If you experience a dental injury after an accident, seek dental care as soon as possible.

Yes. Shan Dental provides comprehensive dental care for patients who have suffered dental and oral injuries related to car accidents, personal injury cases, workplace incidents, and other traumatic events. Dr. Megha Pathak and her team evaluate each case carefully and create a personalized treatment plan.
Coverage depends on your insurance policy and the circumstances of the accident. In many cases, medical payments coverage, personal injury protection (PIP), liability claims, or settlements may help cover dental treatment. Our team can help coordinate documentation and communicate with attorneys or insurance representatives when appropriate.
No. You do not need an attorney before scheduling an evaluation. However, if you are involved in an active personal injury claim, having legal representation may help protect your interests and assist with claim-related matters. We can work with both patients and their attorneys throughout the treatment process.
Lien-based billing allows eligible patients to receive necessary dental treatment while payment is deferred until their personal injury claim or settlement is resolved. This option may be available in certain cases and is reviewed individually based on the details of the claim.
The cost varies depending on the type and severity of the injury, the treatment required, and the number of appointments needed. After a comprehensive examination, we will provide a detailed treatment plan and discuss available financial and billing options.
