Dentist Botched A Surgery And Now I've Found Out That Their License Is On A Probationary Status

I had a pretty involved dental surgery last year. It went terribly; I woke up mid-procedure, the local anesthetic did not work so I felt everything from the moment I woke up, I heard them detailing conversations I'd had with them in confidence with people that did not work for their practice while they thought I was still under(potential HIPAA violation?), they continued to stitch me up and attempted to complete the procedure for over an hour while I was awake and sobbing in pain, some of the work they did wasn't done correctly and it cost me approximate $12,000 to have other dentists and periodontists repair the work.
I was at my current dentist today and one of the staff their asked me if I'd "tried to get my money back" from my former doctor. She told me to look up the former doctor on the state dental board website and sent me home.
When I looked up the former doctor, I found that their license had been revoked for drinking on the job and performing anesthesia and surgeries while intoxicated. The board investigators found liquor in the dentist's office and the dentist admitted to drinking during procedures. They then failed a drug test for alcohol 3 months before I started seeing them. Their license was reinstated on a probationary basis 2 months before I started seeing them and the license remains on this probationary status.
I'm wondering what my recourse is, if any, in this instance. I spent $25,000 on the procedure they botched, and have spent an additional $12,000+ to have that work repaired. What would my legal option look like? State is NC.
