Welcome to Arnica’s Dental Referral Service
Arnica’s Dental Referral Service
Arnica is Cheltenham’s Dental Sedation Centre and Centre of Excellence for treating nervous, anxious and dental-phobic patients.
We also accept referrals for complex surgical procedures such as sinus lifts, soft tissue grafts and dental implants including the revolutionary All-on-4 dental implant procedure.
Introducing our CBCT scanning referral service. We have recently installed a state-of-the-art Vatech Pax-i3D Smart low-dose CBCT scanner in our new dedicated digital scanning room.

Referrals for dental sedation
As Cheltenham’s Dental Sedation Centre we are the region’s leading dental sedation practice. We are qualified, experienced and equipped to administer intravenous and inhalation sedation essential to treating nervous, anxious and dental-phobic patients who would otherwise not receive the treatment they need.
Since 2001, we have been offering a comprehensive range of dental treatment under sedation – from routine restorative treatment to more complex treatments such as extractions, root canal therapy, crowns, veneers and dental implants.

Referrals for dental implants
Principal dentist and practice owner Dr Ellie Ledger is one of the region’s most experienced implantologists, heading up a team that will work closely with you to provide your patients with:
- single and multiple dental implants
- implant supported bridges
- implant retained dentures
- the revolutionary All-on-4 procedure
- All-on-4 procedure with zygomatic dental implants in cases of low bone density
Arnica has recently invested in a CBCT 3D low-dose digital scanner for faster, more accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Referrals for complex surgical procedures
Including sinus lifts/grafts, alveolar block grafts, soft tissue grafts, apicoectomies
With extensive experience in performing complex surgical procedures including maxillofacial trauma surgery, Dr Ellie Ledger and her team will supplement the care you provide your patients with complex procedures not currently available at your practice.

Benefits to your practice of referring patients to Arnica Dental Care
1. Attract more patients
By supplementing the treatment you offer with our referral treatments you will be able to offer existing and prospective patients a more comprehensive service to rival competitor practices.
2. Complete treatment plans faster
Once we have received your referral form we will contact your patient immediately to book them in for an initial referral examination at a time to suit them. We will then complete treatment as soon as possible, returning the patient to your ongoing care faster than most hospitals and many other referral services.
3. Free up your time to focus on what you do best
Treating patients who are either highly anxious/phobic or require complex surgical procedures can be challenging, time consuming and in many cases not cost effective if you’re not doing it every day like us. Using our referral service will free up your time to concentrate on the treatments you do best, helping you to use your time most effectively and therefore become more profitable.
4. Increase your associate revenue
If you are a frequent referral dentist, we’ll discuss the opportunity of us teaching you how to complete the implant restorations (designing and fitting the implant crown) so that your practice retains this proportion of the dental implant revenue.
