Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdCrescent Avenue and Princes Street bring you to Blaxland Road, then Victoria Road and Church Street take you down to Concord Road and across the Parramatta River. Homebush Bay Drive joins the Western Motorway, and the M4 East Tunnel drops you onto Parramatta Road near Tebbutt Street and Hathern Street. All up it’s 17.5 km, about 29 minutes outside peak.
Ryde has plenty of local buses, but none come through to Dulwich Hill, and Meadowbank and West Ryde stations are each about 2 km from the centre. Public transport needs a change, so driving is the simplest option. Park on Marrickville Road or in MacArthur Parade beside the clinic; some bays are timed.
Open until 8pmIf your day revolves around Victoria Road or Lane Cove Road traffic, a later appointment can be less stressful. Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays the clinic sees patients until 8pm. Fridays and Saturdays run 9am to 3pm.
Every routine appointment covers an exam, digital X-rays when due and a professional clean. Have a read of how our check-ups work and what a dental clean involves so you know exactly what to expect.
Saturday family visitsSaturday mornings are when most families find time, and siblings can be booked back to back. Weekends at Ryde Park or Princes Park can still go ahead, with the dental visit done early and out of the way.
Children are seen for first visits, fluoride, sealants and regular check-ups. Read about dental care for children. Young cricketers, footballers and netballers can be fitted for custom mouthguards made from impressions of their own teeth.
Same-visit crownsBecause we make crowns in-house, a same-visit dental crown saves a return drive. For missing teeth, single implants and All-on-4 are assessed and placed by one dentist. Read about dental implants near Ryde and what the process involves.
On the cosmetic side, options include teeth whitening, bonding and veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn. You’ll have an unhurried exam first, and the costs are discussed openly before any treatment is booked in.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos has more than 25 years of clinical experience and works with digital X-rays and laser dentistry. Meet the people you’ll see and read about our Dulwich Hill clinic before you book a time.
From cleans to All-on-4, all available to Ryde patients.
