FAQs

Can I refer a patient to Dental Vet?

Absolutely! At Dental Vet we are passionate about dentistry. Our years of experience and international training allow us to help you provide your clients and patients with gold-standard care.

We welcome referrals for dental consultations, diagnosis and treatment of advanced equine dental cases, including endodontics, restorations, pulp capping, infundibular caries treatment, extractions, and periodontal disease. All you need to do is complete a referral form.

We are also always happy to review and interpret follow-up radiographs free of charge, and for larger practices, we can arrange a complimentary continuing-education (CE) evening on equine dentistry.

After every referral, we provide detailed reports and images to support seamless continuity of care for your patients.

How do I refer a patient to Dental Vet?

To help us collect all the necessary case information accurately, we prefer referrals be submitted via our online referral form. However, we’re also happy to accept referrals by email or phone if needed.

We can perform procedures at your clinic (for suitable cases) or at our Forrestdale facility.

How does Dental Vet support referring vets?

We’re here to support you every step of the way. At Dental Vet, we believe in building collaborative relationships with our referring veterinarians to ensure seamless, gold-standard care for every patient.

We provide detailed reports, images, and diagnostic and post-treatment notes to keep you fully informed throughout each case. We also share research and up-to-date practical resources to help you deliver the best possible care to your patients.

We offer continuing education and hands-on dental courses for veterinarians. These are designed to build confidence, refine skills, and support ongoing professional development.

In addition, we offer a range of dental tools for purchase to help veterinarians manage dental cases more effectively in their own practices.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to give us a call at (08) 9397 1286

Will you keep me updated on the progress of my referred patient?

Of course! As veterinarians ourselves, we know how important it is to stay informed about your patient’s treatment and progress. That’s why we provide a report, dental images, and post-treatment notes after every appointment.

Can I discuss a patient's case before formally referring?

Yes, we’re always happy to discuss cases with referring veterinarians to determine the best treatment options for your patients.

We understand that if you have not worked with us before, you may have questions about what’s possible and how we can support you and your client. We’re here to guide you through the process so that you can feel comfortable referring your patient to us.

What information should I provide when referring a patient?

When referring a case to Dental Vet, please include as much detail as possible so our team can plan informed, safe and efficient care for your patient.

Where possible please provide the following:

  • A brief summary of the reason for referral and any expectations you or the client may have for treatment.
  • Up-to-date medical and dental history, including clinical notes.
  • Images or diagnostic results, if available (intraoral photos or endoscopy images are particularly helpful, as are any dental radiographs).
  • A list of any medications, health issues, or comorbidities.

We’ll review all of this information and confirm suitability for standing sedation, then contact both you and the owner to finalise scheduling. Referring vets will receive a full report and imagery to support ongoing care.

Can you accommodate urgent referrals?

Where possible we will accommodate urgent referrals. Please call us as soon as possible so that we can help.

How do referrals benefit my clinic?

Partnering with Dental Vet allows you to:

  • Offer gold-standard restorative and endodontic options rather than extractions.
  • Retain client trust and continuity. We will work with you on a collaborative relationship as needed.
  • Access to advanced dental equipment and expertise without the need for additional investment.
  • Encourage clients to preserve teeth rather than extract, helping to elevate the overall standard of care within your clinic.

How can I access educational resources?

Yes, our Resources Library includes downloadable information sheets created by our veterinary team.

These cover topics such as common dental conditions, prevention strategies, and treatment explanations. They’re designed to help horse owners and vets across Western Australia make informed, evidence-based decisions.

Do you offer CPD or case discussions?

Yes! If you would like to discuss a case or learn more about a specific area of equine dentistry, get in touch! We can arrange a complimentary continuing-education (CE) evening for your practice or provide case-specific consultations on request. We also run multi-day equine dentistry training courses for veterinarians. Contact us to find out more.
