Referring Your
First Patient
In accordance with guidance issued by the European Commission, we have adopted the best practice which requires dentists who refer patients for CBCT scanning to have a service level agreement in place with their chosen CBCT scanning referral centre.
As per the published dental guidance notes, recommended ‘adequate training’ standard for dental practice staff referring for dental CBCT scans is to complete Level 1 (Core) training in dental CBCT.
We accept referrals with evidence of adequate scan referral training as the guidance notes state that completion of Level Core training in dental CBCT is only the latest recommended adequate training.
Therefore you can continue to refer to us for scans using your previous qualification with the choice of updating your training if you wish to refresh your knowledge.
(All of our Prosthodontists have completed Level 1 and 2 and continue to refer and report on scans).
Service Level Agreement
The service level agreement for our CBCT scanning service ensures compliance with best practice guidance. This necessary agreement will allow you to refer your patients for CBCT scans with appropriate justification. This simply requires you and your colleagues at your practice to:
- confirm that you refer in accordance with published guidance criteria
- confirm that you have fulfilled the standard education requirements in the use of ionising radiation and radiation protection and
- provide certification to show that you have undertaken additional training for CBCT Referrers please read new certification requirements above in red
Please complete and return your agreement along with copies of your relevant CPD certificates as soon as practicable so that you can start to refer patients for scans. Please also complete and return a patient CBCT referral form outlining all of your requirements.

CBCT Scan Referral
Testimonials
I have been using the CBCT referral service at Devonshire house since 2015 and am always pleased with the service and quality of the scans. The online referral form is quick and simple to use. We always receive clear communication regarding the appointments and the scans are instantly emailed back to us in a secure format within 48-72 hours. The whole process is seamless. The radiology reports I receive with each scan are always very thorough and this gives me the reassurance that I have not missed any vital information. I highly recommend this service.

I’ve been referring to DH for CBCT scans for 6 years, first with the postal referral, and later with their online referral system. I have found their service invaluable for my implant planning purposes either full arch scans or smaller 50 by 50mm sections. The patients are contacted by their reception team and scan done by their inhouse radiologist. Communication with us, and the patient through out the process is excellent with scan data sets being emailed to us very quickly afterwards. I have, on occasion, used their radiologist reports which were detailed and concise.Their radiologist, when I’ve needed to speak to her, has been very helpful. I can recommend this professional service to all dentists who don’t have access to their own cbct scan machine.

CBCT Scan FAQs
If you have no scan referral training or indeed don’t wish to become certified, our dentists are happy to refer your patients for scans on your behalf. In this instance, patients will be required to book a 15 minute appointment with one of our dentists, at an additional cost of £85, in order to be assessed for scan suitability.
Following receipt of your service level agreement and certificate to demonstrate you are qualified to refer patients for scans we will be able to accept your referrals.
Following their appointment, your patient’s CBCT scan images and viewing software will be sent to you securely via the password protected website MailBigFile.com.
You will then receive a separate email containing the password and instructions on how to download and view the images and software from our Dental Radiographer Natasha Yeung.
