Dentist referral

We accept referrals by phone, letter or via our secure online referral portal, Valident.

We work closely with our referring colleagues to ensure continued dental support and all patients referred are returned to their dentist and hygienist once our work is completed.

Only the prescribed referral request will be addressed. Under no circumstances will patients be allowed to be seen for routine dentistry or other non-prescribed treatments.

Relationships built on trust

We are proud to work with over 50 dental practices across London, who trust us to treat their patients effectively and responsibly.

Only the prescribed referral request will be addressed. Under no circumstances will patients be allowed to be seen for routine dentistry or other non-prescribed treatments.

We are acutely aware of the challenges faced by dentists and wherever possible, aim to relieve some of these stresses. We also believe in supporting our referral practices by hosting regular CPD events, such as Lunch & Learns and hands-on workshops, and also social events such as the IKON Summer Party and curry nights hosted by TV chef, Dipna Anand.

As a practice, we appreciate the trust placed in us and the responsibility we have to our referring practices to provide the best possible level of service. We are proud of the relationships we have developed with our referring practices.
