Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdFrom Railway Street, head along Roach Street and Somerville Street to Forest Road, then join the Princes Highway. Turn onto Gannon Street and follow Unwins Bridge Road towards Marrickville Road. It’s 6.7 km in total, about 15 minutes outside peak, and a little longer when the highway is busy.
Banksia station is right in the suburb, but public transport to our door involves a change, so the car is usually easier. Parking is on Marrickville Road and in MacArthur Parade beside the clinic. Timed bays apply in some spots, so check the signs.
Open until 8pmA 15-minute drive is easier to manage outside business hours. Book a Monday, Tuesday or Thursday evening up to 8pm, or a Friday or Saturday between 9am and 3pm. The clinic is closed Wednesday and Sunday, so plan around those days.
Routine visits include an exam, digital X-rays when they’re due and a clean, plus time to talk about anything that’s been bothering you. You can read about our check-up process and hygiene cleans before booking.
Saturday family visitsWeekend mornings at Gardiner Park or Beehag Reserve can be followed by a Saturday check-up, with the clinic open until 3pm. Children’s visits are calm and paced to suit them, starting with a simple look and a chat about looking after their teeth.
We provide children’s dental care such as fluoride, fissure sealants and small fillings. If your child plays a contact sport, a custom-fitted mouthguard made from a mould of their teeth is worth organising before the season.
Same-visit crownsImplant treatment takes several visits, so it helps when the whole process happens at one clinic. Single implants and All-on-4 are planned and placed here. Read about dental implants near Banksia. Damaged teeth can often be restored with crowns made in-house in a single visit.
For a brighter look, ask about teeth whitening or bonding. Composite, E-max and Zirkonzahn veneers can reshape and recolour teeth. A consultation comes first, then costs are explained, and health fund claims and payment plans can be discussed.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos has more than 25 years in practice, and happy gas, oral and IV sedation are available for anxious patients. Get to know the team and read about The Smile Spot before your visit.
