Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdStart on Military Road, then Blake Street, Victory Street and Dover Road down to New South Head Road. The Cross City Tunnel and Western Distributor take you under and around the city, then The Crescent, Johnston Street and Parramatta Road lead to Cannon Street and Westbourne Street before Marrickville Road. It’s 17.6 km, about 35 minutes outside peak.
With no direct public transport, the car is the simplest option from Dover Heights. Street parking is on Marrickville Road and in MacArthur Parade beside the clinic. Some bays are timed, so leave a minute to check the signs when you arrive.
Open until 8pmWhen you’re crossing the city, it makes sense to do as much as possible in one sitting. Your exam, clean and any X-rays that are due happen in the same appointment, and if anything needs treatment, you’ll hear the options before you leave.
Read what’s covered in our dental check-ups and cleaning and scale appointments. An evening on Monday, Tuesday or Thursday, or a Saturday from 9am, usually means a lighter drive both ways and less time sitting in tunnel traffic.
Saturday family visitsAfter a run around Caffyn Park or Rodney Reserve, a Saturday check-up for the whole family is easy to organise. Booking siblings back to back means one drive instead of several, and nobody needs time off school.
Our children’s dentistry page explains first visits, fluoride and sealants. Kids playing rugby, soccer or basketball can have a custom sports mouthguard made from moulds of their own teeth, which helps it stay in place.
Same-visit crownsDental crowns are made in-house at the clinic, so a damaged tooth can often be repaired in one visit rather than two. If a tooth is already gone, see dental implants near Dover Heights. Single implants and All-on-4 are planned and placed by our team.
For cosmetic changes we also offer teeth whitening, bonding and veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn. Every option starts with a consultation, and costs, payment plans and health fund claims are explained once you’ve been examined.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos has more than 25 years in practice and leads treatment at the clinic. You can meet the team before your first visit, or read about The Smile Spot and how we plan care with each patient.
Every treatment here is available to Dover Heights patients in one clinic.
