The $3.3 million Absolute Dental Group class action settlement received preliminary approval from the court on March 10, 2026. The deal covers all living, natural United States residents whose personal information was potentially compromised during the data breach, including all who were sent notice of the incident.

Court documents state that approximately 1,223,437 people are covered by the class action settlement.

The court-approved website for the Absolute Dental Group data breach settlement can be found at AbsoluteDataSettlement.com.

According to the website, Absolute Dental settlement class members who file a timely, valid claim form can receive up to two cash payments from the deal.

Class members who submit with their claim form proof of documented losses related to the data breach are eligible to receive up to $5,000 in reimbursement. The settlement agreement explains that class members must provide reasonable documentation, such as bank statements, receipts or invoices, to receive compensation for these expenses, which include those related to obtaining credit reports, credit monitoring and identity theft protection services, as well as bank fees, cell phone charges, travel, postage, and more.

In addition to, or instead of, a documented-loss payment, class members may file a claim form to receive a pro rata cash payment, which the agreement describes as an equal share of the amount remaining in the net settlement fund after the payment of attorneys’ fees, settlement administration costs, lead plaintiff service awards and documented-loss reimbursements.

The website adds that settlement class members who resided in California at the time of the Absolute Dental Group data breach can receive a cash fund payment that is twice as large due to state-specific consumer protections.

Alternatively, class members may download a PDF of the claim form to print, fill out and return by mail to the settlement administrator. 

All Absolute Dental Group settlement claim forms must be submitted online or by mail by June 18, 2026.

Finally, as part of the class action settlement, Absolute Dental Group has agreed to implement enhanced cybersecurity measures to better protect the personal information in its care.

The court will determine whether to grant final approval to the Absolute Dental Group settlement following a hearing on July 30, 2026. Compensation will begin to be distributed to class members only after final approval is granted and any appeals are resolved.

The Absolute Dental Group class action lawsuit claimed that the Nevada-based chain of dental practices failed to implement reasonable cybersecurity measures to protect the confidential patient and employee information stored on its systems, leading to a data breach that lasted from around February 19, 2025 to March 5, 2025.

Per court documents, private information that may have been compromised during the breach included names, addresses, dates of birth, contact information, Social Security numbers, driver’s license and state ID numbers, provider information, insurance information, diagnosis information, medical records, billing records, and other health information.
