Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdClimb up Beaconsfield Road to Middle Head Road and Military Road, continue to Falcon Street, then join the Warringah Freeway. Cross on the Bradfield Highway, take the Western Distributor and come off at The Crescent before heading on to Marrickville Road. It’s 18.3 km, around 36 minutes outside peak.
That’s a fair distance, and buses from Balmoral need a change before reaching us, so most people drive. Parking is on Marrickville Road and in MacArthur Parade alongside the clinic, with some bays timed, so check the signs when you pull up.
Open until 8pmThere are clinics closer to home, and for a quick check-up one of those may suit you. Where the drive starts to make sense is bigger work: crowns, implants or a smile makeover planned and finished by one dentist, with fewer separate visits.
If you do come for routine care, book a late slot or a Saturday morning. Read about dental check-ups and hygiene and cleaning visits to see what each appointment covers and how long to allow.
Saturday family visitsFamilies who spend weekends at Balmoral Park or Rawson Park can plan around a Saturday appointment from 9am to 3pm. Booking two or three children together saves the parent doing the driving a lot of time.
Visits for little ones are calm and paced to their comfort. Learn about dentistry for children, and for teenagers playing rugby, hockey or other contact sports, ask about a made-to-measure mouthguard fitted well before the season begins.
Same-visit crownsBecause dental crowns are made in-house, a damaged tooth can usually be restored in a single appointment rather than two. That counts for a lot when the clinic is across the harbour. Dental implants near Balmoral, from single teeth to All-on-4, are planned and placed here too.
For appearance, choose from teeth whitening options, bonding and veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn. Costs are set out after an exam, and payment plans or health fund claims can be discussed so there are no surprises.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos has spent more than 25 years in practice and oversees treatment at the clinic. Meet our dentists and staff, or read more about the practice and how a first visit is organised.

Yes. Implant consultations, single implants and All-on-4 are planned and placed at our Dulwich Hill clinic, after an exam and a clear explanation of costs. Implant placement is surgery and carries risks such as pain, swelling and infection, and it is not suitable for everyone. Results vary from person to person.
