Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdFrom the historic streets behind the harbour, head along George Street and Harrington Street, then cut across via York Street and Erskine Street to Sussex Street. The Western Distributor and The Crescent take you out to Johnston Street and Parramatta Road, and Cannon Street and Westbourne Street lead to Marrickville Road. Allow about 25 minutes over 11 km outside peak.
Parking is on Marrickville Road and in MacArthur Parade next to the clinic, with some bays timed. Without a car, Pyrmont Bay light rail stop is roughly a kilometre and a half from The Rocks and sits on the L1 line that runs to Dulwich Grove, near our door.
Open until 8pmA 25-minute drive is easier to plan when the appointment isn’t squeezed into a lunch break. Our Monday, Tuesday and Thursday sessions run until 8pm, so you can finish the day near the harbour and still be seen in the evening. Fridays and Saturdays open from 9am to 3pm.
Each visit includes an exam, digital X-rays when they’re due and a clean to lift plaque and staining. Here’s what to expect from a routine dental check-up and a professional teeth clean.
Saturday family visitsSaturday appointments let you fit a dental visit into a quiet weekend and still be home for a run around nearby Observatory Hill Park or First Fleet Park. Book siblings one after another and a single trip covers the family.
Children start with a relaxed first visit, then cleans, fluoride and fissure sealants as they grow. Read about dental care for children, and if they play a contact sport, ask about a custom sports mouthguard fitted to their teeth.
Same-visit crownsStained enamel, a chipped edge or a tooth that’s always bothered you can be talked through at a consultation. Options include teeth whitening at the clinic, bonding and composite or ceramic veneers in E-max or Zirkonzahn, with costs explained after an exam.
Because crowns are made in-house, a cracked tooth can often be restored in one visit, which matters when you’re travelling 11 km. Explore same-visit dental crowns or, for a missing tooth, dental implants near The Rocks and All-on-4.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos has more than 25 years in practice and plans treatment from start to finish at one Dulwich Hill clinic. Meet the people you’ll see, or read more about The Smile Spot before booking.
