The Right Choice to Recover Damages for Your Dental Malpractice Injury

The firm of Lutfy & Santora may be the only firm in the State of New York that dedicates its law practice to representing clients in dental malpractice lawsuits. Over ninety percent of our practice is limited to dental malpractice litigation.

Many of the firms who seek to represent you in dental malpractice cases either refer these cases to other attorneys or spend much of their time with general negligence litigation and non-dental malpractice matters. Moreover, due to their lack of familiarity with dental malpractice litigation, many attorneys who seek dental malpractice lawsuits will not represent a client in what they consider to be a small case, and may miss an opportunity to recover damages for dental patients in a difficult case. 


Lutfy & Santora Can Help to get You Compensation for: 

• Problems or complications involving implants;
• Loss of sensation in the face, tongue, chin, or lip;
• Complications from nerve damage;
• Costly dental services to repair negligent dentistry such as ill-fitting crowns or bridges, Improperly performed root canal therapy, veneers, implants, substandard orthodontic treatment, or negligent extractions
• Permanent dental injury or disfigurement

Since our firm limits its practice to dental malpractice litigation, we have access to dental experts in all areas of dentistry. As a result of these relationships with dental experts, we have acquired considerable knowledge in all areas and issues of dentistry, which provides the sound foundation for competent and vigorous representation.  Furthermore, we are respected by the insurance companies who defend and indemnify the dentists, as well as the attorneys who represent dentists in malpractice litigation.

Do not assume that attorneys who represent plaintiffs in medical malpractice lawsuits know the dental malpractice field as well as attorneys who focus in the area of dental malpractice.  Knowledge in the medical field is highly specialized, so it is not easy to shift from one practice area to another.  

By concentrating in the dental malpractice field, we are able to see the nuances in the facts, and to ask the probing questions of experts and defendant dentists at their depositions.  Visit our Library Article: "Dental Malpractice Questions You Should Ask Yourself" if you believe that you have been a victim.
