Q: My dental crown fell off recently. I went to my previous dentist, but the practice has a new owner. Can I still get compensation?

Kelly: Generally speaking, if it has been more than a year since you had a crown installed, you do not qualify for a full compensation.

Normally, when a doctor changes locations, they contact their previous patients to notify them of their move.

Or the new doctor will be responsible for old patients.

In your case, if it has been less than a year since having your crown installed, you should qualify for a full compensation or… replacement crown.

You can seek advice from a new doctor or get the contact information for your previous doctor.
