504 Marrickville RdThe 445 bus goes from Birchgrove to the clinic without a change, which suits anyone who would rather not drive or hunt for a park. Several other routes serve the suburb, but the 445 is the one that brings you to Dulwich Hill.
By car, take Grove Street and Cameron Street, then Rowntree Street, Montague Street, Mullens Street and Robert Street out to Victoria Road. The Crescent, Johnston Street and Parramatta Road come next, then Cannon Street and Westbourne Street to Marrickville Road. It’s 8.7 km, about 21 minutes outside peak. Park on Marrickville Road or MacArthur Parade, minding the timed bays.
Open until 8pmSix-monthly visits are easier to keep when the times work for you. Evening appointments run until 8pm on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, and Friday and Saturday hours are 9am to 3pm, so a bus trip after work or a weekend drive both fit.
Each visit covers an exam, digital X-rays if they’re due and a thorough clean. Find out more about general check-ups and our hygiene and cleaning visits, including how often you might need one.
Saturday family visitsAfternoons at Birchgrove Park, Mort Bay Park or down at Ballast Point Reserve tend to involve scooters, cricket bats and the odd tumble. If a fall chips a tooth, call us. For check-ups, Saturday times save taking a child out of class.
Young patients get a relaxed first visit, then cleans, fluoride and fissure sealants as needed. Take a look at our kids’ dentistry page, and for team sports ask about a fitted sports mouthguard made from impressions of your child’s teeth.
Same-visit crownsCoffee stains, uneven edges and small gaps can often be improved conservatively. Options include professional whitening, bonding and custom veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn. An exam comes first, so you know the choices and costs up front.
When a tooth is cracked or worn down, we can make a same-day crown here in the clinic. If one is missing, read about dental implants near Birchgrove, from single teeth through to All-on-4.
Our principal dentist, Dr Dimitrios Thanos, has more than 25 years of experience in practice. You can meet the people behind the clinic or learn more about The Smile Spot online.
