YOUR REFERRAL PARTNERS...
Our promise to you
The success of our business relies on building long-term relationships. We continually invest in technology and skills to provide a highly professional service to both dentists and patients.
Only treatments specified in the referral process are undertaken, the aim being to act as a natural extension of your own practice. Our high standards of service and clinical expertise, the environment in which we work, all reflect the best of modern dentistry.
Why refer to specialists?
With the spiralling cost of professional indemnity insurance and a continual rise in claims, referring patients to a specialist practice reduces practice risk in technically complex and demanding cases.
The technology and training costs associated with providing advanced dentistry are considerable and ongoing. By associating with a specialist provider practices can focus on core revenues and increasing margins.
As an experienced provider of postgraduate training our team and techniques remain at the forefront of best practice. We take clinical and legal obligations extremely seriously with robust control systems to protect you and your patients – our reputation depends on it.
Referring your patients
Patients can be referred by letter, fax, email, online or for emergencies by phone. After receiving the referral your patient will receive a personal phone call. A detailed written quotation is provided with any alternative treatment options highlighted.
Communication
A patient who fully understands the treatment, its process and timeframe has less anxiety. We work with you to ensure patients are completely at ease with the work to be done and keep you completely informed from enquiry to completion.
All correspondence is duplicated to the referring practice, costs are laid out openly so dentist and patient are fully aware from day one.
Post treatment protocol
Once referred work is completed the patient is handed back to your care for their ongoing dental needs. Patients receiving complex restorations return for an annual check with feedback returned to the referring practice, this process is kept entirely separate from any other dental care provided by your practice.
