Can I make an appointment myself, or do I need a referral?

You can often make an appointment with a periodontist or implantologist without a referral. However, some practices do ask for a referral from your dentist. A referral letter contains information about the condition of your teeth and your dental history. If you have a complex medical history, consultation with other healthcare providers may be necessary. Contact the practice to ask what is required in your situation. You can usually get in touch directly by telephone or via the website. A referral letter is often not needed for an initial informative consultation. You can usually also make an appointment yourself for a second opinion. When making the appointment, let us know what you are coming for. That way, the practice can schedule enough time for you.
