Introduction
Dental care is a complex and nuanced subject matter. In legal disputes involving dental malpractice, attorneys, judges, and juries require insights from an expert to evaluate the facts of the case. This is where a dental expert witness comes in to fill the gap between technical knowledge and legal prudence.
Who is a Dental Expert Witness?
A dental expert witness is a qualified and licensed dental professional tasked with simplifying the complexities of dental issues in a legal dispute. They provide unbiased and objective testimony on adherence, or lack thereof, to dental care guidelines and accepted standards of care.
The testimony of a expert witness does not influence the outcome of a case in any party’s favor. Instead, it ensures that the decision is well-informed and inclusive of key considerations.
What Disputes Can Benefit from Dental Expert Witness Testimony?
The areas of expertise of a dental expert witness can vary, from periodontics, prosthodontics, and oral surgeries to cosmetic, restorative, and even forensic dentistry. A qualified dental expert can testify in matters of:
Dental Malpractice
Assess adherence to or deviation from the standard of care and vouch for the possibility of negligence causing injury.
Dental Diagnosis and Patient Aftercare
Interpret x-rays, imaging, and prescriptions to opine on the probability of incorrect diagnosis and ascertain whether patient care protocols have been sidelined.
Dental Implants and Prosthetics
Review procedures for implants and restorative surgery.
Maxillofacial Surgeries and Complications
Review and give insight on mouth, jaw, and face surgeries.
Traumatic Injuries
Probe for signs of causation between injury and treatment/procedural mistakes.
Dental Material
Evaluate the quality of crown/filling materials to ensure they meet industry standards.
Further, based on their specialization, such expert witnesses can corroborate or contradict claims of negligence and breach of duty mandated in specific fields of dental practice.
How Can a Dental Expert Witness Support Your Case?
Consultation and Evaluation
The role of a dental expert witness begins with an assessment of the plaintiff’s diagnosis, current physical/oral condition, and the likelihood of potential harm stemming from such a condition. Further, the expert will analyze and ascertain whether there is negligence/breach of duty/or deviation from the prescribed standard of care.
A dental expert’s information on the causation of an injury aids attorneys in crafting strategic arguments and counterarguments for the trial.

- Credentials of the expert
- Overview of the case

- Participating in mock trials to help assess the strengths and weaknesses of the case
- Providing real-time support during the trial

Testimony in Court
During the trial, the expert witness testifies in court on behalf of the party that has retained them. They are involved in the following:
- Opening statements by the client’s attorney include the expert witness’s brief introduction
- Direct examination by a client’s attorney, where the expert’s credibility is established through questions on their qualifications.
- Cross-examination by the opposing party
- Rebuttal testimony for countering new points raised by the opposing party
- Questions from the judge or the jury
- Closing statement
The Bottom Line
To get the most out of an expert witness’s service, it is advisable to onboard them from the initial stage. An expert witness is a lifeline for innocents struggling to overcome the barbed wires of technicalities. Although the expert witness’s report may not influence the final decision, it definitely plays a pivotal role in pushing the decision-makers in the right direction.
