We are fortunate to have Specialists at Bancroft Dentistry and dental professionals who can offer treatments for patients that other practices can’t always offer.
We are delighted to receive your patient referrals. We aim to answer most of your queries about this service here.
At Bancroft Dentistry in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, we can offer second opinions and treatments for Periodontology, Restorative Dentistry, Treatment under IV Sedation, Dental Implants and Oral Surgery.
What happens with this process, what happens to your patients and other questions are answered here.
Some of the questions we hear most often from our fellow dental healthcare professionals…
Of course. We will only undertake the work you prescribe, and will always keep you fully informed as to how the treatment has progressed.
On completion, any X-rays provided will be returned to you. If, of course, you would prefer us to take full care of your patient, this can be arranged.
IV Sedation is £195 per session. We’ll aim to complete as much work as we can per appointment.
As a general rule of thumb, we find that patients respond best to no more than two hours of work under IV sedation at one time.
Please provide us with as much information about the patient as possible, a full medical history and ideally a dental history that includes their response to dentistry so far.
If you can supply any digital radiographs please email them to us along with the referral form, alternatively send us original films which we will return upon completion of treatment.
All our practitioners are SAAD trained and follow the GDC ‘Maintaining Standards’ guidelines for the provision of IV Sedation.
IV Sedation for patients under 16 years of age is not generally condoned by the GDC.
There are no hard and fast contraindications for treating the elderly provided that their health falls within American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) grades I or II – please speak to us for advice if you are unsure of your patient’s suitability for this procedure.
We would like to hear from you for an enquiry about becoming a Bancroft patient or perhaps about a particular treatment.
We welcome everyone to meet our team and look around the practice.
