Referring Doctors
When a patient needs care beyond what general dentistry can offer, the quality of the referral matters. Complex restorations, full-arch implant cases, and the kind of aesthetic challenges that demand both surgical precision and artistic sensibility require a specialist with the training, technology, and track record to deliver. For general dentists and dental professionals across the New York metro area, our practice welcomes your referred patients and treats that referral with the respect it deserves.
At Nargiz Schmidt, DDS, we are a prosthodontic practice located in Midtown East near Grand Central, built around the principle that every patient who comes through our doors should receive care that is thoughtful, minimally invasive wherever possible, and grounded in long-term outcomes. Dr. Schmidt brings over 20 years of clinical experience, has lectured internationally on minimally invasive aesthetics and full-arch restoration, and works exclusively with a digital workflow to ensure precision at every stage of treatment. When you refer a patient to us, you are sending them to a practice that has made a career of handling cases that most clinics are not equipped to handle.
Cases We Welcome From Referring Doctors
Our practice is built to receive the full range of complex restorative and aesthetic cases that general dentists regularly encounter but may not perform in-house. We understand that when you refer, you are trusting us with a patient relationship you have built, and we take that seriously.
The cases most commonly referred to our practice include patients requiring All-on-4 or All-on-6 full-arch implant restorations, full-mouth reconstruction, implant-supported dentures, complete or partial dentures, smile makeovers involving multiple disciplines, and composite bonding or gum contouring for patients seeking a minimally invasive aesthetic result. We also welcome patients with dental anxiety who have had difficulty completing treatment elsewhere. Dr. Schmidt has a long track record of working successfully with this population, and many of these patients have remained with our practice for years as a result.
Our Commitment to Your Patient Relationship
We recognize a fundamental truth in specialist referrals: your patients are your patients. Our role is to complete the treatment they need and return them to your care with thorough documentation, clear communication, and the same respect for the relationship you have built. We do not solicit referred patients for ongoing general care that falls outside our specialty scope.
Following each completed treatment, referring doctors receive a full summary of the work performed, the materials used, and any recommendations relevant to ongoing maintenance. We believe a strong referral partnership is built on transparency, and we prioritize communication throughout the treatment process. If questions arise at any point, Dr. Schmidt is accessible to referring colleagues directly.
Why Referring Doctors Choose Our Practice
Prosthodontics is recognized by the American Dental Association as one of only nine dental specialties, and the scope of that training has direct implications for the outcomes your patients can expect. Dr. Schmidt completed advanced prosthodontic training and has continued to develop her practice around digital dentistry, minimally invasive techniques, and full-arch rehabilitation. She lectures internationally in these areas, so the methodology she applies to your referred patients reflects the current standard of the field.
Our practice operates on a fee-for-service model, meaning we are not constrained by insurance-driven treatment limitations. This allows us to focus entirely on what is clinically appropriate and aesthetically optimal for each patient you send us. We use a fully digital workflow for diagnostics, treatment planning, and fabrication, which improves both accuracy and the patient experience from consultation through delivery.
