A dental malpractice lawsuit can be filed to recover compensation for the medical costs and physical damages related to the scar. A malpractice suit can be very complicated, where you will have to subpoena records, hire expert witnesses and more to demonstrate that your fiancé's injury occurred as a result of the dentist not following standards of care.
Dentists typically carry malpractice insurance and have the resources to hire counsel. They will vigorously defend any claim against them. If your fiancé wants to pursue a claim against the dentist, his best bet is hiring an experienced malpractice attorney. Keep in mind, there is a short window you have to file a claim before the statute of limitations passes, after which, you will be unlikely to recover any money.
