Naomi Todd of the Dental Negligence Team acted for a 39 year old woman who received £50,000, following substandard cosmetic dentistry. The Claimant attended her dentist for help with her overcrowded and stained teeth and received veneers and bridgework, which was unsatisfactory.

The Claimant suffered from sensitive teeth and had to have all the veneers and bridge work removed, whilst she underwent treatment for periodontal disease and root canal treatment. The Claimant required further cosmetic dentistry and is likely to need implants in the future.
