504 Marrickville RdThe 445 bus runs between Balmain and Dulwich Hill, so you can ride to the clinic area without changing. The John Street Square light rail stop is further off, around 1.4 kilometres from the suburb centre, and it sits on the L1 line that runs to Dulwich Grove.
Driving takes about 19 minutes outside peak over 7.9 km. From Beattie Street and Mullens Street, join Victoria Road, then The Crescent and Johnston Street to Parramatta Road. Cannon Street, Westbourne Street and Crystal Street lead to New Canterbury Road. Park on Marrickville Road or in MacArthur Parade, where some bays are timed.
Open until 8pmHop on the 445 after work and you can still make an evening appointment, since the clinic stays open to 8pm on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Friday and Saturday hours are 9am to 3pm for anyone who prefers daylight.
Each routine visit includes an exam, digital X-rays when needed, and a scale and polish. Read about dental check-ups for adults and kids and professional cleaning to see what’s covered.
Saturday family visitsA Saturday check-up before 3pm can sit alongside a morning at Gladstone Park, Punch Park or Birrung Park. Taking the 445 means no hunting for a park with children in tow, and siblings can be seen one after the other.
First visits are about getting comfortable. After that come fissure sealants, fluoride and fillings through our kids’ dentistry, plus mouthguards made to measure for children who play contact sport.
Same-visit crownsSome patients want a whiter shade before an event, others want a chipped edge fixed. There’s whitening treatment, bonding and veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn, starting with a consultation so the options and costs are clear.
Larger repairs are often done with crowns we make in-house, frequently in a single visit. If a tooth can’t be saved, implants or All-on-4 can replace it, planned and placed at the clinic. Read about dental implants near Balmain.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos has been in practice for over 25 years, and the clinic uses laser dentistry and digital X-rays. Read about our practice and get to know our team before you visit.
