Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdStart on Lynch Avenue and Port Hacking Road South, swing onto the Kingsway, then head north on Taren Point Road and Rocky Point Road to the Princes Highway. Gannon Street, Unwins Bridge Road, Richardsons Crescent, Carrington Road, Warren Road and Illawarra Road do the rest, then it’s on to Marrickville Road. That’s 19.7 km and about 38 minutes outside peak.
Caringbah station is 1.6 km from the suburb centre and Woolooware is 2.3 km, but neither has a direct link to us and no bus runs straight through, so public transport needs a change. Driving keeps it simple. Street parking is on Marrickville Road and in MacArthur Parade alongside the clinic, with some bays timed.
Open until 8pmFrom the Port Hacking side, any trip north takes a while. Thursday evening appointments, or a Monday or Tuesday until 8pm, give you a window once the day is done. Saturday visits run 9am to 3pm if that’s easier.
Expect a careful exam, digital X-rays when they’re due and a polish at the end, plus a chance to ask about anything that’s been bothering you. You’ll find more detail on check-up appointments and teeth cleaning at The Smile Spot.
Saturday family visitsBetween time on the water, training at nearby Lilli Pilli Oval and everything else, Saturdays get full. Book the children in for an early slot, one after another, and you’ll be back down the Princes Highway with most of the day still ahead.
Our approach with children is unhurried, starting with first visits and moving on to sealants and fluoride as teeth come through. Players in contact sport need a mouthguard moulded to their own bite. See children’s dentistry and custom-fitted mouthguards.
Same-visit crownsStained or uneven teeth? We can talk about whitening your teeth, bonding or veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn once we’ve examined them, so you can weigh up the options and costs.
Cracked or heavily filled teeth often need a crown. Ours are made in the clinic, which saves a second trip up from the Shire, so crowns can be fitted the same visit. For gaps, dental implants near Caringbah South and All-on-4 are planned and placed in Dulwich Hill.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos has more than 25 years in practice and keeps family records in one place, from grandparents to young kids. Meet our dentists and staff, or read about The Smile Spot.
