Referral Guide

• Preferred materials for any restorations to be completed.
• Surfaces of the teeth to be restored.
• An indication of any discussions regarding post operative risks or complications.

Post-Operative Care

• Following treatment the patient will be discharged back to the referring dentist.
• We would ask for cooperation from referring colleagues to manage routine post-operative issues such as minor occlusal adjustments, smoothing of fillings, or immediate post-operative symptoms.
• A detailed discussion regarding risks would be undertaken at the assessment appointment. The option to alter the treatment plan to remove, rather than restore, teeth with questionable prognosis would be offered.
• Should restorative treatment fail, patients will also be made aware at the assessment appointment, that further treatment would incur further fees, particularly if additional sedation sessions are required.
