Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdCronulla is the southernmost coastal suburb of Sydney, so we’re honest that it’s a decent drive. Leave via Nicholson Parade, Laycock Avenue and Gerrale Street, and pick up the Kingsway. Taren Point Road and Rocky Point Road lift you onto the Princes Highway, then Gannon Street, Unwins Bridge Road, Richardsons Crescent, Carrington Road and Warren Road carry you on to Marrickville Road.
All up it’s 21.9 km, about 41 minutes outside peak. Cronulla station is just 0.2 km from the centre, but no train, bus or light rail runs to us without a change, so the car is the easy option. Street parking is on Marrickville Road and in MacArthur Parade by the clinic. Some bays are time-limited.
Open until 8pmPlenty of people would rather spend a free Saturday at the beach than in traffic, so our late weeknights help. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday run through to 8pm. If a weekend suits you better, Saturday hours are 9am to 3pm.
Every check-up includes an exam of teeth and gums and digital X-rays when they’re due, plus a clean to lift stains and tartar. Read about check-ups at The Smile Spot and teeth cleaning.
Saturday family visitsWeekends around Cronulla Park, Monro Park and Gunnamatta Park keep families busy. Booking siblings one after another on a Saturday means a single drive covers everyone’s check-up, and you’re heading back toward the coast by lunchtime.
We take time with nervous little ones and keep first visits light. Fissure sealants and fluoride help protect growing teeth, and teenagers in contact sport can be fitted with a mouthguard made for their mouth. See children’s dental care and sports mouthguards.
Same-visit crownsCoffee, red wine and time all take their toll on colour. We offer teeth whitening, bonding for chips and veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn, always starting with an exam so you can see your options and the costs.
Broken teeth can be fixed with crowns made in our clinic, often fitted the same visit. If you’ve lost teeth, dental implants near Cronulla and All-on-4 are planned and placed in Dulwich Hill, so it’s one clinic from start to finish.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos has practised for more than 25 years. Same-visit crowns and one clinic for the whole family help the 41-minute drive make sense. Meet the Smile Spot team and read about the clinic.
