Pittsburgh Dental Malpractice Lawyers

Protecting Patients Harmed by Careless Dental Procedures

Most of us go to the dentist expecting relief from pain or to maintain a healthier smile. But when a dentist, oral surgeon, or dental specialist takes shortcuts or makes a severe mistake, the results can cause intense pain, permanent facial numbness, severe infections, or costly reconstructive procedures.

If you suspect that a dental procedure went wrong because your provider was reckless or careless, you do not have to figure it out on your own. AMG Law helps patients across Western Pennsylvania and Northern West Virginia determine if a bad dental outcome was actually caused by medical negligence, and we hold careless dental providers accountable.

How We Help Injured Clients In & Around Pittsburgh

When dental mistakes cause severe harm, insurance providers and clinic lawyers often dismiss it as a “standard risk.” You deserve better. 

AMG Law is here to listen to your concerns, clarify malpractice where it has occurred, and manage all aspects of any claims so you can focus entirely on healing.

• Investigating your dental history: We gather and examine all your dental records, treatment plans, X-rays, 3D scans, and emergency room visits to see what went wrong.
• Having independent experts review your care: We work with respected dental specialists who review your charts to confirm whether your dentist broke safety rules and standard care practices.
• Building a case for corrective care costs: We calculate the full price tag of all future surgeries, implants, or specialist visits you will need to fix the damage.
• Dealing with insurance adjusters: We handle all communication with insurance companies so you are not pressured into accepting a low payout that does not cover your recovery.

Types of Dental Malpractice Cases We Handle

Dental errors can range from minor mistakes to life-altering nerve injuries. We represent patients in cases involving the following. 

• Nerve damage to the tongue, lip, or jaw: Mistakes made during wisdom tooth extractions or root canals that sever nerves, leaving you with permanent numbness, tingling, or loss of taste.
• Oral surgery and extraction mistakes: Extracting the wrong tooth, fracturing the jawbone during a tooth removal, or leaving broken dental drill bits inside the jaw or gums.
• Failed implants and bridge errors: Implants placed incorrectly into nerve pathways or sinus cavities, leading to chronic severe pain, bone loss, or deep infections.
• Severe, uncontrolled infections: Failing to notice, diagnose, or treat serious mouth infections that spread to the neck, bloodstream, or heart.
• Misuse of anesthesia or sedation: Administering too much sedation during oral surgery, leading to oxygen loss, heart issues, or brain trauma.
• Failure to detect oral cancer: Ignoring visible sores, lumps, or abnormal lesions in the mouth during routine checkups, allowing cancer to spread unchecked.
