Dental Injuries Covered Under Workers’ Compensation

California workers’ compensation law recognizes dental injuries as compensable workplace injuries. Common cases we treat include:

  • Jaw fractures and traumatic jaw injuries
  • Knocked-out, chipped, or fractured teeth from workplace accidents
  • TMJ/TMD dysfunction caused by impact trauma or stress-related clenching and grinding
  • Tooth loss requiring implant-supported reconstruction, including All-on-4 full-arch restoration
  • Orofacial pain, including jaw-related headaches and bite misalignment following injury

How We Work With Your Attorney or Case Manager

Dental injury claims often require clear, well-documented medical evidence to move forward. Our office provides:

  • Causation analysis connecting the dental injury to the workplace incident
  • Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI) and permanent impairment evaluations consistent with the AMA Guides
  • CBCT 3D imaging and digital documentation to support claims and hearings
  • Direct coordination with attorneys, adjusters, and case managers throughout treatment
  • QME evaluation services (certification in progress)

Lien-Based Treatment — No Upfront Cost to the Injured Worker

Volterra Dental accepts workers’ compensation liens, meaning injured workers can begin treatment before a claim is fully resolved. We also bill commercial and Medicare medical insurance for dental treatment where applicable, helping reduce out-of-pocket costs.
