Attract more patients
By supplementing the treatments you offer with our referral treatments, you can offer existing and prospective patients a more comprehensive service than competitor practices.
Complete treatment plans faster
Once we have received your referral form, we will contact your patient immediately to arrange an initial referral examination at a time to suit them. We will complete treatment as soon as possible and return your patient to your ongoing care faster than most hospitals and many other referral services.
Free up your time to focus on what you do best
Treating patients who are either highly anxious/phobic or require complex surgical procedures can be challenging, time-consuming and in many cases not cost-effective. Using our referral service will free up your time to concentrate on the treatments you do best, helping you to use your time most effectively and profitably.
Increase your associate revenue
If you are a frequent referral dentist, we’ll discuss teaching you how to complete implant restorations (designing and fitting the implant crown) so that your practice retains this proportion of the dental implant revenue.
