Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdStart on Allawah Avenue and Carwar Avenue, join the Princes Highway and stay on it to Gannon Street. Unwins Bridge Road, Richardsons Crescent and Carrington Road bring you to Warren Road, then Illawarra Road and Petersham Road lead onto Marrickville Road, finishing in MacArthur Parade right beside the clinic.
Expect 12.2 km and about 25 minutes outside peak. Allawah station is 1.9 km away and Carlton 2.2 km, and the 958, 959, 970 and 971 run nearby, yet none come straight here. The car is simplest, and MacArthur Parade has street parking, some of it timed.
Open until 8pmIt’s easy to let six-monthly visits slip when the dentist isn’t around the corner. Booking your next check-up and exam before you leave, at a time that works for you, keeps things regular without much thought.
Most visits pair an exam with a scale and clean and, when due, digital X-rays. Evening appointments until 8pm on three weekdays help if you’d rather not take time off work, and Friday is open from 9am to 3pm.
Saturday family visitsCarss Bush Park, nearby Todd Park and Coxhead Gardens give local families plenty of space outdoors. Saturday appointments between 9am and 3pm let you book the kids in together and still enjoy the rest of the weekend.
First visits are kept short and unhurried. Children’s appointments cover cleans, fluoride and sealants, all explained in kids’ dentistry. Playing contact sport? A fitted mouthguard is made from a mould of their teeth so it sits properly.
Same-visit crownsWhen a tooth breaks, we can often prepare it, make the crown in-house and fit it in one appointment, saving another drive up the highway. Read about dental crowns at The Smile Spot. For missing teeth, see dental implants near Carss Park.
On the cosmetic side, teeth whitening and bonding can lift a tired smile, while composite or E-max veneers change shape and colour more noticeably. A consultation comes first, with your options and costs explained clearly.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos has practised for more than 25 years and welcomes patients from across the St George area. Find out who’s who on our team page, or read about The Smile Spot before you visit for the first time.
