Referral Information

Dentists trust us, Patients love us.

Communication

There are several ways that we can work together to enhance the patient’s experience in our practice. We have found that communication is the key to accurately fulfilling your patient’s needs. We have always felt comfortable calling a patient’s dentist if a question arises about their treatment plan. Please feel free to contact us by phone, fax or email if you have any special requests or information that you need to relate about your patient’s care.

Online Referral Form

You may refer patients to our office by filling out our secure online Referral Form, referring doctors please call the office at (310) 649-3636. The security and privacy of patient data is one of our primary concerns and we have taken every precaution to protect it.

We have set aside emergency appointments every day for your patients who are in pain and need to be seen on the same day. We will make every effort to appoint Endodontic emergency cases within 24 hours. Please call us as early in the day as possible so that we can allocate that emergency appointment to your patient. Even if we cannot perform the complete root canal, we can usually see the patient for an emergency procedure to relieve them from pain. If you would like to institute pain management protocols prior to the patient’s appointment, such as long-lasting local anesthetic, a pulpotomy, oral analgesic, or antibiotic therapy, we can help you decide which protocol will make your patient most comfortable until treatment can be provided.

Patient Instructions

By giving the patient-specific information about their endodontic visit, you can help us to meet your patient’s expectations. Please encourage patients to use this website to help educate them on what to expect and about EndodonticsLA. A full diagnostic workup will be performed on each patient at the initial visit, including radiographs and periodontal probing. Also, because AHA guidelines specify that periodontal probing requires antibiotic prophylaxis in patients susceptible to bacterial endocarditis, please ensure that these patients will be given an appropriate prophylactic dose prior to appointments, even if treatment is not anticipated.

Health History

We need an accurate medical history from your patients in order to provide them with the highest standard of care. For patients comfortable with computers, please encourage them to use the Internet to log onto this website, browse the educational materials and fill out their patient history forms. It’s easy to fill out and we ensure the privacy of your patient’s personal information. Filling out the form online will expedite the registration process and help us to return them to you in a timely manner.

Once again, thank you for your confidence in EndodonticsLA.
