A Fully Integrated Clinical Team

We work in close partnership with referring dentists to deliver high-quality specialist care, with clear communication at every stage.
If a referral is not addressed to a specific clinician, we will assess the case and allocate it to the most appropriate specialist, or combination of specialists. Our multi-disciplinary approach:
  • Creates a coordinated, joined-up treatment plan
  • Reduces unnecessary appointments
  • Supports high-quality outcomes
  • Ensures care from the right specialist

Referral Guidance

Everything you need to know about our referral process and collaborative approach.
When should I refer a patient?
We recommend referring as soon as you feel specialist input may be beneficial. Early referral allows for comprehensive planning and may expand the treatment options available to your patient.
The quickest and most efficient way to refer is via our secure online referral system. Dentists can register to use our referral portal, enabling faster data entry and streamlined communication.
Yes - however, due to medico-legal considerations, we are unable to provide a prescriptive treatment plan without assuming responsibility for the patient’s care. Any advice provided will be advisory in nature and responsibility for carrying out treatment remains with the referring clinician. If you would like to discuss a case before referring, our team is happy to assist.
Once specialist treatment with Blackhills has been completed, we will return your patient to you for their ongoing routine care. You will receive full communication outlining the treatment provided, together with any relevant clinical findings and recommendations.
