What a referral can include
A dentist may send the reason for referral, recent radiographs, relevant dental history or other records that help the orthodontist understand the concern.
Orthodontic Referrals in Surrey
A referral can help transfer information from a dentist or another provider, but patients can also contact Guildford Orthodontic Centre directly to ask about an orthodontic consultation.
When dentists refer
Common reasons include crowding, bite problems, eruption concerns, impacted teeth, relapse, jaw-growth questions or the need to coordinate orthodontics with restorative care.
Patients can still ask questions directly
If you are unsure whether a referral is required, contact the orthodontic office. The team can explain what information is needed and whether your dentist should send records.
Coordination matters
Orthodontic treatment often occurs alongside routine dental care. Communication between the orthodontist and general dentist can be especially important when there are missing teeth, periodontal concerns or planned restorative treatment.
