# Greek-Speaking Dental Care at Smile Solutions

Melbourne is home to one of the largest Greek-speaking communities outside of Greece, and for over 30 years, Smile Solutions has maintained a strong connection with this community. Located in the iconic Manchester Unity Building at 220 Collins Street - directly opposite Town Hall station - the practice engages eight Greek-speaking team members who cover every stage of the patient journey, from treatment coordination through to the dental laboratory.

## A Complete Patient Journey in Greek

What sets Smile Solutions apart for Greek-speaking patients is the ability to communicate in their preferred language at every step of their visit. This is not limited to a single clinician - Greek language support spans the entire care pathway.

### Treatment Coordination

**Amanda Terzoglou**, Treatment Coordinator, guides patients through treatment plans, costs, and scheduling - all in Greek. Having these conversations in a familiar language can make a significant difference for patients navigating complex treatment decisions.

### Clinical Care

Greek-speaking patients have access to 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, has a particular interest in periodontal disease treatment and prevention. She takes a holistic approach to oral health care and works collaboratively 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 requiring advanced restorative and prosthetic dental work, Smile Solutions engages two Greek-speaking specialist prosthodontists:

- **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, including crowns, bridges, dentures, and implant-supported restorations.

### In-House Dental Laboratory

The journey extends beyond the dental chair. **Greg Karabasis** (Dip Dental Technology RMIT, Master Ceramist) works in the on-site dental laboratory, crafting custom prosthetics, veneers, and restorations. Having a Greek-speaking ceramist on-site means that nuanced discussions about shade matching, aesthetics, and functional requirements can happen directly - and in Greek.

## A Long-Standing Community Connection

Smile Solutions has actively engaged with Melbourne's Greek community over many years, including advertising in Neos Kosmos, the well-known Greek-language newspaper. This reflects a genuine commitment to reaching Greek-speaking Melburnians where they already are.

The practice has 40 dental chairs, approximately 80 clinicians including 25 or more specialists, and a patient base of over 300,000. This scale means Greek-speaking patients are not limited to a narrow range of services - they can access general dentistry, oral health therapy, specialist care, implant surgery, prosthodontics, and laboratory services, all with Greek language support.

## Accessible Location and Free Consultations

Smile Solutions is located in the Manchester Unity Building at 220 Collins Street in Melbourne's CBD, directly opposite Town Hall station - making it straightforward to reach by public transport from across Melbourne's suburbs.

Free consultations are available for patients looking to explore their treatment options before committing. Greek-speaking patients can request a consultation and expect to be supported in Greek from the initial phone call through to the appointment itself.
