and if it is bad enough evidence (medical evidence) of how to approach it legally.

But I see this as you not getting any compensation for anything but the fillings and whatever else was done to those teeth — When you get this –

Take that money and RUN!

From here — do the following:

For your Crown you are not happy with — just have your new dentist look at it, and judge and take care of it. That should be no problem.

For your fillings — I already discussed.

Here is the catch: — Start having your work done by the most qualified individual for it. Find a dentist who is capable of doing these things but works in such a way where he does general cosmetic, cavity fillings, crowns, implant seatings, cleanings, whitening, and other such general dentistry and cosmetic dentistry — His niche.. what he is best at. A dentist that specifically does this on his own, and refers ALL root canals to specific endodontists he prefers and refers teeth extractions, impacted teeth extractions, implants, and other such ‘surgical procedures’ to Oral surgeons.

This usually results in the best overall result. An endodontist is a dentist who has specialized in the root canal procedure — so does this all day long, and will do the best job.

An oral and maxiofacial surgeon (Oral Surgeon) will be one who specializes in therapeutic and cosmetic surgery — specifically tooth extractions, and implants in your case. They will do the best job here due to their specialization (these will usually have a medical degree as well).

I am always weary of general dentists who undertake the roles of oral surgeons — It is somewhat common for dentists to extract teeth and even perform root canals — but to perform implants is going a bit far. These things are best served by the resulting specialists.

Legally I don’t think you have much ground to stand on,.. as it is your word vs a professional.. especially in dentistry — it is hard to prove. If your records were ever ‘lost’ somehow it would be next to impossible to prove any wrong doing. This is why obtaining your entire records (copies) is crucial.. before they have any idea you are up to anything.

Then having these records examined based on your problems by a qualified Dentist or specialist to see where you stand on what you can and cannot pursue in terms of monetary reimbursement and possible lawsuit for malpractice.

Zirconium dental implants – At discounted benefits for Nigerian Patients

Zirconium dental implant in India is offered by Indian Healthguru Group at discounted cost to Nigerian patients. The dental implant is done by the experienced dentists in cities like Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore and Delhi. Nigerians patients have to visit abroad as there are no reliable and advanced medical facilities available in Nigeria. Nigerians prefer India for medical treatment as they get the best services at an affordable cost which is much lower than that in any other country. Post medical treatment the patient can opt for longer stay to visit different tourist places and can change medical tour into a holiday tour. Nigerian patients prefer India for zirconium dental implant as it is cost effective and reliable.

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that a dentist places into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason. While high-tech in nature, dental implants are actually more tooth-saving than traditional bridgework, since implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support. Zirconium dental implant in India will be the best option for the dental implant.

Purpose of zirconium dental implant

 

The Zirconium dental implants are made of special ceramic (Zirconium oxide, ZrO2) that is used in the spaceships because of its high resistance to fracture and heat. This ceramic dental implant gives great advantages to the patients. It is no longer necessary to implant Titanium or any other metal in order to have fixed teeth. Zirconium dental implant is the holistic dental implant for absolute metal-free dentistry. The white color of Zirconium substitutes the metallic appearance of Titanium. The dark line around the gum disappears. Ceramic implants and crowns retain less plaque and calculus than Titanium, therefore promoting healthier gums.

Types of dental implant

Endosteal (in the bone): This is the most commonly used type of implant. The various types include screws, cylinders or blades surgically placed into the jawbone. Each implant holds one or more prosthetic teeth. This type of implant is generally used as an alternative for patients with bridges or removable dentures.

Subperiosteal (on the bone): These are placed on top of the jaw with the metal framework’s posts protruding through the gum to hold the prosthesis. These types of implants are used for patients who are unable to wear conventional dentures and who have minimal bone height.

