Dental Dreams Fax Number — Send a Specialist Referral
A referral to Dental Dreams starts with the general dentist sending a packet — the referral form plus the recent records — ahead of the appointment. Dental Dreams, a dental practice brand based in Chicago, Illinois, handles records, referrals, and claims across its offices. Because the packet carries protected health information, this page covers what to send and how to get it there securely.

How a referral to Dental Dreams works
The specialist at Dental Dreams reviews the referral, the X-rays, and any CBCT before the appointment, so those are sent in advance. Many specialty offices now offer an e-referral portal, so confirm whether the packet should go by fax or upload. Keep the transmission confirmation, since an appointment can turn on the records arriving first.
One brand, many fax lines at Dental Dreams
A records request or a claim for Dental Dreams routes to the exact office holding the chart, not a central line. A vague destination is the usual reason a fax bounces between Dental Dreams offices. Send the full packet at once so processing is not waiting on a second fax.
HIPAA and your fax to Dental Dreams
Anything with a patient's history or identifiers headed to Dental Dreams is protected data under HIPAA. Under HIPAA, the transport for protected health information should be secure rather than a public or ad-supported one. Send FAX Mail encrypts pages in transit and keeps a confirmation of delivery — a safer route to Dental Dreams than a public machine, from $12.99/month.
Faxing to Dental Dreams — FAQ
Dental records are protected health information, and a dental practice is a HIPAA covered entity. Your signature on a HIPAA release is what starts the transfer. Even though it is your own record, a secure channel keeps it out of the wrong hands.
Increasingly, parts of the process at Dental Dreams move online. Many claims now move through a clearinghouse like DentalXChange rather than fax. So confirm Dental Dreams still accepts fax before you send, and use its portal when that is what it asks for. Confirming the channel first is the honest shortcut with Dental Dreams.
The current line comes from the office itself, so ask the staff for it. Call Dental Dreams and ask the specific office or its records team for the current office fax. Confirming the line first is a two-minute step that prevents a misdirected document. Note the number the first time so a later fax to Dental Dreams is quicker.
A records release, a set of X-rays, and a predetermination request are the documents most often sent. A prior office might send new-patient records when a patient transfers in. Whatever the document, put the patient's name and date of birth on every page. Most of these are a few pages, so they fax quickly once you have the line.
