Why Refer to us

Your Patients Deserve a Specialist Who Makes Your Job Easier

When you refer a patient for endodontic treatment, you’re trusting someone else with your relationship, your reputation, and your patient’s outcome. We understand that weight. Over 300 general dentists across Orange County trust us with their patients, their staff, and their own family members. Here’s why.

We Respect Your Relationship

Some specialists see referrals as opportunities to expand their patient base. We see them differently. Your patient is YOUR patient. We handle the endodontic treatment and send them back to you for the restoration and continuing care. Period.

We’ve built our practice on this integrity for over 26 years. We don’t suggest other treatments. We don’t schedule hygiene appointments. We don’t market to your patients for services you provide. This isn’t just professional courtesy; it’s fundamental respect for the dentist-patient relationship you’ve worked hard to build.

Clinical Excellence You Can Verify

Dr. Dianat isn’t just board-certified; he’s published over 80 peer-reviewed articles in journals you read. His research on guided endodontics, anesthesia protocols, and irrigation techniques has been cited over 2,500 times. When complex cases appear in your chair, you’re referring to someone who has literally written the textbook chapters on managing them.

Our 95% success rate isn’t marketing rhetoric. It’s measured at one-year follow-up with radiographic healing and symptom resolution. We track every case, every outcome, and we’re transparent about our results. When you refer to us, you know the probability of success before your patient leaves your office.

Same-Day Emergency Acceptance

When your patient calls in severe pain on a Friday afternoon, you need options. We reserve daily emergency slots specifically for referrals. Not “we’ll try to squeeze them in” appointments, but full treatment slots with adequate time for proper care.

Call us at 9 AM with an acute abscess, and we’ll have your patient comfortable by lunch. This isn’t an occasional courtesy; it’s how we’ve structured our schedule for over a decade. Your emergency becomes our priority, protecting your weekend and your patient relationship.

HIPAA-Compliant Communication That Respects Your Time

After treatment, you receive a comprehensive report within 24 hours through secure, encrypted channels including:

  • Detailed diagnosis with supporting images
  • Complete treatment summary with procedural notes
  • Pre-operative and post-operative radiographs
  • Specific restoration recommendations
  • Direct timeline for final restoration
  • Our direct line for any questions

All patient information is transtcalmitted through HIPAA-compliant secure email or our encrypted portal. We never send patient information through regular text or unsecured email. For urgent consultations, we use secure messaging platforms that meet healthcare privacy standards.

Technology That Supports Predictable Outcomes

Our GentleWave system achieves 97% cleaning efficacy in complex anatomy. Our Fotona laser provides bacterial elimination in tubules no irrigant can reach. Our CBCT imaging shows exactly what we’re dealing with before we begin. Our microscopes ensure we don’t miss the MB2 that causes most retreatment cases.

But technology without expertise is just expensive furniture. Dr. Dianat doesn’t just own these tools; he publishes research on their optimal use. When you refer to us, your patient benefits from both advanced technology and the knowledge to maximize its potential.

Making Referrals Seamless and Secure

We know you’re busy. That’s why we offer multiple HIPAA-compliant referral pathways:

Traditional paper slips: Always available, just call and we’ll deliver more Secure online portal: Encrypted and accessible 24/7 at irvineendodontics.com/refer Direct phone line: Bypass the phone tree with our referral hotline Secure digital referrals: Through encrypted platforms only

Your patient’s insurance verification happens before they arrive. We handle the pre-authorization battles. We explain finances clearly so there are no surprises. When patients return to you for restoration, they’re not frustrated by insurance issues, they’re ready for treatment.

Beyond Individual Cases

Dr. Dianat regularly visits referring offices for case discussions, lunch-and-learns, or simply to maintain the relationship. These aren’t sales visits. They’re opportunities to:

  • Review challenging cases together
  • Discuss new techniques and research
  • Answer your team’s endodontic questions
  • Share what we’re seeing in the specialty
  • Listen to your feedback and suggestions

Many of our strongest referral relationships started with a simple conversation over lunch. We believe in partnership, not just professional courtesy.

Your Patients Notice the Difference

When patients return to your office after endodontic treatment, they often comment on their experience. They mention the follow-up phone call they received that evening. They appreciate how our staff helped navigate their insurance coverage. They’re surprised their root canal was more comfortable than previous fillings.

These aren’t just satisfied patients; they’re patients who trust your judgment in referring them to us. That trust strengthens your relationship and makes future treatment recommendations easier.

Let's Connect

Dr. Dianat would love to stop by your office for a friendly visit, case discussion, or team lunch. No pressure, no sales pitch, just colleague-to-colleague conversation about how we can best serve your patients together.
