Dental Referrals
Eilertsen Dental Care
Online Dental Referrals, Simple and Secure
We know it’s important for referring dentists to have a quick and reliable system. That’s why we provide online dental referrals, allowing you to submit cases directly through our secure digital forms. This ensures a smooth process, reduces paperwork, and allows us to contact patients promptly to arrange their appointments.
Our online system is designed to save you time while giving your patients access to the advanced care they need.
CBCT Referral and OPG Referral
For cases requiring detailed imaging, we offer both CBCT referrals and OPG referrals.
- CBCT referral: Cone Beam CT scans provide highly accurate 3D images, essential for implant planning, endodontics, and complex surgical cases.
- OPG referral: Orthopantomogram (OPG) scans provide a panoramic view of the teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures, ideal for orthodontic assessments and general diagnostics.
Referring dentists must hold the appropriate CBCT training (minimum Level 1) to request these scans. Once the referral is submitted, we arrange the scan directly with the patient and provide the results promptly.
Paediatric Referral
Children often require a different approach to dental care, and our team is highly experienced in providing gentle, effective treatment for younger patients. Our paediatric referral service covers a wide range of treatments, including:
- Hall crowns
- Extractions
- Restorations
- Radiographs (OPG and bitewings)
We work closely with parents and guardians to ensure they fully understand the treatment plan, costs, and expected outcomes. Our goal is to make every child’s experience as comfortable and positive as possible.
Extraction Referral
For patients requiring complex oral surgery, we provide a dedicated extraction referral pathway. This includes the removal of impacted wisdom teeth, retained roots, and other extractions that may be beyond the scope of general practice.
Our clinicians are highly skilled in surgical techniques, ensuring patient safety and comfort throughout the procedure. We also provide clear aftercare instructions and follow-up support to ensure smooth recovery.
Orthodontic Extraction Referral
In some orthodontic cases, the removal of selected teeth is necessary to create space and achieve the best possible alignment. Our orthodontic extraction referral service provides a safe, efficient pathway for patients who require extractions as part of their orthodontic treatment plan.
We work closely with referring dentists and orthodontists to ensure that every patient receives the highest standard of care. Extractions are carried out by experienced clinicians in a calm, supportive environment, with clear communication at every stage.
Parents and guardians are fully informed of the process, and patients are given detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery. We also operate a transparent booking system, with appointment confirmation and payment handled securely.
