Dentists for personal injury

Dentists and oral surgeons repair what accidents do to teeth and jaws: fractured or knocked-out teeth, damaged crowns and implants, jaw and TMJ injuries from airbag impact, and facial trauma from falls and assaults.

Dental injuries are easy to overlook in a personal injury case and expensive to treat later, so an early evaluation with photographs and X-rays matters. A dentist who sees injury patients can estimate the full course of restorative work, which a claim needs in writing, and some accept liens or letters of protection when treatment cannot wait for a settlement.
