Refer a patient
Predictable referrals, clear records requirements, and closed-loop communication for dentists and orthodontists. Choose the path that matches your patient's urgency.
Referrals centered around your patients.
When you send a patient to Warren Oral Surgery, they stay your patient. We confirm receipt, coordinate records and imaging, treat within the scope you referred, and close the loop with a post-operative report — so your treatment plan continues without guesswork.
Urgent cases get a direct phone path to our team the same day you call.
Start here
Emergency or routine?
Urgent patients get a phone-first path. Routine referrals follow the records checklist below.
Emergency referral
For acute infection, trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, or post-operative complications, call us directly so we can triage and see your patient promptly. Do not route urgent cases through written referrals.
Referral line: 908-520-2694
Patients you send with urgent symptoms can review our emergency oral surgery guidance, including the red flags that belong in an emergency department.
Routine referral
For planned extractions, implant evaluation, pathology review, impacted canines, and other non-urgent care: send the records listed below by phone and we will contact your patient to schedule.
- Phone: 908-520-2694

Records
What to include with a referral
Complete records let us schedule the right visit length and avoid repeat imaging.
Referral note
The reason for referral, the teeth or sites involved, and any specific question you want answered.
Imaging, with dates
Recent radiographs or CBCT volumes, labeled with acquisition dates, so we can judge whether new imaging is needed.
Relevant health history
Medical conditions, current medications, anticoagulation status, and anything bearing on anesthesia planning.
Orthodontic plan, if applicable
For impacted canines and surgical exposure cases: the treatment plan and desired eruption path from the orthodontist.
Communication
What you can expect from us
For you as the referrer
- Acknowledgement that your referral was received and your patient was contacted. Turnaround expectation: we typically respond within one business day
- A post-operative report after treatment, including findings, what was done, and any follow-up we recommend on your side.
- A direct conversation with the treating surgeon whenever you want to discuss a case before or after referral.
For your patients
- A calm, clearly explained consultation covering options, comfort and anesthesia choices, and costs before treatment.
- Written pre- and post-operative instructions, with a direct line for questions during recovery.
- A plan that respects your restorative or orthodontic treatment goals — we coordinate rather than redirect care.

How patient information is handled
Referral records are used only for evaluating and treating the referred patient and for coordinating care with your office. Until a secure, BAA-covered electronic channel is validated, we ask that records travel by phone or fax rather than email or web forms.
Website contact forms on this site are general-purpose and explicitly warn patients not to include health details; they are not a PHI channel. Questions about our privacy practices can be directed to the office at 908-520-2694.
