Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdFrom Hampden Road, take Barton Road and Reserve Road onto the Warringah Freeway, then cross the harbour on the Bradfield Highway. The Western Distributor, The Crescent and Johnston Street bring you to Parramatta Road and Cannon Street, then on to Marrickville Road. The 18.9 km run takes about 34 minutes outside peak.
Artarmon station sits right in the suburb, 0.1 km from the centre, and Chatswood station is 1.3 km away. Even so, most Artarmon patients find driving the simplest way here. Leave the car on Marrickville Road or in MacArthur Parade beside the clinic, and check for timed bays.
Open until 8pmWe won’t pretend 34 minutes is around the corner. What helps is timing: Monday, Tuesday and Thursday run until 8pm, so you can travel after the peak and still be seen the same evening. Friday and Saturday appointments run from 9am to 3pm.
Each visit includes an exam of your teeth and gums, digital X-rays when they’re due and a clean. If you’ve been meaning to book, see what’s involved in dental check-ups and hygiene appointments at our clinic.
Saturday family visitsComing from Artarmon, it makes sense to bring the family together. Book several Saturday check-ups in a row and the drive covers everyone. Kids who spend afternoons at Artarmon Village Green or Thomson Park are welcome from their very first visit.
We provide fissure sealants, fluoride and cleans through our children’s dentistry. If your child plays a contact sport, ask about custom-made mouthguards, shaped from impressions so they sit comfortably and stay put during training and games.
Same-visit crownsTravel time matters, so we try to keep treatment efficient. Crowns are made in our own clinic and usually fitted in a single visit. Cosmetic options include whitening, bonding and veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn, all explained after an exam.
Missing teeth can be replaced with dental implants near Artarmon, planned and placed by Dr Thanos at our Dulwich Hill clinic. From a single implant to All-on-4, you deal with the same team from start to finish.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos has practised for more than 25 years. Read about The Smile Spot and meet the team before your first appointment, so the faces are familiar when you walk in the door.
