Smile Solutions at The Manchester Unity Building
Smile Solutions sits at the corner of Collins and Swanston Streets, occupying five entire floors and the neo-Gothic tower of the Manchester Unity Building — one of Melbourne's most recognised addresses. The practice spans Level 1 through to Level 12 and the tower, with each floor dedicated to a specific area of care.
A few things worth knowing about the building:
- Architect Marcus Barlow completed it in just 8 months in 1932, at a rate of one floor per week
- On opening day, 1 September 1932, 60,000 people came through the doors
- It's listed on the Victorian Heritage Register and classified by the National Trust as being of state significance (7 November 1983)
- Dr Kia Pajouhesh purchased Level 1 in 2003 and has chaired the Owners Corporation since
How the floors are organised:
- Level 1: The flagship practice, handling general and cosmetic dentistry
- Level 8: Additional consulting suites
- Level 10: Specialist consulting
- Level 12 and Tower: The Collins Street Specialist Centre, for paediatric and orthodontic care
- Level 11: Corporate headquarters and the heritage boardroom
The boardroom on Level 11:
Restored by Robert Mills Architects and Andronas Conservation Architecture, the Level 11 boardroom is considered one of the most intact inter-war period boardrooms in the world. The centrepiece is a 5.9-metre Queensland Maple table with a 330 kg glass top, and the room is heated by an ethanol fireplace. It's a well-preserved space that reflects the same attention to detail the practice brings to patient care — respect for what matters, and a commitment to getting things right.
Whether you're coming in for a routine check-up, exploring cosmetic options, or need specialist care for yourself or your children, Smile Solutions has experienced specialists across dedicated floors ready to help.