 

Procedure of Zirconium dental implant in India

Zirconium dental implant in India dentist gives some form of anesthesia for pain control during surgery. Anesthesia options include local anesthesia, sedation or general anesthesia. Talk to your dental specialist about which option is best for you. Dental care team gives you specific instructions about eating and drinking before surgery, depending on what type of anesthesia you have. For instance, if you’re having general anesthesia, plan to have someone take you home after surgery and expect to rest for the remainder of the day. During zirconium dental implant in India, your gum is cut open to expose the bone. Holes are then drilled into the bone where the dental implant cylinder will be placed. Since the cylinder will serve as the tooth root, it’s implanted deep into the bone. Once the dental implant is securely in place, your gums are stitched closed over the cylinder. The cylinder sits below the surface of your gum, so it’s not visible when you open your mouth. Zirconium tooth is permanently screwed or cemented onto an individual implant abutment. If affordability isn’t a concern, you can opt to replace several missing teeth this way.

Benefits of zirconium dental implant

The Zirconium dental implant has all the required qualities to be a material of choice for dental implantation. These qualities are comparable to Titanium: Zirconium is an inert material with very low allergic potential. The flexural strength of the Zirconium dental implant is close to 1200 MPa. Zirconium implants have proven high level of Osseo integration and bone-to-implant contact, confirmed in numerous studies in Germany and USA. Dental implants are possibly the most effective choice for resolving tooth challenges and allowing individuals to feel confident about them and to show it. Many people find that zirconium dental implants are more comfortable, efficient and secure than are dentures or bridgework.

 

Recovery post surgery

After zirconium dental implant in India very rarely, stiffness of your jaw muscles may occur, or an inability to fully open your mouth. When these do occur, they’re usually a result of passing a surgical needle through jaw muscle. If swelling, discomfort or any other problem gets worse in the days after surgery, contact your implant surgeon who may prescribe pain medication or antibiotics. After each stage of surgery, you may need to eat soft foods for 5 to 7 days. Typically, stitches/sutures that dissolve on their own are used. If your stitches aren’t self-dissolving, your doctor removes them after about 10 days.

Why India?

India has become the primary destination for patients from Nigeria for zirconium dental implant as it is cost effective with positive results. Zirconium dental implant in India is done at the best dental hospitals with state of the art technology under highly qualified dentists. The cost of zirconium dental implant in India is almost one fourth of the cost in U.K, U.S and other developed countries. India is popular for its cultural and regional variation and has the most amazing tourist places to visit. Post treatment the patient can visit the tourist places for better recovery. Indian Healthguru Group will take care of all the arrangement for the patient like traveling, accommodation, appointment for a hassle free medical tour. The patients who don’t have medical insurance are more benefited as it costs very less in India in comparison with the developed countries.

Dental implants are artificial tooth replacements used to counter tooth loss. The procedure is categorized as a form of prosthetic (artificial replacement) dentistry, though it also falls into the category of cosmetic dentistry as well.

Although you have a number of restorative options for the treatment of missing teeth, none have proven to be as functionally effective and durable as implants. In many cases, dental implants may be the only logical choice for the restoration of all necessary functionality of the teeth and supporting structures.
Tooth Loss

Teeth are lost because of:

* Tooth decay
* Root canal failure
* Gum disease (Periodontitis)
* Trauma to the mouth
* Excessive wear and tear
* Congenital defects

People who have lost teeth might feel too self-conscious to smile or talk. Additionally, biting irregularities caused by tooth loss can have a negative effect on eating habits and this can lead to secondary health problems like malnutrition. Regardless of the nature of problems related to tooth loss, dental implants may provide a simple remedy with proven results.
Advantages of Implant Dentistry

Dental implants are stronger and more durable than their restorative counterparts (bridges and dentures). Implants offer a permanent solution to tooth loss. Additionally, implants may be used in conjunction with other restorative procedures for maximum effectiveness. For example, a single implant can serve to support a dental crown replacing a single missing tooth. Implants can also be used to support a dental bridge for the replacement of multiple missing teeth, and can be used with dentures to increase stability and reduce gum tissue irritation.

