We investigate complaints received about a dentist, whether from the public, co-workers, or other health care professionals.
Have a Problem with a Dentist?
We investigate all complaints. You are kept informed throughout the process. You do not need a lawyer but you may hire a lawyer to represent you, if you wish.
How the Complaints Process Works
Our complaints process is transparent. Dentists and complainants are kept informed at every step. Committees make informed, evidence-based decisions.
