News related to:Legal Experts AI · 3 min read
Legal Experts AI, a platform that connects attorneys and clients with thoroughly vetted expert witnesses, has announced its selection of the top dental expert witnesses in practice in the United States. Each professional on this list has built a reputation beyond the clinic and into the courtroom, offering testimony in dental malpractice, oral surgery disputes, insurance litigation, and personal injury matters where the standard of care is at the center of the case.
The platform’s selection process involved vetting candidates for active licensure, sustained clinical experience, and a verifiable record of expert testimony. Priority was given to professionals with direct experience in the disputes most commonly brought before courts, including treatment planning failures, surgical complications, periodontal and endodontic negligence, implant outcomes, and informed consent violations.
Legal Experts AI recently highlighted five dental expert witnesses who have made significant contributions to the field. Dr. Richard Williamson, a Board-Certified Prosthodontist with over 46 years of combined clinical and academic experience, including 25 years at the University of Iowa College of Dentistry and the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) College of Dentistry, is one of the top names on the list.
Dr. Williamson is currently serving as Director of Implants and Director for the Global Student Engagement program at the UNMC College of Dentistry. He teaches Clinical Implantology and Removable Partial Dentures and holds a Certificate in Prosthodontics and an M.S. in Oral Biology. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Prosthodontics and a Fellow of both the American College of Prosthodontists and the International College of Dentists.
Dr. Williamson’s academic contributions include peer-reviewed research on implant prosthetics, diagnostic classification systems for dentate, partially and completely edentulous patients, mandibular prosthesis stability, and evidence-based treatment for edentulous patients, published across leading prosthodontic journals. He has served as a Subject Matter Expert for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. He has lectured nationally throughout the United States and internationally in Kenya, Vietnam, Kuwait, and Canada.
Dr. Jeff Rabinowitz, a nationally recognized dento-legal consultant and dental expert witness with 25 years of litigation experience and over 35 years in active clinical practice, is another prominent figure on the list. He currently serves as a former Chairman of the New York County Claims Committee and has advised, opined, and testified across multiple states on behalf of both plaintiffs and defendants. His case analysis spans general dentistry, oral surgery, implants, prosthodontics, endodontics, periodontics, and nerve injury matters.
Dr. Chanelle Small, a full-time practicing dentist and dental expert witness with active retained experience across more than 15 states, is yet another expert on the list. She offers impartial case evaluations and testimony for both plaintiff and defense in matters involving general dentistry, root canal therapy, dental diagnosis, infection, and standard of care. Her work is distinguished by clear, accessible communication that makes complex clinical findings understandable to all parties in litigation.
Dr. George Georgaklis, a dental expert witness with over 40 years of clinical experience and a record of more than 600 depositions on behalf of both plaintiffs and defendants, is also on the list. He devotes the majority of his professional time to clinical practice in general dentistry, oral surgery, implantology, orthodontics, and TMJ dysfunction, bringing hands-on expertise directly to his litigation work. He has examined over 4,000 TMJ patient records and provided defense testimony for numerous insurance carriers in complex dental and cosmetic dentistry cases.
Dr. Avrum Goldstein, a Board-Certified periodontist licensed in New York and holding a Dental Expert Witness Certificate in Florida, with dual board certification in both the United States and Canada, is the fifth expert on the list. He completed his specialty training at the University of Pennsylvania, served 15 years as Assistant Clinical Professor at Yale University School of Medicine, and has placed thousands of dental implants over the course of his career. He has been retained as an expert more than 100 times, with particular focus on periodontics, dental implants, and nerve injury matters.
