A dedicated referral service for the East Midlands
If you have referred to us before, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support. If you are a new referring practitioner, welcome to Lincoln Orthodontics. We hope you find this section helpful and informative. If you have a query, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Patients can either see us for a free, no obligation assessment for orthodontic suitability where they can discuss their options free of charge with our treatment co-ordinator, or they can proceed directly to the initial examination and receive a written treatment plan outlining our aims and management plan. The cost of the full examination is £95. You, the referring dentist, will also receive an orthodontic report summarising your patient's presentation and treatment options.
We promise to:
Send an acknowledgement on receipt of your referral
Treat your patients as you would wish to be treated
Send copies of all of our radiographs for you to keep
Send correspondence throughout your patient's treatment with us
Liaise all appropriate information concerning multi-disciplinary cases
Provide an excellent working relationship
Encourage your patients to see your hygienist if required
Provide a written summary at the end of your patient's treatment
Return your patient back to you at the end of their treatment with increased enthusiasm and confidence with their new smile
Re-refer your patient back to you for whitening unless you specifically request otherwise
See your patients for all appointments to do with their orthodontic retainers, whether fixed or removable for as long as you would like us to after their orthodontic treatment has finished
We request that you:
Include full details of your patient, including a contact telephone number
Include your name or their referring dentist's name on all correspondence
Encourage your patient to maintain excellent oral health throughout their treatment

Carry out any extractions which may be as requested by the orthodontists

We regret that we are currently closed to NHS referrals due to our lengthy waiting lists. We hope to reopen this shortly and will keep you informed of any changes. Any patients seen privately are also graded automatically for NHS suitability under IOTN.
