When general dentists refer to prosthodontists

  • Implant-supported fixed and removable prostheses
  • Severe tooth wear or occlusal instability
  • Maxillofacial prosthetics following surgery or trauma
  • Remakes where previous prosthodontic work has repeatedly failed

Indications describe what this specialty treats. They are not treatment advice for any individual patient — that judgement stays with the treating clinician.

What to include with the referral

  • Current radiographs and intraoral photographs
  • Existing prostheses and what has failed about them
  • The patient’s functional and aesthetic priorities
  • Any parafunction, and whether a splint has been tried

What comes back

A prosthodontic plan with the proposed design, materials and stages, and the division of work — complex cases usually run in parallel with the referring practice rather than being handed over entirely.

Dental Refer closes that loop in the record rather than by fax: the specialist report returns against the original referral, so the referring practice can see which cases are still open. Read more about how referrals are transmitted and the HIPAA posture behind it.
