For patients, that means access to a depth of specialist expertise that genuinely isn't available anywhere else. ## Specialist services tailored to your needs Whether you're dealing with gum disease, considering dental implants, or looking for ongoing periodontal care, Dr Hinckfuss offers a comprehensive range of specialist services built around your individual situation. His approach combines clinical precision with a gentle, caring manner, so you stay informed and at ease throughout your treatment. The specialist services Dr Hinckfuss provides at Smile Solutions include: - **Gum disease treatment** — evidence-based care across all stages of periodontal disease, focused on protecting and preserving your natural teeth - **Implant surgery** — surgical expertise to restore your smile with natural-looking, lasting results - **Bone grafting** — advanced techniques to rebuild the foundation your implants and teeth rely on - **Periodontal maintenance** — personalised plans to keep your gums healthy long-term - **Implant maintenance** — ongoing, specialist-led care to protect your implant outcomes over time Each of these services reflects Dr Hinckfuss's commitment to care that draws on the latest clinical knowledge while keeping your comfort and confidence at the centre of every visit. ## Why dual specialisation matters for you Dr Hinckfuss's dual registration is worth understanding clearly. Periodontics covers the health of your gums and the structures that support your teeth. Prosthodontics covers restoring and replacing teeth. Most patients who need work across both areas are referred between separate practitioners. Dr Hinckfuss, as the only person in Australia registered in both specialties simultaneously, can consider gum health and smile aesthetics together, in the same consultation, as part of a single treatment plan. In practical terms, that means fewer referrals, more joined-up planning, and the confidence of knowing your care sits with someone who holds an unusually broad clinical foundation. ## Visit us in the heart of Melbourne Smile Solutions is located in the Manchester Unity Building at 220 Collins Street, a well-known Gothic Revival landmark in Melbourne's CBD.
