As dental procedures become more complex and invasive, dentists are coming under greater scrutiny and malpractice claims against them are rising. MCB is a proven leader in the defense of dentists, periodontists, endodontists, prosthodontists, orthodontists, dental hygienists, office assistants and other related professionals in this field for the last century. The Firm’s defense experience extends from informed consent issues of mini-dental implant surgery and failure to diagnose oral cancer to dental procedures such as full mouth restorations.
As with the Firm’s other areas of malpractice, MCB attorneys are well versed in the various technical and scientific issues of dental malpractice, and its various specialties, and can provide the necessary defense tactics and assist these professionals with risk management to help minimize claims. The Firm understands that a dental malpractice claim not only has the potential for financial repercussions, but also harm to a professional’s reputation and license.
MCB’s defense of these specialties encompasses a number of areas, including:
- Investigations and hearings before the Office of Professional Discipline
- Professional licensing and accrediting issues
- Investigations and hearings before dental societies
- Partnership and Employment Agreements
- Wage and Hour/Wrongful Termination
