Advanced TechnologyLaser dentistry, digital X-rays, same-visit crowns
Late AppointmentsMon, Tue and Thu evenings, plus Saturdays
Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdFrom Peronne Avenue and Heaton Avenue, head up to Manly Road and Spit Road, then follow Military Road and Falcon Street to the Warringah Freeway. The Bradfield Highway and Western Distributor carry you south, and The Crescent, Johnston Street and Parramatta Road lead on to Marrickville Road. It’s 21.4 km, about 40 minutes outside peak.
To be honest, that’s a decent drive, and there’s no train station in Clontarf and no direct bus or light rail to the clinic. Public transport needs at least one change, so the car is the simplest way. Park on Marrickville Road or in MacArthur Parade beside the clinic; some bays are timed.
Open until 8pmIt can be, especially if you work south of the harbour or have family in the inner west. A booking late on a Monday, Tuesday or Thursday, when we’re open until 8pm, means you can travel once peak hour has passed. Friday and Saturday hours run 9am to 3pm.
Routine care covers an exam, digital X-rays when they’re due and a professional clean, usually in one appointment, so a single trip does the job. Read more about check-ups at The Smile Spot and teeth cleaning before you decide.
Saturday family visitsFor families, a Saturday booking avoids pulling children out of school and leaves the afternoon free for Clontarf Reserve or Bareena Park. Siblings and parents can be seen one after another, so the 40-minute trip covers the whole household at once.
We take time with nervous children and explain things simply. If your kids play rugby, hockey or another contact sport, a custom guard is made from impressions so it fits their own teeth. See kids’ dentistry and custom mouthguards.
Same-visit crownsLonger treatment is where the trip makes the most sense. Dental implants near Clontarf, including All-on-4, are consulted on, planned and placed at the one clinic, and crowns are made in-house, so a single visit often finishes the job.
For appearance, we offer teeth whitening, bonding and composite, E-max and Zirkonzahn veneers. Everything starts with an exam, after which we explain the options that suit your teeth, the costs, and how health fund claims or payment plans can be handled.
The clinic is led by Dr Dimitrios Thanos, who brings more than 25 years in practice. Laser dentistry and digital X-rays are part of daily care. Read about the team at The Smile Spot or find out more about us before making the drive.

Implant consultations, planning and placement, including All-on-4, all happen at our Dulwich Hill clinic, so you deal with one team the whole way through. 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.
