Spend an evening with Dr Kia Pajouhesh BSc, BDSc, founder and general manager of Smile Solutions, Australia’s largest singly located private dental practice.

An original and creative thinker, Dr Pajouhesh is a dentist on a mission. Refusing to accept the traditional dental practice paradigm, he has engineered the ideal business model - to nurture patients and clinicians - with resounding success.

Kia’s unique model combines excellence and convenience of patient care and treatment modalities in a sublime, heritage-listed environment equipped with the most sophisticated technology available. His successful formula has enabled him to grow his practice exponentially year on year, attract talented clinicians and (most recently) expand his network with the inception of the Core Dental Group to include seven Melbourne metro and Greater Melbourne localities. His flagship practice, Smile Solutions, has grown from just 8 patients in 1993 to more than 90,000 patients today and offers the full spectrum of clinical care. The CBD clinical team comprises over 60 clinicians practising under one roof, including 25 Dental Board–registered specialists.

Whether you’re a dentist young or old, whether you own your own practice or dream of doing so, Dr Pajouhesh will deliver candid insights into what it takes to succeed in the competitive and challenging world of private dental practice in Australia today, despite the onslaught of corporates, health funds and the growing over-supply of new graduates.

In an intimate evening session, Dr Pajouhesh will answer any questions you have. Do not miss this rare opportunity to hear from a hands-on expert.
