## Overview: General dentistry at Smile Solutions

General dentistry at Smile Solutions covers the full range of everyday dental care — routine check-ups, professional cleans, fillings, wisdom teeth removal, TMD management, sports mouthguards, and emergency treatment. It's the foundation the entire Smile Solutions model is built on, and what makes everything else possible. Your general dentist is your primary point of contact, the person who knows your full dental history, coordinates your care, and refers you to board-registered specialists on the same floors of the same heritage building when more complex treatment is needed.

The scale is genuinely unusual for a single-location practice. Smile Solutions brings together 40+ general dentists, 20+ dental hygienists and oral health therapists, and 25+ board-registered specialists, all at the Manchester Unity Building, 220 Collins Street, Melbourne CBD. In practical terms, that means a routine check-up can lead to an immediate in-house referral to a specialist endodontist, periodontist, orthodontist, or oral surgeon — no separate appointments, no travelling between clinics, no clinical notes getting lost between providers.

Founded in 1993 by Dr Kia Pajouhesh with 8 patients and a single dental chair, Smile Solutions has grown to serve over 300,000 patients across 33+ years. General dentistry remains the daily clinical work that underpins every cosmetic transformation, every specialist intervention, and every long-term patient relationship the practice has built.

## The Smile Solutions general dentistry model

### Your general dentist: your first point of contact

At Smile Solutions, your general dentist is the entry point to everything. Whether you come in for a routine clean, a broken tooth, jaw pain, or because you'd like to improve your smile, your general dentist conducts a thorough examination, builds a complete clinical picture, and maps out a care pathway suited to you.

This works differently from practices that route every patient directly to a specialist, or where general dentists take on work outside their appropriate clinical scope. At Smile Solutions, general dentists refer appropriately and promptly — and because every specialist across every dental field works on-site, that referral happens right here in the building. If a cleaning appointment reveals significant bone loss, you can be seen by a specialist periodontist the same week, often the same day. If you have an infected tooth, you can be referred to a specialist endodontist without leaving the building or navigating a separate referral system.

It's thorough, well-coordinated care — and it starts with your general dentist.
