What happened
Patients alleged Coast Dental kept sending appointment reminder texts and calls after they replied 'stop', violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and Florida Telephone Solicitation Act. Coast Dental denies wrongdoing.
The case is Chaviano v. Coast Dental Services, LLC (No. 2026-013610-CA-01) in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit, Miami-Dade County, Florida.
A court-appointed administrator runs the claim process and sends the payments. SettleClub is not affiliated with the administrator or with Coast Dental.
Who qualifies
Anyone in the United States who, in the four years before the case was filed, received more than one Coast Dental text or call in a 12-month period encouraging them to schedule an appointment, after replying 'stop' or similar to a text.
Check the class definition carefully. Settlements are specific about dates and locations, and claims from people outside the class are rejected.
How much you could get
The notice lists up to $59 cash or $99 voucher per person from a fund of up to $3,840,664.
The settlement fund is split among everyone who files a valid claim, after attorneys' fees, administration costs and any service awards approved by the court, so the final amount depends on how many people file.
Do you need proof? No.
No documents. You submit a claim form with the required affirmations and choose either a pro-rata cash share of up to $59 or a $99 voucher toward an electric toothbrush sold by Coast Dental.
You sign the claim form under penalty of perjury, so only file if you genuinely fit the class definition above. That is the whole requirement.
How to file
File online or mail a claim form postmarked by December 24, 2026. The opt-out and objection deadline passed on October 30, 2026. The hearing is December 9, 2026. Checks go out within 60 days of the effective date.
The deadline is Dec 24, 2026. Filing takes a few minutes online. Keep the confirmation number the administrator gives you; it is the only proof you filed.
When the money arrives
The court holds its final approval hearing on Dec 9, 2026. Payments go out after the judge approves the settlement and any appeals are resolved, which typically takes a few months.
Track this claim in SettleClub and you will get a reminder before the deadline and a nudge when payments start going out.

Questions
Is the Coast Dental settlement legit?+
Yes. It is a court-approved settlement in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit, Miami-Dade County, Florida. You file on the administrator's official site, never through a third party, and nobody legitimate will ask you to pay to claim.
Do I need a lawyer?+
No. Class counsel already represents the class, and their fees come out of the fund. You just file the claim form.
Do I need a receipt?+
No. This settlement accepts claims on your sworn statement alone.
What if I miss the deadline?+
Late claims are rejected. The administrator has no discretion to accept them, which is why a reminder matters more than it sounds.
