Dr. Karen Davis Dentistry welcomes referrals from physicians, midwives, lactation consultants, speech-language pathologists, myofunctional therapists, naturopaths, and other healthcare providers across Sarnia, Lambton County, and beyond.
Services Accepting Referrals
We accept patient referrals for the following services:
Lip Tie and Tongue Tie Assessment and Laser Frenectomy Infants with feeding difficulties, children with speech or oral function concerns, and adults with restricted lingual or labial frenulum. Assessment focuses on functional restriction. Treatment is performed using a CO₂ dental laser. We work collaboratively with the referring provider and, where appropriate, with lactation consultants, speech-language pathologists, and myofunctional therapists as part of the care plan.
Sleep Apnea and Snoring Treatment Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (via sleep study) who may benefit from custom oral appliance therapy as an alternative or adjunct to CPAP. Patients with primary snoring who may be candidates for laser-assisted soft tissue treatment. We coordinate care with the referring sleep physician throughout treatment.
Therapeutic Botox for TMJ Disorders and Bruxism Patients with temporomandibular joint disorders, chronic bruxism, or muscle-tension-related facial pain who may benefit from targeted botulinum toxin therapy as part of a broader management approach.
Dental Implant Consultation Patients requiring single-tooth, multi-tooth, or full-arch implant assessment and treatment planning, including cases that may require bone grafting evaluation.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation for Patients with Medical Complexity Patients who require dental treatment with sedation support due to anxiety, medical conditions, or other considerations.

For Patients
If you are a patient looking to book an appointment directly, please visit our Contact page or call our office. A referral from another healthcare provider is not required for most dental services — you are welcome to contact us directly.
For sleep apnea treatment, a sleep study ordered by a physician is required before oral appliance therapy can begin. If you have not yet had a sleep study, we can help guide you to the appropriate next step.
