Specialist dental pathways
Specialist dental care through suitable participating dental practices
Odenta helps patients request appointments for specialist dental needs and connect with suitable participating practices or clinicians where the relevant service is available.
About this pathway
Find the right route for a more specific dental need
Specialist requests may include implants, endodontics, periodontics, orthodontics, oral surgery, prosthodontics or paediatric dentistry. The correct pathway and whether a formal referral is needed depend on your circumstances and the receiving provider.
Odenta is an access platform. It does not make referrals, diagnose conditions or provide specialist treatment. A participating practice or clinician reviews your request and determines the appropriate next step.
