Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdLeave Como by Yamba Road and Railway Road, wind through Novara Crescent, Genoa Street and Tivoli Esplanade, then take Oyster Bay Road and Carvers Road up to Bates Drive. The Princes Highway carries you most of the way north before Gannon Street and the run onto Marrickville Road.
That’s 23.2 km, about 44 minutes outside peak, so it’s a proper outing. Street parking is on Marrickville Road and in MacArthur Parade beside the clinic, with some timed bays. Como station is about 0.5 km from the centre, but the train trip needs a change, which is why driving makes more sense.
Open until 8pmBecause the trip takes a while, it helps to book check-ups well ahead and line them up with other errands in the Inner West. Friday and Saturday open at 9am, and three weeknights run until 8pm, giving Shire commuters a choice of times that avoid the morning rush.
Your appointment covers an exam, a thorough clean and digital X-rays when you’re due. See what happens during a dental check-up and a scale and clean, and book both in the same visit so you only make the drive once.
Saturday family visitsSaturday is the easy day for most families on the Georges River side. Book the children one after another, then head back south in time for an afternoon at Como Pleasure Grounds or Henry Lawson Reserve nearby. It turns a long drive into a single family errand.
For little ones we keep things simple: a quick look, fluoride and sealants when they make sense. Learn more about dentistry for children. Kids who play footy, hockey or netball can also be fitted for a sports mouthguard made to their teeth.
Same-visit crownsThis is where the trip from Como often pays off. Bigger work like dental implants near Como or an All-on-4 plan stays in one clinic from the first consult to the final teeth. Same-visit crowns made in-house cut down on return trips too.
For appearance, there’s teeth whitening, bonding and veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn. After an exam, the costs are set out clearly, and you can ask about payment plans or claiming through your health fund.
There are closer clinics in the Shire, and for a quick clean one of those may suit you better. People who come up from Como tend to want one practice for everything, under Dr Dimitrios Thanos’s 25+ years of experience. Meet our dental team and read our story.

It can be, because consultation, planning and placement for single implants or All-on-4 all happen at the one clinic in Dulwich Hill. Implant placement is surgery and carries risks such as pain, swelling and infection, and it is not suitable for everyone. Results vary from person to person. We talk you through the alternatives at your consultation, and you are welcome to get a second opinion.
