Referring Patients to
Best Dental
Best Dental in Richmond, TX welcomes referrals from primary care physicians, cardiologists, and specialists throughout Fort Bend County. We work with your team to make sure every referred patient gets the care they need.
Referring a Patient to Best Dental
Best Dental is a general and family dental practice in Richmond, TX, led by Dr. Jasmine Naderi and Dr. Sonny Naderi. They are a brother-sister dental team with deep roots in Fort Bend County. Dr. Sonny Naderi completed an oral surgery fellowship at Montefiore Medical Center in 2014, which gave him advanced training in surgical procedures, medically complex patient care, and hospital-based dentistry. That background shapes how he approaches every referred patient. We welcome referrals from primary care physicians, internal medicine providers, cardiologists, OB-GYNs, endocrinologists, and other specialists who need a reliable dental partner for their adult patients.
We know that medically complex patients need more than a standard dental visit. We take time to go through the full medical history, coordinate with your office when it helps, and make sure treatment plans make sense given each patient's overall health. Our goal is to be a dental practice your patients trust and one you feel good about referring to.

Patients We Commonly See
We accept adult referrals across a wide range of medical situations, from routine dental clearance before procedures to ongoing care for patients with chronic conditions that affect oral health.
Pre-Surgical Dental Clearance
Patients scheduled for cardiac procedures, joint replacements, organ transplants, or other surgeries often need dental clearance beforehand. Active oral infections, even ones without symptoms, can raise surgical risk significantly. We evaluate, treat what is needed, and provide written clearance documentation for your surgical team.
Cardiac, Orthopedic, Pre-OpDiabetic Patients with Gum Disease
The link between gum disease and blood sugar control is well established. Periodontal disease makes glycemic control harder, and uncontrolled blood sugar speeds up gum disease. We provide periodontal screening, deep cleaning, and ongoing maintenance for diabetic patients whose oral health is affecting their overall management.
Type 1, Type 2, Periodontal DiseaseCardiovascular Patients
Patients with hypertension, heart disease, or a history of cardiac events need careful handling in the dental setting. Medication interactions, blood pressure monitoring, and stress management all play a role. We take complete medical histories and adjust our approach for every patient referred by a cardiologist or internist.
Hypertension, Heart Disease, AnticoagulantsOB-GYN Referrals
Hormonal changes during pregnancy greatly increase the risk of gingivitis and periodontal disease, which has been linked to preterm birth and low birth weight. We provide safe dental care throughout all trimesters, including cleanings, gum disease treatment, and urgent dental needs, with appropriate precautions for pregnant patients.
Pregnancy Gingivitis, Safe All TrimestersPatients on Complex Medications
Many systemic medications affect oral health directly. Bisphosphonates, blood thinners, immunosuppressants, calcium channel blockers, and antidepressants all have oral implications. We review full medication lists and adjust our treatment approach to keep care safe and appropriate for medically complex patients.
Bisphosphonates, Anticoagulants, ImmunosuppressantsPatients with Active Oral Symptoms
When your patients come in with dental pain, oral lesions, visible decay, jaw swelling, or other oral symptoms during a primary care visit, we are available to see them quickly. We provide a full diagnosis, urgent care when needed, and a clear treatment plan so you can address the oral piece of their overall health picture.
Dental Pain, Oral Lesions, Jaw SwellingOral Conditions We Treat and Co-Manage
Conditions we commonly see in referred adult patients, with management approaches that fit medically complex individuals.
Periodontal Disease
Scaling and root planing, periodontal maintenance, with awareness of systemic implications for diabetic and cardiac patients.
Oral Infections and Abscesses
Prompt diagnosis and treatment of active dental infections, which is especially important before surgical procedures or in immunocompromised patients.
Oral Lesion Evaluation
Clinical evaluation of suspicious oral lesions found during primary care exams. Referral to oral surgery or pathology when needed.
Dry Mouth (Xerostomia)
Management of medication-induced dry mouth, a major cavity risk factor in patients on antidepressants, antihypertensives, and other long-term medications.
Bruxism and TMJ
Custom nightguards and TMJ evaluation for patients with jaw pain, headaches, or tooth wear, which are common in high-stress or anxious patients.
Pre-Surgical Clearance
Full oral evaluation, treatment of active problems, and written clearance documentation for cardiac, orthopedic, and transplant surgical teams.
Tooth Loss and Edentulism
Restorative options for patients with missing teeth including implants, bridges, and dentures, with consideration of bone density and medical history.
Dental Emergencies
Same-day emergency appointments for referred patients with acute dental pain, trauma, or swelling that needs urgent evaluation and care.
📋 A Note on Medically Complex Patients
We are a general dental practice, not a hospital-based dental program. For patients with highly complex or unstable medical conditions such as uncontrolled bleeding disorders, active chemotherapy with severe immunosuppression, or conditions that require general anesthesia in a hospital setting, we evaluate on a case-by-case basis. If a patient's needs go beyond our safe scope, we will tell you clearly and help connect them with the right specialist or hospital dentistry service. We will always communicate openly with your office about what we can and cannot manage safely.
What Referring Providers Can Expect
We understand that when you refer a patient, your reputation is on the line too. Here is what happens after you make the call.
Fast Access for Your Patients
Referred patients are given priority scheduling and are typically seen within the same week. For urgent referrals involving active infection, pain, or tight pre-surgical timelines, we do our best to get them in the same day or next day. Just call (281) 215-3065 and let us know it is a provider referral.
Thorough Medical History Review
Every referred patient goes through a complete medical history intake covering medications, allergies, systemic conditions, and surgical history. We do not skip steps here, especially for patients referred for pre-surgical clearance or those with known cardiovascular or metabolic conditions.
Treatment Summaries Available on Request
We are happy to provide written treatment summaries, clinical notes, or pre-surgical clearance letters to your office. Just let us know when you refer that you would like a summary, or have your patient request it at their appointment. We are working toward more structured provider communication and welcome the conversation.
Honest Assessment of What We Can Handle
If a referred patient's medical situation is beyond the scope of a general dental practice, we will tell you directly and help connect them with the right specialist, whether that is an oral surgeon, a hospital dentistry program, or a periodontist. We will not take on cases that go beyond what we can do safely.
A Practice Your Patients Will Actually Come Back To
Referred patients who have a good experience become long-term patients. Best Dental offers online booking, automated appointment reminders, flexible financing, sedation options for anxious patients, and a comfortable modern office. We make it easy for your patients to follow through on the referral and keep coming back.
