    Do I have a lawsuit?
    I recently went to a dental chain & had some work done. The dr suggested I get veneers since I was not happy with my stains. I explained I would be moving across state & would purchase them if they were ready in time. Needless to say, they weren't. I flew back in Oct for the procedure. It all went downhill from there.
    1- The doctor spilt some liquid that was used for the procedure on the side of my mouth which burnt me and has caused a scar. Nothing huge but noticeable.
    2- I asked for the venners to match in color a crown I had previously done, they are different shades.
    3- Not even a week later and one pops off.
    4- Dr didn't remove the glue from between my teeth, I am unable to floss one of my teeth. This can cause tooth decay because I am unable to get the food out.
    5- I forced the floss on another and chipped another veneer which I was able to catch on my tongue.
    I have called for a month now, and the office manager refuses to return my calls. Veneers are very expensive. They were not properly done, not to mention the wrong color and now I am walking around with one missing and another one chipped. I was in a wedding, which I was unable to smile in. Do I have a case?

    This is not something you can handle yourself - if you are thinking Small Claims the Dentist (who is far more knowledgeable) will dance circles around - and over! - you.

    Locate an Attorney who specializes in medical/dental malpractice.
