If you have strong proof, take her to court and go after her personal assets. The fact that she has not been wise enough to protect herself doesn't mean you are not entitled to compensation. Find an attorney that specializes in this sort of thing so you know you have someone that knows the real ins and outs of such a case.
Added: If the DDS was incorporated as a business (e.g.: an LLC), you may only have access to whatever her business assets are, and not her personal assets. As stated above, consult an attorney who specializes in these matters for further definitive infomration.

Is a Dentist in New York State required to have malpractice insurance?
There is no legal requirement in Oregon that says that dentists must have insurance but, as my source at the Oregon Board of Dentistry says, "it would be pretty unwise to not." I'm told that the Oregon Insurance Commission may help you find out whether or not a dentist is covered, and by which insurance company. Meanwhile, sometimes the dentist will tell you whether or not they're covered by malpractice insurance. If they don't, and there's a dispute, "then that's when you might have to get an attorney involved," says the source - or file in small claims court.
