Do I need a referral for minor oral surgery?
If you are already aware of the surgery you need, you can book a consultation directly with Foundation Dental Services. However, usually, your general dentist will raise a referral requesting the procedure and provide us with the clincal background to the problem.
Before any surgery is performed we will assess your general oral health and discuss the various treatment options available to you. We will not proceed with any treatment until you understand and are comfortable with both the plan and desired outcome.
What happens at my consultation?
Your Periodontist or Oral Medicine specialist will start by checking your medical history and completing a general dental examination to confirm that the proposed surgery is suitable. A treatment plan will then be formulated and a written quote and schedule prepared for you. Your specialist will discuss all the clinical findings and recommendations with you to ensure you understand and are comfortable with the plan.
