Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdLeave via Booyong Avenue and Cawarra Road onto Captain Cook Drive, then turn up Taren Point Road and Rocky Point Road to the Princes Highway. From there, Gannon Street, Unwins Bridge Road, Richardsons Crescent and Carrington Road lead to Warren Road and Illawarra Road, then on to Marrickville Road. It’s 17.6 km, about 34 minutes.
You’ll find street parking on Marrickville Road and in MacArthur Parade beside us, with some timed bays. Caringbah station is 0.7 km from the town centre, and plenty of buses run locally, but none comes through to Dulwich Hill, so it’s a change by public transport. Driving keeps it simple.
Open until 8pmNot everyone can get away during the day. That’s why Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays run until 8pm, and Friday and Saturday from 9am to 3pm. Choose the slot that leaves your week intact.
Expect an exam of teeth and gums, a professional clean and digital X-rays when due. Our pages on dental check-ups and teeth cleaning cover what to expect before your first appointment.
Saturday family visitsSaturday appointments mean nobody misses school. Do the dentist in the morning and you can still be back for errands at Caringbah Shopping Village or Bay Central in the afternoon.
Children’s care includes first visits, fluoride and fissure sealants, all covered on our kids’ dentistry page. If your children play contact or field sport, we also make mouthguards fitted to their teeth.
Same-visit crownsA chipped front tooth might suit bonding or veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn. Stained teeth may respond to professional whitening. Either way, we start with an exam and explain options and costs.
Where a tooth needs more support, same-visit crowns are milled in the clinic. For gaps, our page on dental implants near Caringbah explains single implants and All-on-4, all planned and placed in-house.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos, our principal dentist, has been practising for over 25 years. We use laser dentistry and digital X-rays day to day. Meet the dental team or read about our clinic.
