Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdLeave via Bayview Road and Queens Road, then Regatta Road takes you to Parramatta Road. Cut through Tebbutt, Hathern, Brown and Cook Streets to Old Canterbury Road, and Toothill Street joins New Canterbury Road near the clinic. Budget around 15 minutes outside peak.
Burwood station is the closest train option, but there’s no bus or train running straight from Canada Bay to our door, so you’d need a change. Driving is usually quicker. Park on Marrickville Road or in MacArthur Parade beside us, keeping an eye on timed bays.
Open until 8pmSome weeks are simply too full for a daytime appointment. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings run until 8pm, so you can drive across after the Parramatta Road traffic settles. Friday and Saturday sessions start at 9am if mornings work better.
A check-up means Dr Thanos examines your teeth and gums closely, with digital X-rays when they’re due. See our page on dental check-ups and exams, and learn how a professional dental clean supports healthy gums.
Saturday family visitsSt Lukes Park, Kings Park and Charles Heath Reserve keep a lot of local children busy with weekend sport. Book a Saturday visit and you can see to everyone’s teeth in a single trip, without taking the kids out of school.
First appointments are short and friendly so children feel at ease, with fluoride, sealants and fillings when needed. Read about our children’s dental care, and ask about made-to-measure mouthguards for cricket, footy or hockey.
Same-visit crownsBroken or worn teeth can usually be rebuilt with crowns made at our clinic, often fitted in the same visit. If you’re missing teeth, read about dental implants near Canada Bay and All-on-4, assessed and placed by Dr Thanos.
Want to change the look of your smile? We offer teeth whitening, bonding and veneers in composite, E-max and Zirkonzahn. Options and costs are explained after an exam, and health fund claims can be discussed with our front desk.
With more than 25 years in practice, Dr Dimitrios Thanos uses laser dentistry and digital X-rays daily. Nervous patients can ask about happy gas or sedation. Get to know our dental team and read about The Smile Spot.
