Care Options

With respect to our specific care for your patients, we offer you two concepts:

  • You may refer your patient for management of a specific condition. Once the reason for referral has been addressed, we will return your patient to your care.
  • You may refer your patient for ongoing care until an age specified by you (for example, until 12 years of age).Then, at that age we will return your patient to your ongoing care.

Simply indicate your preference when you refer to us.

When You Refer

We appreciate as much information as you can provide us, including medical, dental and social history.

Records

We are always grateful for any records you can send us, including recent radiographs.

We appreciate your forward planning. If you think your patient may require an OPG or other images, please request them at the time of referral. This will help your patient.
