Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdDarlington is a compact pocket hemmed in by City Road, Cleveland Street and Abercrombie Street, and you may not want to move the car at all. That makes the bus appealing: the 426 and 428 both travel from the area to Dulwich Hill with no change.
Driving is 7.4 km and takes about 17 minutes outside peak. Leave via Shepherd Street and Cleveland Street, follow City Road and Broadway onto Parramatta Road, then Cannon, Westbourne and Crystal Streets lead to New Canterbury Road and Wardell Road. Park on Marrickville Road or MacArthur Parade.
Open until 8pmLiving about three kilometres from the city usually means full days in town. Our late sessions run until 8pm on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, so you can finish up for the day, jump on the bus and still be seen the same evening.
Expect an unhurried exam of your teeth and gums, with digital X-rays when they’re due. Our check-up page covers what happens in the chair, and the cleaning appointments page explains how we lift away plaque and staining.
Saturday family visitsEven in a small suburb there’s room to play, with Gadigal Green, Shepherd Street Reserve and Vine Street Reserve nearby. If school days are packed, a Saturday appointment from 9am keeps dental visits out of the weekday rush.
Children get a calm introduction, then fluoride, sealants or small fillings as they need them. You can read about dental care for kids, and athletes of any age can book a mould for made-to-fit sports mouthguards.
Same-visit crownsDamaged a tooth? We design and make crowns in-house, so many are fitted in one sitting. If a tooth has been lost, Dr Thanos can talk you through dental implants near Darlington, from a single implant to All-on-4.
Cosmetic care includes teeth whitening, bonding and veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn. Nothing goes ahead until you’ve had an exam and heard the options and costs, and payment plans can be discussed at the clinic.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos has more than 25 years in practice and works with laser dentistry and digital X-rays. Happy gas, oral and IV sedation suit nervous patients. Read about The Smile Spot and get to know our people.
