Specialist treatment at the Collins Street Specialist Centre addresses complex dental problems that require multi-disciplinary expertise. But once that specialist phase is complete, your ongoing dental care - the regular check-ups, cleans and monitoring that keep everything healthy - does not need to happen in the CBD. That is where Core Dental comes in.
As part of the Smile Solutions Group, Core Dental practices maintain connected records and direct communication channels with the specialist team. When your specialist treatment concludes, your Core Dental dentist receives a detailed handover covering what was done, what to monitor and what the maintenance schedule should be.
This is not a cold referral to an unrelated practice. It is continuity within the same group, with practitioners who share clinical systems and can consult each other directly when questions arise during your ongoing care.
Dental implants placed at the Collins Street Specialist Centre require diligent ongoing maintenance to ensure long-term success. Regular professional cleans around implants, monitoring of bone levels, checking the condition of the prosthetic components and managing gum health around implant sites - all of this can happen at your local Core Dental practice.
Your Core Dental hygienist and dentist follow the maintenance protocol set by the specialist team. If any concern arises during a routine visit - unusual bone changes, a loose component, gum inflammation that is not responding - your Core Dental dentist can consult directly with the specialist who placed your implants.
After orthodontic treatment at Smile Solutions - whether traditional braces or clear aligners - the retention phase is critical. Retainers must be worn as prescribed, and regular monitoring ensures teeth remain in their corrected positions.
Retention monitoring appointments, retainer checks and adjustments can all be managed at your local Core Dental practice. The orthodontic team provides detailed retention protocols, and your Core Dental dentist monitors compliance and stability at each routine visit.
Patients who have undergone oral surgery, periodontal treatment or other specialist procedures at the Collins Street Specialist Centre can transition their routine care to Core Dental once the active treatment phase is complete. Regular monitoring ensures the results of specialist treatment are maintained, and early detection of any issues means prompt re-referral if needed.
If you are looking for everyday dental care closer to home, the Smile Solutions Group also operates Core Dental practices across suburban Melbourne. The group structure means your dental history follows you. Whether you had implants placed, veneers fitted, orthodontic treatment completed or periodontal surgery performed at Smile Solutions, your ongoing care at Core Dental is informed by that specialist history.
You get the convenience of suburban dental care with the confidence that comes from knowing your practice is directly connected to the specialist centre where your complex treatment was performed - a centre with 25+ specialists, 80 clinicians and over 300,000 patients treated across 33 years.
