Dental referrals are the perfect way to make sure your patients get the treatment they need. As a dentist in London, you’ll want to make sure you’re offering your patients the highest possible standard of care. Here’s how referrals can help.
Why might I need to refer a patient to Ten Dental?
Remember: dental referrals in no way underestimate your competency as a dentist. Some treatments are better placed with specialists like orthodontists, endodontists, prosthodontists or periodontists.
Why might my patient need to go elsewhere for treatment?
Referring a patient to Ten Dental doesn’t mean they are out of your hands forever! They temporarily come to us for the planned treatment. After this, your patient goes right back to you for their routine dentistry.

What is the referral process?
The dental referral process contains four simple steps, which are:
- Send us an online dental referral and receive a confirmation email to guarantee everything has gone through
- We will get in touch with your patient to set up an appointment for their treatment
- Your patient will come and see us at one of our practices in Clapham, Balham or Wandsworth
- We will report back to you about your patient’s care and send them back to your practice
