Hi, my name's Dr Yasmin Coulthard and I'm one of the dentists here at Smile Solutions
in Collins Street Melbourne.
We are the largest dental clinic in Australia in one location, but having said that, we
still give everybody personalised one-on-one dental care, with everything from general
check-ups and routine procedures right through to specialist care in fields such as orthodontics,
dental implants and oral surgery.
We are dedicated to providing patients with a holistic approach to dental care and optimising
dental health in every aspect possible. Holistic dentistry is a way of relating your general
health to your dental health. Its main emphasis is on the use of non-toxic materials such
as porcelain to restore teeth.
Cerec porcelain fillings have become very popular in enabling people to replace their
old silver fillings with long lasting porcelain restorations. Cerec restorations have many
advantages over other conventional fillings, including superior aesthetics, superior restoration
strength, single visit ceramic restoration and conservation of healthy tooth structure.In
my option, cerec is a substantial step up from the alternative in tooth-coloured resin
based fillings. Titanium implants can be used to replace missing teeth and Invisalign orthodontic
retainers can be used as an alternative to metal orthodontic braces.
Another thing that we use here is the laser. Laser can be used in some cases to reduce
pain and trauma to the teeth and to preserve the tooth's enamel. The laser waves are strong
enough to remove decay with reduced damage to the tooth's enamel.
Lasers can also be used in gum surgery and aesthetic gum lifts. Our x-ray systems are
different from standard x-rays. We use computerised digital radiography, which can eliminate radiation
worries because it can reduce the radiation by as much as ninety percent compared to conventional
film x-rays.
They are also clearer and faster to read than the older x-rays. They don't use any harmful
chemicals to develop them, as they are all produced on the computer, so they are environmentally
friendly.
We have a number of registered specialists working cohesively as a team, both with each
other and also with our dentists and hygienists. Our registered specialists include an Oral
Maxillofacial Surgeon, who does wisdom teeth removal, implants and jaw surgery, an Orthodontist
who specialises in realigning teeth, a Prosthodontist who specialises in porcelain veneers and crowns
and a Paediatric dentist who specialises in children's dental care.
We work in a beautiful heritage listed building, which is the Manchester Unity Building, in
such lovely surroundings. The area inside is like no other dental clinic you've ever
been to. We like to call our rooms suites rather than clinics, so it feels a little
bit more like a natural environment.
The reception area is large and welcoming and the receptionists are all very friendly.
We see people of all ages here, adults and children, and we can take care of all of your
dental needs. People love coming to Smile Solutions because they get the best possible
dental care as well as overall care from all of our staff.
So come and see us at Smile Solutions where we can take care of all your dental needs.
