REFERRALS
we welcome referrals
At Holmes Dental Care, we welcome referrals for a wide range of advanced dental procedures, including implants, restorations, root canal (endodontics) and orthodontics, as well as oral surgery by very experienced oral surgeons and specialists.
We offer all treatments under sedation, where suitable, for nervous or anxious patients.
With our investment in state-of-the-art technology and digital dentistry, we are able to offer:
Panoramic x rays (OPT)
3D x rays (cone beam CT or CBCT)
Along with the highest standard of care. We understand the level of trust placed in us by our referring colleagues. We have worked hard to forge excellent working relationships with every clinician who refers to us, and promise to provide every patient with exceptional standards of care and attention.
Implant-only referrals
Dr Holmes is happy to provide a placement-only implant service, under sedation where required, assisting with treatment planning and working closely with you to ensure the patient is happy with their experience and service throughout the entire treatment process. If you plan to carry out dental restorations following implant surgery, Dr Holmes will return the patient to your care once implant integration has been deemed successful.
Implant and restoration referrals
Dr Holmes can take charge of the entire treatment process of implants and restorations should you wish, returning the patient to your care on completion of the agreed treatment. You are welcome to accompany your patient during any stage of the consultation and treatment process.
Cosmetic dentistry referrals

If you would like to refer your patient to Dr Holmes for any of these treatments, you can be assured that your patient will be in very experienced hands. Dr Holmes will assist with all aspects of their treatment, from planning and preparations through to follow-up appointments.
