Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdLeave along Cowper Wharf Roadway and Sir John Young Crescent, then take Riley Street up to William Street. College Street, Wentworth Avenue and Elizabeth Street take you across the city to Hay Street, Pitt Street and George Street, then Broadway and Parramatta Road head west before you finish on Marrickville Road. It’s 10.7 km, about 26 minutes outside peak.
Kings Cross, Circular Quay and Wynyard stations are all within reach of the base, yet getting to the clinic by public transport still involves a change, and no bus comes through. Driving is the simpler option. Parking is on Marrickville Road and in MacArthur Parade, with some timed bays.
Open until 8pmGarden Island has served government and naval purposes since the colony’s earliest days, and today it is home to a major Royal Australian Navy base. For people working there, Saturday sessions and evenings until 8pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays make a dental visit easier to fit around duties.
A dental check-up covers your teeth, gums and existing fillings, with digital X-rays when due. You can add a hygiene appointment to the same booking to clear tartar and stains, so one trip across the city does both jobs.
Saturday family visitsEmbarkation Park, Beare Park and Arthur McElhone Reserve are nearby for a breath of fresh air. If your family lives in the area, Saturday appointments from 9am to 3pm keep school days clear, and siblings can be booked one after another.
Children’s visits are relaxed, with time to look around before anything starts. Find out about dental care for kids. For teenagers in rugby, hockey or martial arts, a mouthguard moulded to their teeth is made from impressions taken at the clinic.
Same-visit crownsFor staining, chips or uneven teeth, we offer teeth whitening, bonding and Zirkonzahn, E-max or composite veneers. Each option is explained after an exam, along with what it costs, and payment plans or health fund claims can be discussed at the clinic.
A broken or heavily filled tooth may need a crown. Ours are made on site, so many are fitted in one visit. If you’re missing teeth, see dental implants near Garden Island, where single implants and All-on-4 are planned and placed by Dr Thanos.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos has more than 25 years in practice, and crowns are made in-house at the clinic. Meet our team or read about The Smile Spot to see how a first visit works before you book.
