Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdLeave via Young Street and Meta Street, join The Strand and follow Thomas Street down to Liverpool Road. Victoria Street and Norton Street then take you on towards Dulwich Hill and Marrickville Road. Expect about 12 minutes outside peak over 5.1 km.
Croydon has its own station, though reaching the clinic by public transport still means a change, which makes driving the straightforward choice. When you arrive, MacArthur Parade beside the clinic and Marrickville Road both have street parking, some of it timed.
Open until 8pmA nine-to-five job doesn’t leave much room for the dentist. That’s why we open until 8pm three nights a week, and from 9am to 3pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Book a time that fits around your Croydon routine, not the other way round.
During a check-up we look for early signs of decay and gum problems, update digital X-rays when they’re due, and remove hardened build-up with a professional clean. See what a dental check-up includes and how teeth cleaning works.
Saturday family visitsChildren’s appointments are relaxed and kept short, with plenty of explanation along the way. You can book siblings back to back on a Saturday morning, then head to Blair Park or Centenary Park afterwards while the day is still young.
Teenagers playing rugby, soccer or basketball should think about a guard made for their own mouth. Learn about our custom mouthguards and the rest of our children’s dentistry, from fissure sealants to fluoride and fillings.
Same-visit crownsWorn, broken or root-filled teeth often need extra protection. Because our dental crowns are made in-house, many can be fitted in the same visit. To replace one tooth or a whole arch, dental implants near Croydon and All-on-4 are planned and placed at our clinic.
Smaller cosmetic changes can start with teeth whitening or bonding. For bigger changes in shape or colour, veneers are made in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn. A consultation comes first, so you understand your options and costs before deciding.
Feeling anxious about treatment? Happy gas, oral sedation and IV sedation are available, so ask when you book. You can get to know the team at The Smile Spot and read more about our clinic before you visit.
