I guess, you could check your insurance if they could helped you about it coz they have some features regarding doctor's negligence compensation. Anyhow, if you are not covered by it then pm me so i can suggest to you if you want to claim from that damages. It will take you long to court if the Dental Association will normally protect their own DMD members. Though, I know how it feels if the damaged has been done coz it happened to me but it happened the dentist was my friend so since then I never went back to that dentist. I normally looked one of the dental surgeon or dentist in town coz i value my teeth very much. I have spent so much on my teeth also like 20 years ago 6 teeth for prosthesis and my teeth are still in good condition and recently i got a tooth implant with the same dentist who did a great job for my lateral cuspid which my friend before destroyed. I need it to be implanted coz she broke the whole crown.

Well, just dont be too harshed on your experience coz just asked him to redo it or asked for a compensation. Or you just tell him point blank that you will sue him for a bad work.

Lets see if that works,
