Let’s be honest: referring a patient for root canal treatment takes trust. You want to know they’ll be looked after, kept informed, and returned to your care once the specialist treatment is complete. At Kent Endo, that’s exactly what we aim to do.

Root canal treatment can be complex, detailed and, at times, demanding — which is why many general dentists choose to refer suitable cases to our experienced team. Because our practice is limited to endodontics, your patient receives focused care for the treatment requested, before being returned to you for any ongoing dental care.

So, how does the referral process work?

We accept referred patients for the specific treatment requested by their referring dentist. The more information you can include with the referral, the better — it helps us understand the case quickly and can save your patient both time and money.

At the initial consultation, we talk through the available options with the patient, so they have everything they need to make a confident, informed decision. They will also receive a personalised treatment plan and a clear estimate of the fees before any treatment begins.

Once treatment is complete, the patient is returned to the referring dentist for any ongoing care, and we send a full written report, so you know exactly what has been carried out.
