Do I need a referral to see a prosthodontist?

The good news is that you do not need a referral to see Dr Chong. You are welcome to get in touch and book a consultation directly. 

That said, many patients do come to us via a referral from their dentist or another dental specialist. If that is you, rest assured that Dr Chong works closely with referring practitioners to ensure your care is seamless and well-coordinated from start to finish.

What to Expect at Artisan Prosthodontics

Whether you have been referred or you are reaching out on your own initiative, the process is the same. At your first appointment, Dr Chong will take the time to understand your dental history, discuss your concerns and carry out a thorough assessment. From there, a personalised treatment plan is put together that suits your needs, your goals and your lifestyle.

So if you have been putting off seeking specialist care because you were not sure where to start, there is no need to wait. Some of the most common reasons patients come to Artisan Prosthodontics without a referral include:

  • Unhappiness with the appearance of their smile and wanting a specialist's opinion on the best path forward.
  • Loose or uncomfortable dentures that are affecting their confidence or ability to eat and speak comfortably.
  • Missing teeth and wanting to explore long term replacement options such as dental implants.
  • Worn or damaged teeth that have been causing ongoing discomfort or sensitivity.

Getting started is straightforward. Simply contact our practice and we will take care of the rest.
