why refer?
Patients sometimes require treatment that falls outside
the remit of general dental practice. Appropriate, timely
referral demonstrates a high standard of care, and
reflects your duty of care, to your patient. Current GDC
guidelines (Standards for Professionals Paragraph 1.3)
state that ‘a dentist should work within their knowledge,
competence, and physical ability and patients should be
referred for second opinions and advice at the patient’s
request or for treatment when necessary’.
At Elite Dental Referral Centre, we are happy to assist
you in the provision of optimum care for your patient
