REFERRING DENTISTS

Refer Your Patients with Confidence

At Manor Lodge Dental Practice in Edgware, we welcome referrals from dental colleagues for specialist and advanced dental care.

We understand the trust involved when you refer a patient to another clinician. Our aim is to provide your patient with high-quality, professional care while maintaining clear communication with you throughout their treatment journey.

Following completion of the referred treatment, your patient will be returned to your care for their ongoing general dentistry.

A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH

Your Patient Remains Your Patient

We value our relationships with referring dentists.

Unless otherwise agreed, we will provide care specifically for the treatment for which your patient has been referred.

We aim to keep you informed of relevant findings, proposed treatment and outcomes, and once the referred treatment is complete, your patient will be returned to your care for their routine and ongoing dental treatment.

 

Our approach is based on:

Professional collaboration

Working alongside you in the best interests of your patient.

Clear communication

Keeping you informed about assessment, treatment and outcomes.

Respect for the referring relationship

Your patient remains under your care for their ongoing general dentistry.

Patient-centred care

Giving patients time to understand their diagnosis and treatment options.

ORAL SURGERY REFERRALS

We welcome referrals for a range of oral surgery procedures, including:

  • Complex dental extractions
  • Surgical extractions
  • Wisdom tooth assessment and removal
  • Retained roots
  • Other appropriate dentoalveolar surgery

 

For anxious patients or where clinically appropriate, conscious sedation may also be considered following assessment.

NERVOUS PATIENTS & SEDATION REFERRALS

Some patients require additional support to undergo dental treatment comfortably.

At Manor Lodge Dental Practice, we provide:

Inhalation Sedation

A gentle form of conscious sedation using nitrous oxide and oxygen, suitable for appropriately assessed patients.

IV Conscious Sedation

For patients who require a greater level of relaxation during dental treatment.

All patients are individually assessed to determine their suitability for sedation and the most appropriate approach.
