Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdManly is about 17 km north-east of the CBD, and the drive to us is 24.3 km, close to 46 minutes outside peak. Leave the beachfront by South Steyne, Raglan Street and Belgrave Street, then follow Sydney Road and Manly Road to Spit Road and Military Road.
Falcon Street leads onto the Warringah Freeway and the Bradfield Highway, then the Western Distributor and The Crescent take you west, on to Marrickville Road. The ferry and buses from Manly don’t reach the clinic without a change, so driving is the simplest choice. Park on Marrickville Road or in MacArthur Parade, minding timed bays.
Open until 8pmHonestly, a 46-minute drive isn’t something you want to do often. The trick is to line up your exam and clean in a single appointment, and choose a Thursday evening or a Saturday morning so it doesn’t break up a working day.
We’ll check your teeth and gums, clean away build-up and take digital X-rays if they’re due. Learn more on our pages for general check-ups and hygiene and cleaning visits.
Saturday family visitsBetween beach mornings and games at Ivanhoe Park or Gilbert Park, weekends fill up fast. Our Saturday session runs until 3pm, and booking the kids one after another means the whole family is done in one trip across the harbour.
We look after children’s teeth from the first visit, with fissure sealants as they grow. Surf, rugby or netball, mouthguards made to measure fit each child’s bite. See our page on children’s dentistry in Dulwich Hill for more.
Same-visit crownsWant to lift the colour of your teeth or fix a worn edge? Ask about teeth whitening, bonding or veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn. You’ll have a consultation first, with costs explained after the exam.
Our same-visit dental crowns are made on site, which saves a second drive from the Northern Beaches. If a tooth has been lost, read about dental implants near Manly, from single implants to All-on-4.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos has been in practice for more than 25 years and leads the clinic, using digital X-rays and laser dentistry day to day. Meet the team and read about The Smile Spot before you decide.
