Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdClifton Gardens is a quiet pocket of Mosman beside Chowder Bay, so the first stretch is all local streets: Morella Street, Clifton Street, Thompson Street and Prince Albert Street up to Queen Street and Avenue Road. Cowles Road and Holt Avenue bring you to Military Road, then Falcon Street and the Warringah Freeway head south. The full run is 18.9 km, about 37 minutes.
No bus or light rail runs straight from this corner of the Lower North Shore to Dulwich Hill, so public transport needs a change and driving is the simplest choice. Park on Marrickville Road or MacArthur Parade beside the clinic, minding the timed bays.
Open until 8pmThirty-seven minutes each way is a real commitment, so book check-ups when the roads are lighter. Evening slots run until 8pm on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, and Friday and Saturday appointments start from 9am.
A regular visit takes in a careful exam, any digital X-rays that are due, and a professional clean. Learn more on our check-up and exam page and the page about teeth cleaning and scaling.
Saturday family visitsAfter a morning at Clifton Gardens Reserve or a walk through Ashton Park, a Saturday check-up can round out the day. We’ll see the kids one after another, so the drive is shared across the family.
Visits for young children are short, friendly and focused on good habits. Find out more about dental care for children, and ask about mouthguards for sport if your child plays rugby, hockey or another contact game.
Same-visit crownsCosmetic work starts with a consultation so you can see the options side by side. Choose from teeth whitening, bonding, or Zirkonzahn, E-max and composite veneers, and you’ll hear about costs once we’ve examined your teeth.
Because dental crowns are produced in-house, many are fitted the same day rather than over two trips from Clifton Gardens. Replacing missing teeth? Our dental implants near Clifton Gardens page covers single implants and All-on-4.
The clinic is led by Dr Dimitrios Thanos, who has practised dentistry for more than 25 years. You can meet our dentists and staff or read more about The Smile Spot before booking.
