Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdLeave via Cranbrook Street and Hastings Street onto Botany Road, then Mill Pond Road takes you to General Holmes Drive. Joyce Drive and Qantas Drive run past the airport to Robey Street and O’Riordan Street, and Bourke Road, Coward Street and Kent Road carry you north before the final stretch onto Marrickville Road. That’s 9.1 km, near enough 20 minutes outside peak.
No bus runs from Botany to the clinic without a change, and the closest train is Domestic Airport station, about 2.3 kilometres from the suburb centre. Driving is the easier choice. Park on Marrickville Road or in MacArthur Parade beside us, and check the timed bays.
Open until 8pmAirport traffic on General Holmes Drive and Qantas Drive can make a midday dash risky. Later bookings help: Monday, Tuesday and Thursday appointments run until 8pm. Friday and Saturday sessions go from 9am to 3pm.
At each visit we look at teeth, gums and existing fillings, with digital X-rays when they’re due. Read about our check-up appointments and what to expect from a teeth cleaning so there are no surprises.
Saturday family visitsSaturdays around Botany often mean a game at Booralee Park or a run around Sir Joseph Banks Park. Fitting a check-up in on the same morning keeps school days free, and we can usually see more than one child in a row.
We look after children from first visits through to cleans, fluoride and sealants. Our children’s dental care page has more detail, and players in contact sports can be fitted for a custom mouthguard shaped to their own teeth.
Same-visit crownsA chipped tooth, faded enamel or a gap that bothers you can often be improved. Talk to us about whitening, bonding or veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn, after an exam that sets out the choices and costs.
Teeth that are broken or heavily filled may need a crown, and ours are made in-house in a single visit. To replace a missing tooth, explore dental implants near Botany, with single implants and All-on-4 planned and placed in Dulwich Hill.

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. We talk you through the alternatives at your consultation, and you are welcome to get a second opinion.
