Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdPaddy’s Markets stop is only a short walk from the heart of Chinatown, and Capitol Square is just as close. Hop on the L1 there and ride it to Dulwich Grove or Dulwich Hill without changing. From either stop, Marrickville Road is a short walk.
The drive covers 8 km and takes about 19 minutes outside peak. Leave via Harbour Street and Pier Street, then William Henry Street, Wentworth Park Road, St Johns Road and Ross Street to Parramatta Road. Cannon, Westbourne and Crystal Streets carry you on towards Marrickville Road, with street parking out front and in MacArthur Parade.
Open until 8pmLife around Goulburn Street and Market City doesn’t always leave room for daytime appointments. That’s why we keep three late nights, finishing at 8pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. On Fridays and Saturdays the doors are open from 9am until 3pm.
A check-up here means a careful exam of teeth and gums, digital X-rays if they’re due, and a clean to lift plaque and stains. What we find is talked through in plain terms. Find out more about regular dental check-ups and scale and clean appointments.
Saturday family visitsTumbalong Park and the Darling Quarter Village Green are nearby for weekend play, and a Saturday visit to us can slot in either side. Children are welcome from their very first check-up, and we take things slowly so they know what to expect each time.
Dentistry for kids here includes fluoride, fissure sealants and fillings when needed. For young athletes, custom mouthguards for sport are made from impressions of their teeth, so they sit snugly and stay in place during play.
Same-visit crownsLost a tooth? Dental implants near Chinatown are planned and placed at our clinic, from a single implant to All-on-4. Cracked teeth can often be covered with a crown made on site, and many same-day dental crowns are finished in one appointment.
If you’d like a lighter shade, whitening treatment is a simple start. Bonding can tidy a chip, and custom veneers in E-max, Zirkonzahn or composite reshape teeth more fully. Costs are explained after your exam, and health fund claims can be discussed with us.
For a sudden toothache, call when we open and we’ll book the soonest emergency dental visit we can. Dr Dimitrios Thanos, with 25+ years in practice, oversees general dentistry and more involved care. Meet our team or read about our Dulwich Hill clinic.