Procedural advancements, including the development of narrower â€Ŕmini†implants, mean that more people than ever before are finding themselves candidates for implantation. However, candidacy for implantation still varies, meaning that your dentist may determine that you should opt for an alternative restoration. Keep in mind, too, that dentists do not need a specific license by law in order to perform implant dentistry. A general or restorative dentist may perform the crown and bridge placement that is associated with implant restoration. However, prosthodontists are the specialists who often complete this crucial procedure.

Periodontists and oral surgeons perform the implant surgical procedure itself.
The Dental Implant Procedure

Today’s dental implants are virtually indistinguishable from other teeth. This appearance is aided in part by the structural and functional connection between the dental implant and the living bone. Implants are typically placed in a single sitting but require a period of osseointegration.

Osseointegration is the process by which direct anchorage of a dental implant root and the bone of the jaw occurs. Osseointegrated implants are the most commonly used and successful type of dental implant. An osseointegrated implant takes anywhere from three to six months to anchor and heal, at which point your dentist can complete the procedure with the placement of a crown. Once the implant has anchored with the jawbone, artificial prosthesis may be attached and the process is done. If osseointegration does not occur, the implant will fail.

Detailed procedural steps are as follows:

Preparing the Jaw for Implantation: A dental implant is commonly composed of a titanium material screw and a crown. A small-diameter hole (pilot hole) is drilled at edentulous (where there is no tooth) jaw sites in order to guide the titanium screw that holds a dental implant in place. To avoid damaging vital jaw and face structures like the inferior alveolar nerve in the mandible (lower jaw), a dentist must use great skill and expertise when boring the pilot hole and sizing the jaw bone.

Placement of the Implant: After the initial pilot hole has been drilled into the appropriate jaw site, it is slowly widened to allow for placement of the implant screw. Following this placement, a protective cover screw is placed on top to allow the implant site to heal and the dental implant to anchor (osseointegration). After several months, the protective cover is removed and a temporary crown is placed on top of the dental implant. The temporary crown serves as a template around which the gum grows and shapes itself in a natural way. The process is completed when the temporary crown is replaced with a permanent crown.
Success Rates of Dental Implants

Dental implants are among the most successful procedures in dentistry. There is no guarantee that an implant procedure will be successful, but studies have shown a five-year success rate of 95 percent for lower jaw implants and 90 percent for upper jaw implants. The success rate for upper jaw implants is slightly lower because the upper jaw (especially the posterior section) is less dense than the lower jaw, making successful implantation and osseointegration potentially more difficult to achieve. Lower posterior implantation has the highest success rate for all dental implants.

Dental implants may fail for a number of reasons. The cause is often related to a failure in the osseointegration process. For example, if the implant is placed in a poor position, osseointegration may not take place. Dental implants may break or become infected (like natural teeth) and crowns may become loose.

If you are a smoker who is considering a dental implant, your dentist will likely advise you to give up smoking before undergoing the process because smokers face a higher risk of implant failure. Since the procedure can be extremely expensive, you risk wasting your money on dental implants if you do not give up the habit.

On the plus side, dental implants are not susceptible to the formation of cavities; still, poor oral hygiene can lead to the development of peri-implantitis around dental implants. This disease is tantamount to the development of periodontitis (severe gum disease) around a natural tooth.
Implant Dentistry: New Procedural Strategies

find a local dentistDentists trained to perform implants, crowns and/or surgery have begun to use a new strategy for the replacement of missing teeth. Dental implants are placed into locations where teeth have recently been extracted. When successful, this new strategy can shed months off of the treatment time associated with dental implants because osseointegration is sped up. Candidacy for this type of early intervention is dependent upon anatomical factors of the extracted tooth site. For example, in many cases the extracted tooth site is wider than the implant, making it impossible to place the implant into the site immediately after extraction. Dental work would have to be performed first in order to create a perfect fit for the implant.

Another strategy for implant placement within narrow spaces is the incorporation of the mini-implant. Mini-implants may be used for small teeth and incisors.
