Comprehensive Care: When Specialists Are Involved

At Dixon Road Dental Surgery, we understand that every patient’s needs are unique, and the severity of a condition can vary significantly. This means the extent of treatment will also differ from person to person. Our primary goal is always to provide you with the best possible care, and sometimes, achieving that means bringing in additional expertise.

Why Specialist Involvement Matters

While our team is highly skilled in a wide range of dental procedures, there are occasions when a condition may require the specialized knowledge and advanced techniques of a dental specialist. In these situations, involving a specialist can significantly benefit you, the patient, and improve the success of your treatment outcome. Specialists have undergone extensive additional training in specific areas of dentistry, allowing them to handle complex cases, utilize advanced technologies, and offer treatment options that might not be available in a general practice setting.

Our Collaborative Approach

We believe in a collaborative approach to your oral health. This means that if our dentists determine that your condition would benefit from a specialist’s input, we’ll discuss this openly and thoroughly with you. We’ll explain why specialist care is recommended, what you can expect, and answer any questions you may have.
