What is a personal injury dentist, and how can they help me?

A personal injury dentist specializes in treating dental injuries resulting from accidents or trauma. We are experienced in diagnosing and treating various dental issues that may arise from personal injury cases, including fractures, dislocations, and soft tissue injuries.

What types of personal injury cases do you handle?

We handle a wide range of personal injury cases, including car accidents, workplace injuries, sports-related injuries, and slip-and-fall accidents, among others. If your accident has resulted in dental trauma or injury, we can provide the necessary dental care and support.

What should I do if I've suffered a dental injury due to an accident?

If you’ve experienced a dental injury as a result of an accident, it’s essential to seek prompt dental care. Contact our office immediately to schedule an appointment for an evaluation and treatment. We can assess the extent of your injuries and develop a personalized treatment plan to address your dental needs.

What types of dental injuries can be treated by a personal injury dentist?

Our team is trained to treat a variety of dental injuries, including broken or fractured teeth, knocked-out teeth, injuries to the soft tissues of the mouth, jaw fractures, and more. We utilize advanced techniques and technology to provide effective treatment for each patient’s unique needs.

How are dental injuries diagnosed?

A dentist will examine your mouth. They’ll also ask how you got your injury and what kind of symptoms you have. They may also take dental X-rays or a CT (computed tomography) scan. These imaging tests allow your dentist to see the extent of your injuries.

Do I need to have a personal injury attorney to seek dental treatment after an accident?

While having legal representation can be beneficial in navigating the complexities of personal injury claims, it is not required to seek dental treatment from our office. We can work with your attorney or insurance company to ensure you receive the care you need and assist with any documentation or evidence required for your case.

Will my dental insurance cover the cost of treatment for personal injury-related dental injuries?

Coverage for personal injury-related dental treatment may vary depending on your insurance policy and the specifics of your case. Our office accepts most major dental insurance plans and can assist you in determining your coverage eligibility. We also offer flexible payment options for uninsured or out-of-pocket expenses.If you are in an auto accident and suffer dental injuries, that is a car accident injury. However, the question becomes whether or not your PIP insurance benefits will cover your dental injuries or if you need to go after the other driver’s bodily injury coverage for payment. Most states have what is known as “No-Fault” car insurance laws. This means that no matter whose fault the accident was, your injury claim will fall under your own (or your passengers) car insurance policy. Therefore, if you were injured in a car accident and suffered dental injuries, then chances are good that your PIP insurance benefits will cover those injuries.

However, in many cases, the other driver’s bodily injury coverage may be required to pay for your dental injuries. If this is the case, it is important to hire a personal injury attorney who can help you receive the money you deserve for those injuries.

How long will it take to recover from a dental injury sustained in an accident?

The recovery time for dental injuries can vary depending on the severity of the injury and the type of treatment required. Our team will provide you with a personalized treatment plan and timeline for recovery based on your individual needs and circumstances.

What should I expect during my first visit to your office for a personal injury-related dental injury?

During your initial consultation, our team will conduct a thorough examination of your dental injury, including any necessary diagnostic tests or imaging. We will discuss your treatment options and answer any questions you may have about your care plan, insurance coverage, or the recovery process.

Can you provide documentation or expert testimony for my personal injury case?

Yes, we can provide detailed documentation of your dental injuries and treatment for use in your personal injury case. Our team is experienced in working with attorneys and providing expert testimony as needed to support your claim.
