Greek-Speaking Dental Care at Smile Solutions product guide

Smile Solutions: Greek-speaking dental care in Melbourne

Melbourne has one of the largest Greek-speaking communities outside Greece, and for over 30 years Smile Solutions has maintained a genuine connection with that community. The practice is in the Manchester Unity Building at 220 Collins Street, directly opposite Town Hall station, and brings together eight Greek-speaking team members who are with you at every stage — from your first call to the dental laboratory.

A complete patient journey in Greek

For Greek-speaking patients, what sets Smile Solutions apart is straightforward: you can communicate in Greek at every step, with every person involved in your care. That support isn't limited to one clinician. It runs across your entire care pathway.

Treatment coordination

Amanda Terzoglou, Treatment Coordinator, guides you through treatment plans, costs, and scheduling in Greek. When you're working through complex treatment decisions, having those conversations in a familiar language makes a real difference to how comfortable and clear-headed you feel going in.

Clinical care

Greek-speaking patients have access to experienced clinicians across multiple disciplines, including two oral health therapists:

• Poppy Kavadias (BOH Melb), Oral Health Therapist, provides preventive care including scale and cleans, oral hygiene education, and children's dental care
• Helen Paraskeva (Dip OHT, Dip Dent Hyg Melb, 2000), Oral Health Therapist, focuses on periodontal disease treatment and prevention, taking a holistic, patient-centred approach and working across all specialist departments
• Dr James Tomazos (BSc Dent, DDS Melb), General Dentist, covers examinations, fillings, crowns, and a broad range of general dental treatments
• Dr Dinos Kountouras (BDS, MSc, PhD), Implant Surgeon, provides surgical implant placement and related procedures

Specialist prosthodontics

For patients needing advanced restorative or prosthetic work, two Greek-speaking specialist prosthodontists are available:

• Dr Fotios Angelis (BDS Hons Melb, DClinDent Melb), Specialist Prosthodontist
• Prof Vasilios Chronopoulos (DDS, MS, PhD), Specialist Prosthodontist

Prosthodontists hold additional postgraduate qualifications in the replacement and restoration of teeth, covering crowns, bridges, dentures, and implant-supported restorations.

In-house dental laboratory

Greg Karabasis (Dip Dental Technology RMIT, Master Ceramist) works in the on-site dental laboratory, producing custom prosthetics, veneers, and restorations. Having a Greek-speaking ceramist on-site means conversations about shade matching, aesthetics, and functional requirements can happen directly and in Greek, which tends to produce results that more closely reflect what patients actually want.

A long-standing community connection

Smile Solutions has engaged with Melbourne's Greek community for decades, including advertising in Neos Kosmos, the Greek-language newspaper. That's not a recent addition — it reflects a consistent commitment to reaching Greek-speaking Melburnians as a core part of the practice's identity.

The practice has 40 dental chairs, around 80 clinicians including 25 or more specialists, and a patient base of over 300,000. That scale means you're not limited to a narrow set of services. General dentistry, oral health therapy, specialist care, implant surgery, prosthodontics, laboratory work — all of it is available, and all of it comes with Greek language support.

Getting there, and getting started

Smile Solutions is in the heritage Manchester Unity Building at 220 Collins Street in Melbourne's CBD, directly opposite Town Hall station. It's easy to reach by public transport from across Melbourne's suburbs.

Free consultations are available if you'd like to talk through your options before committing to anything. If you're a Greek-speaking patient, you can book a consultation and expect support in Greek from your very first phone call.

For Greek-speaking patients seeking dental care in Melbourne, Smile Solutions offers something genuinely uncommon: a large, multi-disciplinary practice where you can communicate in Greek at every point — from treatment coordination through to the laboratory. We'd love to welcome you.
