for referring dentists

Why dentists refer to MWDS

Dentists, dental auxillaries, and other health care workers can refer patients to a dental specialist. Complex, difficult treatment, or more routine treatment for patients with high expectations will often be referred to a dental specialist. The role of dental specialists is not to act as a substitute for general dental care, but to work in unison with the general practitioner to achieve the very best outcomes for our patients.

Referrals to Midwestern Dental Specialists can be in the form of an individualised letter drafted by the referrer, or a completed referral form. Referral forms are available in the links below, or copies of the referral pads and business cards can be sent to your practice upon request.
