When Dental Care in Weston Causes Unexpected Harm

Patients in Weston trust their local dentists and oral surgeons to provide safe, effective, and competent care. While most dental procedures are successful, preventable errors unfortunately do occur. When a dental professional’s actions in Weston fall below the accepted standard of care and result in significant injury, pain, or financial loss, it may constitute dental malpractice.

Dental negligence can transform a routine check-up or a necessary procedure into a painful and costly ordeal, impacting your ability to eat, speak, and live comfortably. If you believe a Weston dentist’s mistake has caused you serious harm, you have the right to seek answers and explore your legal options.

Lisa Levine, an experienced Weston dental malpractice lawyer, and her team at Lisa S. Levine, P.A., operating from our main office in Weston, are committed to holding negligent dental providers accountable and helping victims recover the compensation they need.

Establishing Dental Malpractice in a Weston Case

A negative outcome from dental treatment received in Weston does not automatically mean malpractice occurred. To succeed in a dental malpractice lawsuit, we must prove:

  • A Dentist-Patient Relationship Existed in Weston: Establishing the duty of the dentist to provide competent care.
  • Breach of the Standard of Dental Care: Demonstrating through expert testimony from qualified dental professionals that the care your Weston dentist provided fell below what a reasonably skilled and prudent dentist in Florida would have done under similar circumstances.
  • Direct Causation: Proving that this breach of care directly caused your specific injury or harm.
  • Damages: Showing that you suffered actual physical, emotional, and financial losses as a result of the dental negligence.

Our Weston-based legal team meticulously investigates local dental malpractice cases, reviewing all records and consulting with leading dental experts to build a robust claim.
