Navigating the aftermath of a workplace accident is stressful enough without the added burden of dental pain and complex insurance paperwork. At our practice, we don't just see patients; we serve as dedicated Worker’s Care Providers.
We specialize in treating the unique physical and administrative challenges of industrial dental injuries. From restorative surgery for lost teeth to complex jaw trauma and TMJ issues, our team is equipped to restore your health while handling the heavy lifting of the workers' compensation system. As a multi-specialty practice, we are equipped to handle all aspects of dentistry at our Culver City location.
General dentistry focuses on hygiene and elective procedures. However, Workplace Injury Dentistry requires a deeper understanding of trauma, long-term functional rehabilitation, and the legal nuances of the insurance claims process.
Workplace accidents rarely result in simple cavities. We provide expert care for:
If your injury is part of a legal or contested claim, you may require a Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME). We understand the specific reporting requirements needed to document the extent of your injury, ensuring that your medical record accurately reflects the care you need for a full recovery.
We provide a full spectrum of restorative and functional treatments designed to return you to your pre-injury state.

The biggest barrier to recovery is often the claims and billing process. Most dental offices require payment upfront, but we operate differently. We manage the administrative burden so you can focus on healing.
We work directly with your workers' compensation carrier. You won't have to worry about out-of-pocket costs for covered treatments or coordinating between the doctor and the insurance company.
Industrial dental claims often require Pre-Authorization (Utilization Review). Our administrative team is highly experienced in:
Note: Because we prioritize direct insurance handling, we ensure that your treatment plan aligns with the specific guidelines of your claim, protecting you from unexpected bills.
Seek emergency care immediately. If the tooth is intact, keep it moist (in milk or saliva) and contact us right away. We specialize in re-implantation and emergency stabilization.
Our team is skilled in the appeals process. If a claim is denied, we provide additional clinical evidence or peer-to-peer reviews with the insurance company's medical consultants to advocate for your care.
For verified workers' compensation claims, our goal is to handle the billing entirely through the carrier. We aim for zero out-of-pocket stress for the injured worker.
Don't let a workplace injury define your future. Whether you are dealing with a fresh injury or a long-standing TMJ issue resulting from a past accident, we are here to help.
Call our office today to schedule your consultation. We will help you navigate the system, talk to the adjusters, and—most importantly—get your smile back.
We are currently partnered to administer care for injured workers with HeadsUp Healthcare and are experienced providers for the California Victim Compensation Board.

A root canal treatment removes an infection inside a tooth while preserving the natural structure of the tooth. Tooth extraction, on the other hand, removes the entire tooth, which ends pain but leaves a gap that can affect speech, bite force, and alignment. While the dentist will always aim to preserve the natural tooth, the…
Teeth whitening works by applying a peroxide gel that lifts stains from enamel, the tooth’s outer layer. Custom trays hold the gel evenly against the teeth, promoting consistent shade change while limiting gel on the gums. As a general dentist, the focus stays on fit, concentration, and timing to help patients whiten gradually and comfortably.…
