On occasion it is necessary to seek the services of a Specialist Dentist.
This is usually because the dental problem is particularly complex or we feel that the patients best interest are better served by seeing a Dentist who has specific experience in that area.
Referral Examples:
Orthodontic treatment- adults and children
Children’s dentistry -Particularly for anxious patients or patients with severe dental neglect. Also, patients with Special needs.
Oral surgery- certain extractions such as impacted wisdom teeth are often better treated by a Specialist
Implants- Many implants can now be placed in the Practice, however for cases of particular complexity especially full mouth reconstructions this is better undertaken in a Specialist Practice environment
Root treatments(complex)- Most root canal treatment is carried out in-house, but due to the complex anatomy of some teeth and also in some cases where root canal treatment requires to be replaced, it is necessary to call on the help of a Specialist endodontist.
