A: It is advisable to seek a second opinion from another dental professional to evaluate the implants and crowns' quality and condition. This will assist in determining if the work was performed inadequately or incorrectly. If you gather evidence that suggests negligence or substandard care, you may have a case.

A: Sorry to hear what happened to you. If your dentist is a member, you could file a complaint with the New York State Dental Association, https://www.nysdental.org/for-the-public/patient-complaint-form Otherwise and without minimizing what you've gone through, the loss of crowns (which can likely be replaced) would arguably not justify the time and expense of a dental malpractice lawsuit.
