We uphold a strict policy that ensures only the treatment prescribed by the referring practitioner is carried out by our specialists. Under no circumstances will our clinicians perform any treatment outside the terms of the original referral without prior consent from the referring clinician. We do not provide general dental services.

Our Multidisciplinary Approach

We offer truly integrated treatment, with all specialists available for joint consultations when needed. Our clinicians uphold the same high clinical standards and share a patient-first ethos, ensuring that every aspect of your care is tailored to your individual needs. This collaborative team approach consistently leads to the best possible outcomes for our patients.

Ultimately, successful treatment relies on the skill of our clinicians and their compassionate approach to your care. We are dedicated to fostering a supportive environment where your comfort and well-being are our top priorities.

We pride ourselves on our strong reputation for collaboration and support among our referring colleagues. All clinicians at Link House are actively engaged in high-quality research and frequently lecture and publish to benefit the wider dental community. Of course, personal development also dictates that we spend many hours each year on our own continuing postgraduate education.

We are supported by an excellent team of clinical, laboratory and administrative support staff to enable us to give you and your patients a level of service that is truly excellent – as you would expect from a dedicated multidisciplinary specialist practice.
