Why refer your patients to Gibside Dental

Referring your patients allows them to receive appropriate specialist care tailored to their clinical needs. Each referral is carefully reviewed to ensure accurate assessment, efficient management, and clear communication, supporting the best possible outcomes for both you and your patients.

We accept referrals for

Advanced periodontal treatment

We accept referrals for all advanced periodontal procedures, including aesthetic and functional crown lengthening, surgical management of periodontal disease, and treatment of gum recession. Dr Harriet Beaty provides soft-tissue grafting around teeth and implants, regenerative management of infrabony defects, and treatment of peri-implantitis and peri-mucositis. We also manage perio-endo lesions and offer bespoke gingival veneers for aesthetic restoration. Our periodontal service focuses on stabilising disease, rebuilding lost support, and achieving long-term functional and cosmetic outcomes. Referring dentists can trust us with complex cases requiring specialist-level periodontal care and predictable regenerative techniques.

All on 4/6

Our All-on-4 and All-on-6 full-arch implant solutions are ideal for patients with failing dentitions or complete tooth loss. We provide fixed, same-day and delayed-loading options depending on bone volume and clinical suitability. Treatment includes comprehensive assessment, digital planning, bone grafting if required, and collaboration with referring dentists for long-term maintenance. Patients benefit from improved function, facial support, and natural-looking aesthetics. We welcome referrals for complex full-arch rehabilitation, and those seeking fixed alternatives to dentures.

Cosmetic dentistry

Our cosmetic dentistry referral service includes veneers, composite bonding, smile makeovers, Invisalign and complete aesthetic transformations. We use digital photography, smile simulations and minimally invasive techniques to achieve natural, long-lasting results. Referrals are suitable for patients seeking improvements in tooth shape, alignment, colour and symmetry. Whether restoring a single tooth or redesigning a full smile, we prioritise minimally invasive and bespoke treatment options. Our team welcomes collaborative planning with referring dentists to ensure each patient receives a bespoke, high-quality cosmetic result.

Conscious sedation

We offer IV conscious sedation with midazolam for anxious or phobic patients, including some ASA III cases and children aged 12+. Sedation is delivered by trained clinicians in a controlled environment, ensuring comfort and safety throughout treatment. This service is ideal for patients requiring longer procedures, oral surgery, implants, and complex restorative dentistry, as well as those who would struggle to tolerate routine dentistry. Referring dentists can expect clear communication, comprehensive pre-assessment and safe handover back to their care. Sedation helps improve patient acceptance, reduces anxiety and ensures a calmer clinical experience.

Complex case management

We welcome referrals for complex multidisciplinary cases requiring advanced planning, second opinions or comprehensive treatment coordination. This includes patients with severe wear, failing restorations, periodontal disease, missing teeth, occlusal problems, implant complications and aesthetic concerns. Our team takes a full-mouth, risk-assessed approach using digital diagnostics, CBCT imaging and joint clinician planning. We provide clear reports, proposed sequencing and transparent communication with referring dentists throughout. This service is ideal for challenging cases where patients require stabilisation, predictable restorative planning and long-term functional outcomes.

Dental sleep medicine

We welcome referrals for the assessment and management of snoring and sleep-related breathing disorders, including mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnoea. Our clinicians provide custom-made mandibular advancement devices (MADs) designed to improve airway patency, reduce snoring and enhance sleep quality. Using advanced digital scanning and careful bite registration, we ensure comfortable, accurate appliance fit. We also coordinate closely with medical teams where further investigation is required. This service is ideal for patients seeking a non-invasive treatment option or those intolerant of CPAP therapy. Referring dentists should expect patients to have been diagnosed with OSA after receiving a sleep study, or this can be arranged by Gibside Dental
