For dental colleagues

For referring dentists

Suncoast Dental partners with dentists across Huron County and beyond on cases that need IV sedation, on-site general anesthesia, advanced implant placement, pediatric care, or CBCT imaging. We handle the surgical or anesthesia work, provide records and follow-up documentation, and return restorative care to your office. We place. You restore.

Why dentists refer to Suncoast

The value to your practice and your patient

On-site GA is the moat. Patients who'd otherwise need a hospital admission for dental treatment have a same-day option here — without losing the patient to a hospital system.
Remote-anchorage implants for the cases you've had to decline. Severe maxillary atrophy, multiple failed conventional implants — zygomatic, pterygoid, trans-sinus, and trans-nasal options are all in-house.
We place. You restore. Records, scans, surgical guides, and post-op imaging come back to your office for the restorative phase. We don't market aesthetic follow-ups to your patient.
CBCT at a referrer discount. Send a patient just for diagnostic imaging if that's what you need — you keep the case, we just take the scan.
Same-day acknowledgement, consult within 5 business days. No black-hole referrals. We confirm receipt and keep you in the loop through the surgical phase.
Pediatric specialty input. Dr. Sean Beattie visits monthly — children who need behavioural or special-needs care get specialist attention without the wait of a city referral.
Case types we accept

What we take on

Implants and bone augmentation — single tooth, All-on-4, All-on-X, teeth-in-a-day, and the full range of remote-anchorage solutions: zygomatic, pterygoid, trans-sinus, and trans-nasal placements for patients with severe maxillary atrophy. Block and socket bone grafting, sinus and nasal lifts, ridge splitting, and Khoury plates are all part of the toolkit. X-Nav navigated surgery available for sub-millimeter precision on complex cases.

Sedation and anesthesia — RCDSO-approved on-site general anesthesia delivered by an anesthesiologist from London Health Sciences Centre. IV moderate sedation provided by Dr. Larsen, Dr. Zeyad Hammad, and Dr. Will Xie. Oral sedation and nitrous oxide also available. Combined-treatment-under-GA is offered for patients with severe dental anxiety, complex cases, or special needs — entire treatment plans can often be completed in a single visit.

Pediatric, oral surgery, and imaging — pediatric care via visiting specialist Dr. Sean Beattie, who comes in once monthly and welcomes referrals from surrounding offices. Wisdom teeth, biopsies, and complex extractions all handled under sedation as needed. CBCT imaging available to local dental offices at a referrer-discount rate — call ahead to schedule diagnostic-only scans.

Implant placement procedure at Suncoast Dental
Our protocol

We place. You restore.

Standard practice at Suncoast: we handle surgical placement and surgical follow-up; restorative work — crowns, bridges, prosthetic teeth, and ongoing restorative maintenance — returns to the referring dentist. Records, 3D scans, surgical guides, treatment-plan documentation, and post-op imaging are provided as part of the case handoff so you have everything you need to restore.

Patient correspondence always references the referring practice. We don't market restorative or aesthetic services back to your patient — no email follow-ups for whitening, veneers, or anything else after the surgical phase is complete.

If a patient prefers Suncoast handle restoration too (no general dentist, or recently moved), we check in with the referring office before proceeding — coordinated decision, not a quiet handoff.

Referral workflow

From first call to restorative handoff

What the process looks like end to end for a typical implant or sedation case referred to Suncoast.

1

Initial contact

Call (226) 22SMILE and ask for the referrals desk, or email info@suncoastdental.ca with subject line "Referral." A quick phone discussion is welcomed before formal referral — happy to talk through whether a patient is a candidate for remote-anchorage implants, single-visit GA, or pediatric specialty input.

2

Records and imaging

Send what you have — recent panoramic, CBCT if you have one (otherwise we'll take ours, and offer CBCT at a referrer-discount rate to local offices for diagnostic-only scans), medical history, and any restorative plan you've already started building.

3

Patient consultation

We see the patient for a free consultation with our own CBCT and a treatment plan. Plan and projected costs go in writing to both patient and referring office before any procedure is scheduled.

4

Surgical or sedation phase

The work is performed under the planned sedation modality — IV moderate or on-site general anesthesia by an LHSC anesthesiologist for complex multi-procedure cases. Surgical guides, X-Nav navigation, and same-day provisionals from our 3D-printing lab as the case calls for.

5

Handoff back to your office

Post-op imaging, surgical notes, healing-stage protocols, and any prosthetic-design files (3D scans, guides) sent back to the referring office. The patient is told the restorative phase is handled by you, and we don't market restorative or aesthetic services to your patient afterward.

Referrals — frequently asked

Common questions from referring dentists and their teams.

No — a phone call or email is enough. For surgical cases, we appreciate any imaging or treatment notes you can share alongside the referral, but the referral itself doesn't require a formal letter. We'll confirm receipt the same day.
Anything that needs on-site general anesthesia, IV moderate sedation, or complex implant placement is a natural fit. Particularly: severely anxious patients you'd otherwise refer to a hospital, patients with severe maxillary atrophy who've been told they aren't candidates for conventional implants, impacted wisdom teeth needing IV or GA, and pediatric cases that benefit from Dr. Beattie's monthly specialist visits.
Default protocol is we place, you restore. Records, scans, surgical guides, and post-op imaging are returned to the referring practice so the restorative phase happens in your office. Patient correspondence references your practice. If a patient prefers Suncoast handle restoration too (no general dentist or recently moved), we contact your office first so it's a coordinated decision.
Yes — we offer CBCT 3D imaging at a referrer-discount rate to local dental offices. Contact us with the patient's case details and we'll arrange a diagnostic-only scan and provide the data. No commitment to refer the case for treatment.
We keep room in the schedule for same-day emergencies — call (226) 22SMILE for trauma, severe pain, abscesses, or knocked-out teeth. Sedation or GA can be arranged within the same day or next day for cases that need it. See our emergency care page for what we cover.
No. No email follow-ups about whitening, veneers, or aesthetic work to patients referred from another office. The restorative phase belongs to your practice.
