With the lectures, seminars and clinical workshops held in a variety of dentistry disciplines at the Smile Solutions Institute, you can rest assured that the team of clinicians caring for you is at the forefront of advances in dentistry.

Why Choose a Registered Specialist?

Complex Dentistry 1

Experience is crucial but education is key. There is a significant difference between a registered specialist in any given dental field and a general dentist with a “special interest” in that field. At Smile Solutions you can have the full range of your dental needs taken care of by a general dentist and registered specialists – all in the one location.

Just as medical specialists such as cardiologists, orthopaedic surgeons and gynaecologists are specialist doctors, so it is that endodontists, oral & maxillofacial surgeons, orthodontists, paediatric dentists, periodontists and prosthodontists are registered dental specialists. They are each highly qualified in their specialist field. Registered dental specialists have completed additional university training beyond their general bachelor degree in dentistry. When you receive treatment from a specialist, you can be assured of the highest quality of care.

The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) advises patients to check a practitioner’s registration or qualifications by searching the register on their website or by calling 1300 419 495. Before you undergo any medical or dental procedure you should find out whether your practitioner is suitably qualified and registered to perform the procedure.

Also, when comparing the cost of treatment by one of our specialists at Smile Solutions with that of a clinician from another practice, please ensure that you are comparing the quotation of a specialist with that of another specialist and not with that of a general dentist.

Why Choose Smile Solutions?

At Melbourne’s Smile Solutions, patients whose dental requirements are complex or who need a multidisciplinary approach can be referred internally to our registered specialists. If you require specialist orthodontic, prosthodontic or endodontic treatment, or oral surgery, you can be cared for in the same location because our registered specialists are on hand with your complete set of dental records and X-rays at their fingertips. With multiple clinicians all in the one place, we are able to provide peer review unlike any other practice – and our patients’ best interests are at the forefront of everything we do.
