In-office CBCT
Care team collaboration
Your patient, worked together
Every patient you refer gets a case in our referral portal. You stay on the care team from the first CBCT to the last visit.
A case room per patient
Secure messages between your office and our clinicians, in both directions, kept with the case.
Records any time
Upload the full CBCT (DICOM), scans and notes when you send the case or later.
Status at every stage
See where the patient is: received, consultation, treatment plan, treatment.
Reports back to you
Consultation findings, the TMJ and CBCT report and images, released to you in the case.
Records and reports are shared with your office once the patient has agreed to include you in their care team. Our team approves each new office before it can see any patient information.
What you get back
A full TMJ and CBCT report, written to you
Not a one-line note. Each report is addressed to the referring doctor and sets out what we found, what it means and what we are asking of you.
- Clinical TMJ examination: opening, joints, muscles, disc status
- CBCT findings: joint spaces, transverse widths, cephalometric analysis and the airway
- Diagnoses and a phased treatment plan
- What we ask of you, and how we coordinate your treatment with ours
- A link straight into the patient’s case in the referral portal
