Referring a patient
Referrals can be made in the way that suits you, whether through the Referral Portal, by email, or by contacting our referral coordinator. If you would prefer to discuss a case before referring, we are always happy to advise.
Each referral is reviewed carefully before the patient is seen, with assessment and treatment planning carried out within our multidisciplinary team. Once treatment is complete, your patient is returned to your care with full documentation and clear recommendations for ongoing maintenance.
Your patient remains your patient
Treatment is limited to the condition referred, with care planned and delivered in collaboration with you. Once complete, your patient is returned to your care with clear documentation and ongoing recommendations.
For over 30 years, Dawood & Tanner has supported referring dentists across London and beyond, managing cases from single specialist treatments to full-mouth rehabilitation. Care is coordinated across 17 surgeries by a multidisciplinary team working within one practice. On-site CBCT, digital planning and in-house laboratory support keep the treatment process efficient and consistent throughout.
We’re here to extend what you’re able to offer your patients, providing specialist planning, equipment and experience for the cases that benefit from it, working closely with you at every stage.

"Dawood & Tanner go beyond what is expected of a referral practice. Our patients are treated so well and so professionally. They instil great confidence. Thank you! Thank you! for being there."

We have built lasting relationships with referring dentists through the care we provide for their patients and the mutual respect we share.
“Andrew and Susan at Dawood & Tanner have been mentors on my implant journey. They built my confidence to tackle larger cases and they have been at the end of a phone when I’ve needed extra support or answers. Their generosity in allowing me to spend time at their practice means I learnt from them as they treat their own clients, and mine. I am fortunate to have a lovely cohort of patients who appreciate their expertise. It makes the journey into London worthwhile. As a result, my implant practice has leaped forward.”

"Besides the fact that Andrew Dawood and Susan Tanner are recognised experts in the field of implant dentistry, they are extremely approachable and so willing to share their very considerable clinical experience. As a result, I have gained more confidence in treatment planning and carrying out more complex procedures"
– Dr Serge Kotok
