Gum recession and mucogingival surgery
Root coverage, soft tissue phenotype modification, connective tissue grafting and aesthetic periodontal concerns.

A referral-respecting pathway for dentists who need advanced periodontal microsurgery, bone regeneration, guided implant planning, soft tissue grafting, sinus lift or surgical second opinions — while keeping the patient relationship clear and collaborative.

Referral clarity
Send the records, clinical question and desired restorative direction.
Collaboration model
The page is intentionally organized around a few strong messages: why refer, which cases fit, how the workflow works and what records are useful. This keeps it premium and easy to scan.
The patient relationship remains with the referring clinician. OsteoPerio supports the surgical phase and communicates clearly around diagnosis, timing and follow-up needs.
Complex cases are approached with photographic documentation, radiographic analysis, CBCT review when available and digital implant planning when clinically indicated.
Periodontal, regenerative and implant cases can be reviewed through a dual-specialist surgical perspective before treatment sequencing is confirmed.
Referral cases can be supported with structured updates, surgical summaries and follow-up recommendations to help the referring clinic continue care confidently.
Cases to refer
Referral is appropriate when a case needs microsurgical soft tissue management, regenerative site development, digital implant planning or a second surgical perspective.
Root coverage, soft tissue phenotype modification, connective tissue grafting and aesthetic periodontal concerns.
Horizontal and vertical ridge defects, implant-site development and regenerative planning for complex anatomy.
Cases with limited bone height, posterior maxillary implant planning and staged regenerative protocols.
Digital planning, surgical guide design and guided implant placement when the anatomy and treatment plan support it.
Soft tissue deficiencies, aesthetic implant concerns, peri-implant tissue instability and complex second opinions.
Specialist input for complex periodontal, regenerative, implant or previously treated cases requiring a clear surgical strategy.
Digital referral workflow
Digital planning, CBCT review, guide workflows and restorative communication are used when they add value to the case. Guided surgery supports precision, but it does not replace diagnosis or surgical judgment.
Share the reason for referral, the specific surgical question, relevant records and whether the patient should return to your clinic for restorative or maintenance care.
The case is reviewed for complexity, missing diagnostic information, CBCT or X-ray needs, and whether a consultation, surgical plan or second opinion is the appropriate next step.
When treatment is accepted, the surgical sequence, timing, digital planning requirements, materials and follow-up responsibilities are clarified.
After the surgical phase, relevant recommendations and follow-up information can be shared so the referring clinic can continue care with context.
What to send
A referral does not need to be perfect before you contact us. Send what you have, and the missing records can be requested before consultation or surgery planning.
Smile, frontal, occlusal, lateral and close-up photos of the involved area when possible.
Periapicals, panoramic X-ray and CBCT when available, especially for implant, sinus and regeneration planning.
Periodontal status, previous grafting, previous implants, prosthetic history, medication, smoking and relevant medical context.
Ideal tooth position, prosthetic plan, provisional plan, occlusal concerns or final restoration expectations.
Whether the patient should be treated only for the surgical phase and then returned to your clinic for restoration and maintenance.
Referral FAQ
The goal is to make collaboration easy, respectful and clinically useful for the patient and the referring clinic.
Yes. Referral cases can be limited to periodontal, regenerative, soft tissue or implant surgery, with the patient returning to the referring clinic for restorative treatment, maintenance or long-term care when appropriate.
Yes. A concise clinical question with X-rays, CBCT, photos and treatment history helps determine whether the case requires consultation, additional diagnostics or surgical planning.
No. Guided implant surgery is used when clinically indicated and when the records, anatomy and treatment plan support its use. Surgical judgment remains essential.
Yes. Implant position, soft tissue objectives and timing can be coordinated around the restorative plan when the information is available before surgery.
Yes. Referring doctors can send records digitally. The patient pathway depends on diagnostic completeness, urgency, travel context and case complexity.

For complex cases, include the diagnosis, radiographs or CBCT if available, the restorative objective and whether the patient should return to your clinic after the surgical phase.
