The Smile Solutions Group - Three Brands, One Integrated Dental Network

When patients discover Collins Street Specialist Centre, they often ask about the broader network behind it. CSSC is one of three interconnected dental brands within the Smile Solutions group, each serving a distinct purpose but all sharing the same commitment to quality, the same patient management system and over 33 years of combined experience.

Three Brands, Three Purposes

Smile Solutions - The Flagship Full-Service Practice

Smile Solutions is the group's original practice, located at Level 1, Manchester Unity Building, 220 Collins Street, Melbourne. It is a full-service dental practice that combines general dentistry, specialist care and cosmetic dentistry under one roof.

What makes Smile Solutions unique is its breadth. You can get a routine check-up and clean, see a specialist orthodontist, have a dental implant placed by a periodontist, and then visit the cosmetic team for Same Day Porcelain Veneers - all in the same building, all with the same records.

Smile Solutions is the right choice when you want comprehensive dental care that covers everything from preventive to specialist to cosmetic, all at one address. The practice engages over 80 clinicians across the group and holds Blue Diamond Invisalign Provider status with over 9,000 cases.

Collins Street Specialist Centre - The Dedicated Specialist Hub

Collins Street Specialist Centre (CSSC) is located at Level 8, Manchester Unity Building, 220 Collins Street. It is the group's dedicated specialist centre, focused entirely on the six recognised dental specialties:

• Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
• Orthodontics
• Endodontics
• Periodontics
• Prosthodontics
• Paediatric Dentistry

CSSC is the right choice when you need specialist treatment - dental implants, jaw surgery, complex orthodontics, root canal retreatment, periodontal surgery or specialist care for children. The centre operates a peer review model where specialists from different disciplines collaborate on complex cases.

No referral is required to see any specialist at CSSC.

Core Dental - Quality General Dentistry Across Melbourne's Suburbs

Core Dental is the group's suburban general dentistry network. With practices across Melbourne - including Caroline Springs, Carrum Downs, Southbank, South Melbourne, Epping, Wyndham, Berwick, Bayside, Ivanhoe, Docklands and Glenferrie - Core Dental provides quality general dental care close to where you live and work.

Core Dental handles check-ups, cleans, fillings, simple extractions, whitening, mouthguards and day-to-day dental needs. When a Core Dental patient needs specialist treatment, they can be seamlessly referred to CSSC.

One System, No Duplication

All three brands share the same patient management system: CareStack. This means your dental records, imaging, treatment history and clinical notes are accessible across the entire group, regardless of which practice you visit.

If you are a Core Dental patient who needs a specialist consultation at CSSC, your records travel with you - no re-doing X-rays, no repeating your medical history, no lost referral letters. If you are a CSSC patient who needs cosmetic veneers at Smile Solutions, the same seamless handover applies.

This integration is not just convenient. It improves care quality. When a specialist at CSSC reviews your case, they can see your complete dental history, not just a summary letter. When your Core Dental dentist follows up after specialist treatment, they have the full treatment report in the system.

How the Brands Work Together

The group operates as an integrated network, not three separate practices that happen to share a name. Common scenarios include:

• Core Dental to CSSC: Your Core Dental dentist identifies an impacted wisdom tooth that needs surgical removal. They refer you to the oral surgeon at CSSC. Your records, including imaging, are already in the system. After surgery, your follow-up care continues at Core Dental.

• CSSC to Smile Solutions: You consult a prosthodontist at CSSC about worn teeth. The prosthodontist determines that your case is cosmetic rather than clinically complex and suggests Same Day Porcelain Veneers at Smile Solutions. Your records transfer seamlessly.

• Smile Solutions to CSSC: Your Smile Solutions dentist identifies early gum disease that needs specialist periodontal treatment. You are referred to the periodontist at CSSC for specialist management, then return to Smile Solutions for ongoing preventive care.

Over 300,000 Patients, 33 Years of Care

Across the three brands, the Smile Solutions group has treated over 300,000 patients over 33 years. The group engages more than 80 clinicians, including over 25 AHPRA-registered specialists. This depth of experience and range of expertise is what makes the integrated model work.
