Have You Been Harmed by a Cosmetic Dental Procedure?

Unfortunately, though aesthetic dentistry has made a great many people happier with their general appearance and their smiles, too many patients come away from such procedures in physical pain and emotional distress. In New York, patients who have undergone such traumas often turn to Lance Ehrenberg, Esq. for first-rate legal representation. 

Lance is an accomplished dental malpractice attorney with an impressive record of successful outcomes both in and out of the courtroom. He is known to be compassionate as well as talented and will work hard to bring you the maximum compensation you deserve. More than that, he works on a contingency basis and will charge you no attorney’s fee until he recovers appropriate damages. 

Not Every Case of Dissatisfaction With a Cosmetic Dental Procedure Is Winnable

Nonetheless, in a high number of cases, the failure of cosmetic dental procedures, not only in terms of not achieving their goals but in terms of resulting in serious medical issues, is caused by the negligence or ineptitude of the dentist. 

The first thing to do if you believe you have been mistreated by a cosmetic dentist is to get in touch with Lance Ehrenberg for a free consultation. He knows all the right questions to ask to determine whether or not you have a viable malpractice claim.

How to Protect Yourself From Incompetence and Errors

A major mistake made by many patients who come to us after the fact is accepting the offer of their regular dentist to provide aesthetic services. This is yet another case of “buyer beware.” Unless dentists are primarily cosmetic dentists, they may not have the knowledge, training or extensive experience necessary to produce optimal results. It is important to seek a cosmetic dentist with excellent credentials and a history of satisfied patients if you are planning to invest in a cosmetic procedure.
