Dental Referrals in Wimbledon: How to Access Specialist Care

Sometimes, your dental needs go beyond general care. In these cases, your dentist may recommend a referral to a specialist for advanced treatment. At Merton Dental in Wimbledon, we ensure the referral process is smooth, supportive, and always in your best interests.


What Is a Dental Referral?

A dental referral is when your general dentist recommends that you see a specialist for specific treatment. This ensures you get expert care for complex issues.


Common Reasons for Dental Referrals

1. Oral Surgery

Procedures like wisdom tooth extractions or complex surgeries.

2. Endodontics (Root Canal Specialist)

For complicated or repeat root canal treatments.

3. Orthodontics

Specialist care for advanced teeth straightening or bite correction.

4. Periodontics

Treatment for advanced gum disease requiring specialist intervention.

5. Prosthodontics

Specialist support for complex crowns, bridges, or dentures.
