Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdHead along Darley Street to Warringah Road, then work through Babbage Road, Boundary Street, Penshurst Street, Mowbray Road and Willoughby Road to the Warringah Freeway. Cross the Bradfield Highway over the Harbour Bridge, follow the Western Distributor, and carry on to Marrickville Road. It’s 24.4 km, about 44 minutes outside peak.
Public transport from Forestville needs a change, and none of the local buses run through to Dulwich Hill, so driving is the simplest way to reach us. Park on Marrickville Road or in MacArthur Parade beside the clinic. A few bays are timed, so check the signs.
Open until 8pmA 44-minute drive is a real trip, so it pays to make each visit count. Book a late appointment on a Monday, Tuesday or Thursday and come across once the traffic eases, or take a Saturday morning slot and skip the weekday rush altogether.
A routine visit pairs an exam with a professional clean, plus digital X-rays when they’re due, so one appointment covers the lot. There’s more detail on regular check-ups and professional teeth cleaning if you’d like to know what to expect.
Saturday family visitsDriving in from the Forest District is easier when the kids can be booked one after another. Saturday mornings work well for that, and nobody misses school. Children’s visits cover early check-ups, fluoride and fissure sealants, explained in plain terms. See dentistry for children.
Kids who play weekend sport, or just run around Poppy Park and Casuarina Reserve nearby, can be fitted for custom sports mouthguards. Each one is made from an impression of their own teeth, so it sits firmly while they play.
Same-visit crownsCrowns are made in-house, so a damaged tooth can be fitted with a crown at the same visit, which saves a second drive across the bridge. Read about same-visit dental crowns. For colour and shape, there’s teeth whitening, bonding and dental veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn.
Missing teeth? Single implants and All-on-4 are planned and placed here from start to finish, so Forestville patients aren’t sent between clinics. Costs are explained after an exam, and payment plans can be discussed. See dental implants near Forestville.
