Onboarding
How implant referrals work
You contact us with the case details. Phone or email. Dr. Andrew or the team will respond.
The patient is offered a free consultation and Free CT scans at Love Implants. No charge to the patient or to you.
Dr. Andrew assesses the case and discusses the proposed plan with you before treatment begins. You stay involved in the clinical decisions about your patient.
Treatment is delivered at Love Implants. Dr. Andrew does the implant placement and any associated surgical work.
The patient is returned to you for ongoing dental care, restorative work, hygiene, and routine examinations.
If you'd prefer to do the restorative work on the implant once it's integrated, that's fine. If you'd prefer Dr. Andrew to handle the crown or bridge as well, that's also fine. The split is up to you and your patient.
Practice Ethics
Why dentists refer to Love Implants
Patient retention. Implants are the kind of treatment patients remember, talk about, and rate their dentist on. When you refer to an implant practice that treats your patient well and sends them back, your relationship with the patient strengthens.
Clinical experience. Dr. Andrew has placed over 7,000 implants and has built a practice around the cases that need someone experienced. Routine cases are routine. Complex cases benefit from someone who's seen the unusual before.
Free CT scans for your patient. No imaging cost for the patient or for you. Dr Andrew reviews the scan with the patient at the consultation and reports back to you.
Half the UK average price for the patient. The patient isn't going to come back complaining about the cost of the work you referred them for.
Fees: CT scan and assessment: no charge. £1000 for each implant placement + £500 for GBR/simple bone grafting or £950 per sinus lift. £500 for a monolithic screw retained zirconia crown with custom abutment.
