We understand that referring a patient is a significant decision. That’s why we’ve developed a Rapid Access Referral Pathway specifically for dental practices — a streamlined, transparent process that gets your patient seen quickly, keeps you informed throughout, and returns them to your care on completion.
This pathway is available exclusively to referring practices and is not publicly advertised.
Complex restorative cases don’t always fit neatly into a standard referral process. Patients may have been waiting, may have tried other routes, or may be reaching a point where delayed treatment is affecting their quality of life.
Through this pathway, referring practices benefit from:
You refer. We treat. We return.
Dr. Hiren Vaghela, BDS, Prosthodontist, East Park Dental
Dr. Vaghela accepts referrals across the full scope of complex restorative dentistry, including:
Dr. Vaghela has completed his full prosthodontic training and is currently awaiting addition to the GDC Specialist Register. He has a particular interest in cases where previous restorative attempts have fallen short — and in achieving outcomes that are both functionally sound and aesthetically excellent.

We know that clarity around the referral process is what makes referring feel safe. Here is exactly what to expect:
1. Referral Received Your referral is acknowledged within 2 working days. We confirm receipt and provide the patient’s appointment date directly to your practice.
2. Patient Contacted Our team contacts the patient to book their initial consultation. We aim to offer an appointment within 2 weeks of referral through this pathway.
3. Initial Consultation Dr. Vaghela conducts a comprehensive assessment. A written report is prepared and sent to your practice to keep you informed throughout.
4. Treatment Plan Shared Before any treatment commences, the proposed plan is shared with your practice. You are kept informed and can discuss the case directly with Dr. Vaghela if needed.
5. Treatment Where treatment spans multiple appointments, we provide milestone updates to your practice at agreed intervals. You are never left without information on how your patient is progressing.
6. Completion and Discharge On completion of treatment, a full discharge summary is sent to your practice. Your patient is returned to your ongoing care — with all relevant clinical records.
Referrals through this pathway can be made by:
Dr. Vaghela’s initial consultation fee is £150, which includes a written report to your practice.
If you would like to discuss a case informally before referring, Dr. Vaghela is happy to take a call. Please ring the practice and our team will arrange a convenient time.
Some cases benefit from a brief conversation before a formal referral is made. Common referral triggers include:
If you’re on the fence — call us. There’s no obligation, and Dr. Vaghela is accessible.
