If you’ ve discussed your dental concerns with your dentist and they have recommended you see one of our specialists for further assessment, then your next step is to book an appointment.
You can book at whichever clinic is most convenient. Patients around Noosa often choose our Tewantin rooms in the Cooloola Centre, and if you live north of Brisbane, you can find out how to see a periodontist in North Lakes, with appointments at our nearby Strathpine clinic.
When practitioners choose to refer a patient, your dentist can send through a referral by email or from this web site or you can hand deliver any relevant information at your initial consultation. We then work together with you and your dentist to determine the best treatment plan for your condition, ensuring you understand and are comfortable with the recommended procedures before any treatment is commenced. If your dentist hasn't referred to us before, they can see how dentists refer to us and what to include.
Once we’ve completed your initial treatment and stabilised your oral health then we will recommend a review or recall program to ensure the benefits of treatment are not lost. Sometimes these reviews will be carried out at FDS. Sometimes they are “shared” between the specialist practice and the general dental practice or hygienist.
