Coordinated orthodontic care alongside your trusted health team
Reviewed and approved by Dr. Cameron Freelove, DDS, MS · Last updated
The Freelove Referral Network
Orthodontic treatment rarely happens in isolation. Freelove works alongside pediatric dentists, general dentists, oral surgeons, ENT physicians, periodontal providers, and myofunctional therapists across Kent, Sammamish, and the wider King County area. Dr. Freelove reviews every referral personally, and every new patient receives a digital intraoral scan and airway screening at the first visit, so referring providers receive complete diagnostic findings in return.
Partner Categories
- Pediatric Dentistry. The Sammamish office is co-located with Lake Sammamish Kid’s Dentistry, led by pediatric dentist Dr. Annikka Freelove, so families can coordinate pediatric dental and orthodontic care in one location. Referrals from pediatric dentists across King County are welcome.
- General Dentistry. Restorative and cosmetic cases that need orthodontic setup first, such as space creation for implants or alignment before restorative work, are planned jointly with the patient’s general dentist.
- Oral Surgery. The majority of surgical cases, including impacted canine exposure and orthognathic surgery, are coordinated with PNWOMS, and Dr. Freelove works with many oral surgeons across the community.
- ENT and Sleep Medicine. Airway findings from CBCT screening are referred to local ENT physicians for evaluation of sleep-disordered breathing and nasal airway concerns when indicated.
- Myofunctional Therapy. Tongue posture, tongue thrust, and airway-related habits are co-managed with local myofunctional therapy providers when interdisciplinary support benefits the case.
- Periodontal Care. Patients with active periodontal disease are stabilized with their dentist or periodontist first; Dr. Freelove does not recommend orthodontic treatment until those conditions are under control.
How Dr. Freelove Coordinates Care
Coordination starts with records. Every new patient receives a digital intraoral scan, with imaging selected for each patient’s clinical needs, and Dr. Freelove shares relevant findings, including airway analysis, with the referring provider. For MARPE expansion cases, Dr. Freelove places the mini-screws in-office, so no separate surgical referral is needed for placement. Surgical orthodontic cases are planned jointly with the oral surgeon from the records stage forward.

For Referring Doctors
Referring a patient takes under two minutes. The patient is sent. Freelove Orthodontics & Smile Design handles the rest, consultation, imaging, treatment plan, and progress reports back to the referring office.
-
Refer
Call either office, Kent at (253) 852-7331 or Sammamish at (425) 651-2778, or have the patient schedule directly and name the referring practice. Existing records and imaging can be sent to Kent at office@freeloveorthodontics.com or Sammamish at sammamish@freeloveorthodontics.com ahead of the visit.
-
Evaluate
Dr. Freelove personally examines every referred patient. The consultation is free and includes a digital intraoral scan and airway screening, with imaging selected for each patient’s clinical needs, so the referring provider’s clinical question is answered with digital records and clinically indicated imaging rather than a visual estimate.
-
Report
The referring office receives Dr. Freelove’s findings and the recommended treatment plan, and patients remain with their referring dentist for ongoing dental care throughout orthodontic treatment.
