Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdHead out along Dobroyd Road, Bareena Drive and Beatrice Street, then Amiens Road, Peronne Avenue and Heaton Avenue take you up to Manly Road. From there, Spit Road and Military Road carry you towards the city, and the rest of the run brings you on to Marrickville Road.
Expect around 23.1 km and about 44 minutes outside peak, more when the roads are busy. There’s no train station close to Balgowlah Heights, and public transport would mean at least one change, so the drive is the straightforward choice. Street parking is on Marrickville Road and in MacArthur Parade beside the clinic, with some timed bays.
Open until 8pmBeing honest, a 44-minute trip for a quick clean isn’t for everyone. It tends to work when you’re already in the inner west for work or family, or when an 8pm finish on Monday, Tuesday or Thursday is easier than finding a daytime gap.
Routine care covers an exam, a clean and digital X-rays when due, and we can line up your next visit before you leave. Read about dental check-ups in Dulwich Hill and our hygiene and cleaning visits.
Saturday family visitsOpen 9am to 3pm every Saturday, the clinic can see parents and children in one block. That still leaves the afternoon for Tania Park or a walk around North Harbour Reserve nearby once you’re home.
Children start with an easy, friendly first visit, then regular check-ups, fluoride and fissure sealants. For kids playing rugby, hockey or other contact sport, a custom guard can be made from impressions of their teeth. See children’s dental visits and our custom mouthguards.
Same-visit crownsTreatment that takes a few steps is where a longer drive makes most sense. Dental implants near Balgowlah Heights are planned and placed in-house, including All-on-4, and many crowns are made on site so they can be fitted at the same appointment.
Cosmetic options include whitening for stained teeth, bonding for small chips and custom veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn. After an exam we explain the costs, and payment plans or health fund claims can be discussed at the clinic.
Principal dentist Dr Dimitrios Thanos brings more than 25 years in practice to the clinic. Take a look at who you’ll meet and the clinic’s background before booking from Balgowlah Heights.
