Attorney for Defective Dental Bridges & Crowns Located in Santa Clarita

Protecting You from Poor Dental Work in California

Whether you are missing a tooth, have suffered a mouth injury, or have a severely decayed tooth, a dental bridge or crown can improve your smile and restore your oral health. A crown is essentially a cap that sits on top of a damaged or decayed tooth, protecting it from further damage. A bridge, on the other hand, is a prosthetic tooth that fills in the gap of a missing or extracted tooth.

These common procedures are performed routinely by dentists. A properly installed bridge or crown can easily last for several years, if not decades. There should be no residual symptoms, infections, or problems after having a crown or bridge installed. If you are experiencing problems with a bridge or crown that was negligently or poorly installed, you may have a case against your dentist. As both a dentist and a dental malpractice attorney located in Santa Clarita serving all of California, I have the experience to help you seek the compensation you deserve.

The Effects of Faulty Dental Applications

A bridge or crown that was not installed properly can have a serious impact on your oral health and put you at risk for severe infections, periodontal disease, and other conditions.

Problems you may experience with a faulty crown or bridge include:

• Overcontour: If the crown on your natural tooth is too big, bacteria can get trapped and cause infection or disease.
• Malocclusion: If your dentist did not appropriately adjust your bite after installing a crown, you could be at risk for excessive grinding and TMJ.
• Open margin: If there are unsealed margins after a crown is cemented, bacterial plaque can leak and get trapped, causing decay and gum disease.
• Fractures: A poorly installed bridge could damage or fracture the surrounding natural teeth.
