The referral form
Send a referral
Send us what you have and we’ll take it from there. We’ll contact the patient to arrange the consultation and copy you on the treatment plan.
Records and images: do not attach them to a web form. Call the office and we’ll give you a secure route.
What we treat
Services and treatments we offer.
Comprehensive orthodontics for children, teens and adults. Early interceptive treatment and expansion. Clear aligner therapy, Dr. Garrett now treats more cases with aligners than with fixed appliances and sat on Invisalign’s doctor panels in the system’s early years. Surgical cases, planned and coordinated with the oral surgeon of your patient’s choosing.
3D cone beam imaging on site, Garrett was one of the first practices on the Central Coast with the machine, plus intraoral scanning and an in-office laser for exposures.
What we send back, and when.
After the consultation
The diagnosis, the treatment plan and the estimated duration.
During treatment
Progress notes at the stages that matter to your own planning.
At debond
Final records and the retention plan. Retention →
If a case needs restorative work before, during or after treatment, Dr. Garrett will call you rather than send a letter.
