Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdHead up Darling Point Road and Mona Road to New South Head Road, then take the Cross City Tunnel and the Western Distributor. From The Crescent, Johnston Street brings you down to Parramatta Road, and Cannon Street, Westbourne Street and Crystal Street lead onto New Canterbury Road and Marrickville Road.
That’s 12.7 km, roughly 25 minutes when traffic is light. Edgecliff station is 0.7 km from home, but trains from there don’t serve Dulwich Hill, and the 311 and 323 to 328 don’t come our way either. Street parking is on Marrickville Road and MacArthur Parade.
Open until 8pmBecause we stay open until 8pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, you can leave home after peak and still be seen the same evening. Fridays and Saturdays we open from 9am, which suits anyone who would rather drive in daylight.
A routine check-up includes an exam, digital X-rays when they’re due and a chat about anything bothering you. Book a dental clean alongside it to remove tartar and surface stains in the one visit, before you head home.
Saturday family visitsWeekend mornings by the harbour at Yarranabbe Park or nearby Steyne Park can still leave room for a dental visit. Our Saturday hours run from 9am to 3pm, which means school days stay untouched and nobody misses class.
We see children from their very first visit, with fluoride, sealants and simple explanations along the way. Teenagers in rugby, hockey or netball can have custom mouthguards made to fit. Details are on our children’s dental care page.
Same-visit crownsIf you’d like a lighter shade or a more even smile, we can talk through teeth whitening options, bonding or veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn. Every cosmetic plan starts with a consultation so you understand costs and choices first.
Our in-house crowns are often made and fitted on the same day, so a cracked tooth needn’t mean two trips. Where a tooth has already gone, implant treatment is planned here too; read about dental implants near Darling Point and All-on-4.
You’ll be looked after by Dr Dimitrios Thanos, who has worked as a dentist for over 25 years, and a small, friendly team on Marrickville Road. Meet everyone before your visit, or read about our practice and how it started.

There’s no direct option. Edgecliff station and the local buses don’t run to Dulwich Hill, so you’d need a change. Driving is more straightforward.
Marrickville Road and MacArthur Parade, right beside the clinic, both have street parking. Some spaces are timed, so read the signs.
Yes. We’re open until 8pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, and 9am to 3pm on Fridays and Saturdays.

Yes. Book online or phone the front desk, and mention anything you’re worried about so we can plan ahead.
Yes, Saturday mornings are open for children’s check-ups, cleans, sealants and mouthguard fittings, so school days aren’t interrupted.
We do. Single implants and All-on-4 are planned and placed at our clinic, and we explain the costs once we’ve examined you. Implant placement is surgery and carries risks such as pain, swelling and infection, and it is not suitable for everyone. Results vary from person to person. We talk you through the alternatives at your consultation, and you are welcome to get a second opinion.
Book a time outside peak, drive through the tunnel and park on Marrickville Road right by our door.
