Legal protection of a dentist

Legal protection of a dentist

Dentistry is one of the most conflict-prone medical specialties. Implantation, prosthetics, post-treatment complications, and subjective evaluation of results — any procedure may end in a claim, complaint, or even the initiation of criminal proceedings.

Today, the professional activity of a dentist is associated not only with medical aspects but also with legal risks.

When Does a Dentist Need a Lawyer?

  • A patient demands compensation
  • A claim or lawsuit has been filed
  • Criminal proceedings have been initiated under Article 140 of the Criminal Code
  • An inspection by the Ministry of Health or another regulatory authority
  • A dispute regarding informed consent
  • A threat of license revocation

The earlier a lawyer becomes involved, the greater the chances of resolving the matter without court proceedings or without a conviction.

Legal Protection for Dentists

Civil Claims and Compensation

The most common scenario is a claim for damages. A patient may allege:

  • poor-quality treatment
  • loss of a tooth
  • the need for a repeat procedure
  • moral (non-pecuniary) damages

In such cases, the key objective is to prove:

  • compliance with clinical protocols
  • properly executed informed consent
  • absence of a causal link

We build a defense strategy together with medical experts and support the process through to resolution.

Criminal Liability of a Dentist

Article 140 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine is one of the most significant risks. Even without a conviction, the mere initiation of criminal proceedings may seriously damage a doctor’s reputation.

We provide:

  • legal support at the stage of initial complaints and inspections
  • representation during interrogations and other investigative actions
  • legal analysis and supervision of expert examinations
  • protection against unfounded criminal qualification
  • work aimed at terminating proceedings at the pre-trial stage

In criminal proceedings, it is crucial to form the correct legal position from the very first procedural actions.

Inspections and Licensing Risks

We support dentists during:

  • inspections by the Ministry of Health
  • inspections by the State Service on Food Safety and Consumer Protection
  • patient complaints
  • orders and fines

We challenge unlawful decisions and protect your license.
