Workers Compensation Dental Claims: Your Guide to Injury-Related Dental Treatment

Have You Suffered a Dental Injury at Work?

If you’ve had a workplace accident that affected your teeth, jaw, or mouth, you may be eligible for dental treatment under a workers compensation claim. At Pain-Free Dentist Sydney, we offer registered and experienced care for patients needing treatment through SIRA-approved schemes in New South Wales.

Common Workplace Dental Injuries We See

• Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth

• Knocked-out (avulsed) teeth

• TMJ (jaw joint) injuries from impact or overuse

• Facial trauma involving the lips, gums, or jaw

• Dental pain from long-term strain (e.g., grinding, posture-related issues)

• Oral infections caused by untreated injury

Our team understands the physical and emotional stress of work-related trauma — and we’re here to help you recover with gentle, pain-free dentistry.

What Is Covered Under Workers Compensation?

Approved claims through icare or SIRA (State Insurance Regulatory Authority) may cover:

• Emergency dental treatment

• Restorative procedures (e.g., crowns, bridges, implants)

• Ongoing treatment of TMJ dysfunction

• Digital X-rays, scans, and reports

• Referrals to specialists (e.g., oral surgeons or physiotherapists)

• Medico-legal reports for your case

• Final clearance or permanent impairment assessments

We are happy to work with case managers, insurance agents, and solicitors to make the process smooth and stress-free.

Transform Your Smile with Veneers

What Are Veneers?

Veneers are ultra-thin shells of porcelain or composite material that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They’re a popular cosmetic solution to instantly improve the appearance of your smile — correcting issues like:

• Discolouration or staining

• Chipped or worn teeth

• Gaps between teeth

• Mild crowding or misalignment

• Irregular shape or size of teeth

At Pain-Free Dentist Sydney, we focus on creating natural-looking, long-lasting veneers that complement your face and enhance your overall appearance — all in a gentle, relaxed setting.

Are Veneers Right for You?

Veneers may be suitable if you’re looking to:

• Brighten permanently stained teeth that don’t respond to whitening

• Repair damage from grinding or wear

• Improve symmetry and balance in your smile

• Boost your confidence before an event or life change

• Achieve a straighter smile without braces

We offer both porcelain veneers for durability and aesthetics, and composite veneers for quick fixes or more conservative treatment options.

Our Pain-Free Approach

Worried about discomfort? You’re not alone — but we’ve got you covered.

At Pain-Free Dentist Sydney, we use:

• Topical and local anaesthetics to numb gently

• Minimally invasive techniques to preserve your natural teeth

• A relaxed environment designed for anxious patients

• A step-by-step smile preview before we begin

Your comfort is just as important to us as your result.

What’s the Process?

1. Consultation – We discuss your smile goals and assess your bite, facial features, and teeth

2. Smile Design & Trial – We digitally or physically preview your future smile

3. Preparation – A thin layer of enamel is gently shaped (for porcelain veneers)

4. Placement – Your veneers are bonded and polished for a flawless, natural finish

We aim for minimal appointments and maximum results, tailored to your face and lifestyle.

How Long Do Veneers Last?

• Porcelain veneers can last 10–15 years with good care

• Composite veneers typically last 4–7 years

• Good oral hygiene, a nightguard (if you grind your teeth), and regular check-ups will keep your veneers looking their best

Tongue and Lip Tie in Babies: What Parents Need to Know

What Are Tongue and Lip Ties?

Tongue tie (ankyloglossia) and lip tie are conditions where the thin piece of tissue (called a frenulum) under the tongue or upper lip is too tight or short. This restriction can interfere with feeding, speech development, and even breathing and jaw development as your child grows.

Common Signs of Tongue or Lip Tie in Babies

As a parent, you may notice:

• Difficulty breastfeeding or bottle-feeding

• Poor latch or clicking sounds while feeding

• Prolonged feeding times

• Gassiness, reflux, or colic-like symptoms

• Poor weight gain

• Mum experiencing nipple pain, blocked ducts, or mastitis

In toddlers or older children, tongue or lip tie may cause:

• Delayed speech or unclear pronunciation

• Difficulty licking lips or moving the tongue

• Dental spacing or feeding issues (fussy eating)

• Mouth breathing or poor oral posture

How Is It Treated?

At Pain-Free Dentist Sydney, we offer gentle scissors release — a safe, fast, and effective procedure performed in the clinic. Unlike laser, scissors release:

• Is quick and immediate (takes just seconds)

• Heals naturally with minimal discomfort

• Avoids burning or charring of tissue

• Doesn't require general anaesthetic or sedation

We prioritise comfort and calm, using age-appropriate support and clear aftercare instructions. Our goal is to make the process as stress-free as possible — for both your child and you.

Why Early Treatment Matters

Left untreated, tongue or lip tie can affect:

• Breastfeeding success

• Facial and jaw development

• Airway function

• Speech clarity

• Sleep quality (due to poor tongue posture)

Early diagnosis and release can help improve feeding, reduce discomfort, and support proper growth and development — setting your child up for long-term success.

Why Choose Pain-Free Dentist Sydney?

Located at 570 New Canterbury Rd, Hurlstone Park, we are known for:

• A calm, gentle, child-friendly approach

• Extensive experience with infants and children

• Scissors release only (no lasers used)

• Collaboration with lactation consultants, speech therapists, and bodyworkers

• Ongoing care and holistic support post-procedure

We don’t just treat the tie — we treat the whole child.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

1. Comprehensive assessment of feeding, tongue movement, and oral anatomy

2. Discussion of your concerns and treatment options

3. Gentle scissors release performed in-clinic if needed

4. Clear aftercare instructions, with follow-up advice and referrals as needed

Is Your Baby Struggling to Feed?
