For Doctors
A collaborative approach to patient care
We work closely with referring practitioners to ensure continuity of care, clear communication, and predictable clinical outcomes.
Referrals are managed with structured processes, timely updates, and a shared-care mindset that keeps you informed at every stage of treatment.

Timely communication and progress updates
Shared-care coordination

How to refer patients, what information is required, and how care is coordinated from initial referral to follow-up.
Treatment planning may include shared clinical input across the team, particularly for complex cases, to support appropriate option selection, sequencing, and predictability based on documented standards.
Submit the referral with relevant clinical information and imaging, where available.
The case is reviewed and, where appropriate, supported by collective clinical input to confirm suitability and planning.
Assessment and treatment are coordinated, with updates provided and clear handover for ongoing care.

Frequently asked questions
for referring doctors
What is your specific clinical scope, and which cases should be referred elsewhere?
Toothsome handles complex periodontics, implants, oral surgery (wisdom teeth, bone grafting), and advanced restorative work. They also accommodate patients requiring general anaesthesia.
However, highly complex maxillofacial surgery or cases requiring multidisciplinary medical hospital management should be directed elsewhere.
How do you handle urgent or same-day referrals?
Urgent cases (infection, trauma, significant swelling) are prioritized. The fastest way to coordinate this is via a direct phone call to the clinic so the clinical team can escalate the scheduling immediately.
Will my patient be returned to me once the specialist treatment is complete?
Yes. Toothsome operates on a shared-care model. Once the specific specialist phase is over, the patient is discharged back to the referring doctor for routine maintenance and ongoing general dental care.
What is the process for communication and clinical updates?
Updates are provided at key milestones: after the initial consultation, after the procedure, and upon discharge. These typically arrive as written reports via email and include relevant imaging (OPGs, CBCTs) and histopathology if applicable.
What imaging is required for a referral, and can you take it on-site?
While recent OPGs or periapical X-rays are helpful to include with the referral, Toothsome offers on-site imaging (including CBCT and OPG). For dental implants specifically, Toothsome usually takes their own CBCT scans to ensure the data is current for precise guide fabrication.
Have more questions about referring a patient?
If you need clarification or additional information, please contact the clinic. Our team can assist with general enquiries, explain available options, and outline appropriate next steps.
