At Smile Solutions, four board-registered Specialist Endodontists, each having dedicated their career entirely to this field, work together in one practice in the Melbourne CBD.\n\n**Your endodontic team:**\n\n- **Prof Chankhrit Sathorn**, BDSc, MDSc, PhD, Specialist Endodontist. An active academic researcher and published author in endodontics, Prof Sathorn brings a depth of evidence-based knowledge that feeds directly into how he treats patients.\n- **Dr Craig Tilley**, BDSc, MDSc, Specialist Endodontist. With over 35 years of clinical experience, Dr Tilley is one of Melbourne's most senior endodontists, well placed to handle complex and difficult cases.\n- **Dr Nick Tralongo**, BDSc, MDSc, Specialist Endodontist. A dedicated specialist known for a gentle, personalised approach to care.\n- **Dr Aovana Timmerman**, BDSc, MDSc, Specialist Endodontist. A highly qualified practitioner whose focus is on achieving the best possible outcome for each patient she treats.\n\n**Endodontic services:**\n\nSmile Solutions covers the full scope of specialist endodontic treatment:\n\n- Root canal therapy\n- Endodontic retreatment\n- Apicoectomy (surgical endodontics)\n- Cracked tooth diagnosis\n- Dental trauma management\n- Internal bleaching\n\nEvery procedure is performed by a board-registered Specialist Endodontist using microscope-assisted techniques. That means your treatment isn't being handled by a general dentist working outside their core training — it's done by someone whose entire postgraduate education was focused on exactly this.\n\n**Why see a Specialist Endodontist?**\n\nRoot canal treatment isn't a single standard of care. A Specialist Endodontist has completed years of additional postgraduate training beyond their dental degree, all of it focused on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the inner structures of teeth. At Smile Solutions, that level of expertise is available every day.\n\nThe use of high-powered dental operating microscopes makes a real practical difference here. Under magnification, a specialist can see additional canals, fine cracks, and complex anatomy that simply aren't visible to the naked eye. That translates to more thorough treatment and better long-term outcomes for your tooth.\n\n**Finding us**\n\nSmile Solutions is at 220 Collins Street, Melbourne CBD, inside the heritage-listed Manchester Unity Building. The practice is easy to reach by public transport and sits in the centre of the city.\n\nTo book a consultation, call **13 13 96** or ask your referring dentist to arrange a referral.\n\n---",
