Referral Partners
Entrusting patients to another provider is not a decision made lightly, but that doesn’t mean it has to be a difficult one.
Why Dentists Refer to Us
The Referral Process
Educate the Patient
Inform the patient (or their guardian) they’re going to be referred to a surgery center for general anesthesia. Tell them to look out for our call!
Send the Referral
Refer the patient via this website or fax a hard copy to us! We’ll reach out to the patient as soon as we receive the referral. Please don’t just hand the referral to the patient!
Exam Day
During the exam, we’ll make sure the patient meets medical qualifications for general anaesthesia. We’ll also take X-rays and perform an oral evaluation.
Procedure Day
Your patient will be cared for by our anesthesia, dental and nursing teams.
Post-Operation
Once your patient has been treated, we’ll send or deliver a post-op packet with details on the treatment we performed and the patient will return to your care.

Yes! Children or other siblings may attend the appointment. Just a friendly reminder though, this is a hospital setting and the procedure may last 2-5 hours. Keep this in mind when deciding who to bring to the surgery center.
Are parents allowed in the room for the procedure?

Does the parent or guardian need to remain at the surgery center during the procedure?
Yes. Questions about the patient’s dental or health care needs may arise during the procedure and the parent or guardian is needed to answer these questions and be available to make important decisions.
Will my child be completely asleep?
Yes! Anesthesiologists will administer general anesthesia and monitor your child while they are completely asleep.
Does my child need to come with me if a consultation is required?
Yes! The purpose of the consultation is to examine your child in-person and submit the necessary authorizations your insurance requires.
