Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdWarrawee Avenue, Denawen Avenue and Deepwater Road bring you out to Castle Cove Drive and Eastern Valley Way. Then it’s Edinburgh Road, Alpha Road, Flat Rock Drive and Brook Street to the Warringah Freeway and Cahill Expressway, and from there on to Marrickville Road. Expect 22.1 km and about 41 minutes outside peak.
There’s no train station near Castle Cove, and buses such as the 207 or 275 don’t run anywhere near Dulwich Hill, so public transport means changing at least once. The car is the practical choice. Street parking is on Marrickville Road and in MacArthur Parade beside the clinic, with timed bays in places.
Open until 8pmA 41-minute drive is worth planning around. A Saturday morning can suit, since we’re open from 9am to 3pm. So can a Monday, Tuesday or Thursday evening, with appointments until 8pm.
Your visit covers an exam, a professional scale and clean, and digital X-rays as needed. Find out more about routine check-ups and teeth cleaning.
Saturday family visitsBooking children alongside parents keeps it to one trip over the harbour. We cover first visits, fluoride and fissure sealants, explained simply for kids. More on children’s dental care.
If weekends mean sport near St Aloysius Oval or Castle Cove Park, your child can be fitted for a custom sports mouthguard, made from an impression of their own teeth.
Same-visit crownsWhen you’re travelling this far, fewer appointments help. Crowns are made in-house, often in a single visit, and dental implants near Castle Cove are planned and placed at our clinic, from one tooth to All-on-4.
Cosmetic options include whitening, bonding and veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn. We’ll examine your teeth first, then take you through suitable choices and their costs.
