So, when I ended up here I found myself waiting in the waiting room for over four hours, without…read moreany idea of when I was going to be called in for an examination. Yet, when I think about it, waiting for four hours and paying nothing for the consult, as opposed to having to go into debt just to pay for a simply consult with a specialist, I guess I'll basically choose the first option, namely because it means I have money to spend on other things, such as going to Thai Restaurants. Still, this place was pretty good, though another problem is that doctors do seem to contradict each other, and of course, with the whole handwriting thing, I suspect that doctors aren't able to read each others, though I do suspect that many of the younger doctors end up here, because the more experienced ones end up in private practice.

As with most hospitals, this one is very understaffed and most likely underfunded and I'm sure they…read moreare trying their best. If you come in for emergency at any point day or night expect a long wait. Patients are treated by urgency so you will never have a exact time you will be seen. On nights there is usually only one doctor for the entire night so waits will usually be 6-7 hour or more. This is a world class hospital though and the doctors are very qualified, there just unfortunately needs to be more of them made available.

I always enjoy my regular visits to the orthodontist here!…read more I'm currently midway through my Invisalign course. Setting aside the slightly high price tag for the entire course, Smile Solutions does offer a great experience for what is usually an uncomfortable process. Since I've been visiting about 1.5 years ago, I've always had top notch customer service from these guys! One minor down side is that this is a huge establishment with a large team of dentists, orthodontists, and support staff, and rather packed schedules. As such, I've dealt with numerous hygienists and dentists (thank god my orthodontist has been the same!). This is mitigated by the fact that every one of the staff members I've dealt with are highly professional and deliver knowledgeable and amazing service! The Manchester Unity building is also one of the most beautiful refurb Art Deco buildings I've seen in Melbourne and Smile Solutions does a great job preserving the authenticity of this building while providing a comfortable environment!

Smile Solutions is the largest dental practice in Australia (or so claims their website), but…read moredespite its size, I've always felt I received personal attention and the staff cared about my dental health. It's a very relaxing space set up on the first floor of the historic art deco historic Manchester Unity Building in the CBD...it's worth a visit just to see the architectural features of this building! This is one fancy office. And yes, the other Yelpers are correct.... the lobby does smell like vanilla. My dentist and hygienist were both professional and did their genuine best to reduce any pain/discomfort. I had to get one of my fillings replaced, and opted to go with a porcelain filling, which they molded on site. It was a definite state of the art experience...this was the first practice I've been to that used cerec fillings...they digital scan your teeth to determine the shape of the filling and then 5 to 10 minutes later the filling is complete and ready to be placed in your mouth....no more sending a mold out to a lab, no temporary fillings, you're in and out quickly! The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 stars is the price. It's very expensive though I guess that's the cost of going to a Collins Street dentist.

The only downer was that the waiting room has a HUGE and LOUD tv, blaring the worst that commercial tv has to offer. When you're already feeling sick, the last thing you want to to endure "news" segments on the latest anti-ageing eye creams and shouty panelists debating who was best dressed at the Brownlow. The content was nauseating and it was SO LOUD. So, great service but an uncomfortable waiting room atmosphere.

I first went when I had an emergency and they were very helpful over the phone and I was able to get in on the day after work. Did not feel any discomfort or pain in fact it was more gentle than my last few cleans at another local clinic. I have gone back to get some cosmetic work done and am very satisfied with the outcome! Great people. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone!

From the welcome staff to dentist and back out again you will be hard pressed to fault these ladies. Truly smile angels!! Price wise this little gem is cheaper than my local suburban dentist.

Good because you don't have to pay her, bad because she is your mom. I did my obligatory cross searching across in the internets and came to the conclusion I needed to come here. I entered and it felt like I was in a modern spa sort of place. The people were all quite friendly, one was REALLY friendly. The dentist I didn't see for that long, but he was very straight forward and approachable, I will have a better feeling when I get my xrays next time. My hygenist was young, friendly and did a good job on being gentle even with the sonic teeth cleaner thing. As a first time patient you get a nice candle ( I know, it was a little weird but hey a nice free candle is always appreciated) a bunch of travel toothpaste, gum and other stuff. Overall I was exteremly satisfied, the only thing I can complain about is that it felt *slightly* rushed. Maybe because the office, which is in two seperate parts of the building was larger and had more staff than I have been used to. I am very happy with this ultra modern dentist and felt like they hire friendly knowledgeable people. Time will tell if it continues to refine its services or if it declines and tries to pump as many people as possible through its doors. I am hoping for the former.
