Professional Referrals
Endodontic treatment at Pitt Dental Medicine is by referral.
Your dentist should fax a letter of referral to 412-383-9478.
The letter should contain the nature of the problem and the patient's contact information. After your dentist faxes your referral, please call 412-624-7985 to schedule your appointment. We are unable to schedule an appointment without a letter of referral.
