For referring doctors

Your patient comes back to you.

We are a specialist referral practice. We do the surgery, we keep you informed, and we send your patient back for their restorative and routine care. We do not compete with you for it.

What to expect

How a referral runs.

The short version: your patient is seen quickly, you hear from us at every stage, and nothing is done to their restorative plan without talking to you first. Send us the hard ones. Complex cases are reviewed by both of our board-certified periodontists before a plan goes back to you.

  1. We see them promptly Urgent cases — acute infection, a failing implant, a patient in pain — are worked in. Tell us it's urgent when you send it and we'll find room.
  2. You get the consultation report Findings, our diagnosis, the CBCT if we took one, and the treatment plan we've proposed. Before treatment starts, not after.
  3. We plan around your restorative work Implant position is a restorative decision as much as a surgical one. If you have a view on emergence, angulation or what you intend to restore it with, we want it before we place anything.
  4. We stay in our lane We do the surgical phase. Your patient returns to you for the crown, the bridge, the denture and their ongoing care. We don't take on their general dentistry.
  5. You hear when it's done A post-operative note, healing timeline, and a clear indication of when the site is ready for you to restore.
  6. We share the maintenance For periodontal patients we'll usually alternate maintenance visits with your hygienist rather than take the patient off your books.

What we take on

Sending records

Use the form below, or send directly:

Radiographs are helpful but not essential — we'll take a CBCT if the case needs one. If you'd like to discuss a case before referring, ask for Dr. Alkanan or Dr. Saleh and we'll get you a call back rather than a message.

Please don't send patient records through the form below. It is a simple website form and is not a secure channel for protected health information. Send the referral through it if you like, then fax or phone the clinical detail.

Referral form

Refer a patient.

Enough for us to make contact and get them booked. Clinical detail and records by fax, please.

Name, phone and a line about the case is enough. This is an ordinary website form, not a secure channel — please don't put patient records, radiographs or clinical detail in it. Fax those to 509-735-2822 and we'll match them up, or call and ask for Dr. Alkanan or Dr. Saleh.

Study club

Continuing education, locally.

We run a study club for referring dentists in the region — case-based evenings on implant planning, grafting, soft tissue management and periodontal diagnosis, taught by our own doctors and visiting speakers.

The format is deliberately practical: real cases, what worked, what didn't, and what we would do differently. Bring a case you're stuck on.

Dates and topics vary through the year. If you'd like to be on the invitation list, call the practice or mention it in the referral form above and we'll add you.
