Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdEast Killara backs onto Garigal National Park, with the Eastern Arterial Road and Birdwood Avenue along its western edge, so that’s where you start. From Koola Avenue, take Birdwood Avenue and the Eastern Arterial Road, then Archbold Road, Boundary Street, Penshurst Street, Mowbray Road and Willoughby Road to the Warringah Freeway. Cross on the Bradfield Highway, then it’s on to Marrickville Road.
The trip is 24.6 km, about 45 minutes outside peak. That’s a long trip, and we’d rather say so up front. Gordon station is 2 km from the centre, but no direct bus or light rail reaches us, so public transport needs a change. Park on Marrickville Road or MacArthur Parade beside the clinic, and check for timed bays.
Open until 8pmBecause the drive takes time, it pays to do more in each visit. Book your exam and clean together, and come on a Monday, Tuesday or Thursday evening when we’re open until 8pm, or on a Saturday between 9am and 3pm.
Dr Thanos checks your teeth, gums and existing work, and takes digital X-rays when they’re due. If anything needs attention, you’ll get a clear explanation and a plan before any work starts. Here’s more about our dental check-ups and professional cleaning.
Saturday family visitsBetween school, sport and weekends at Killara Park or East Gordon Park nearby, weekdays rarely have room for the dentist. A Saturday slot lets parents and kids be seen together, which turns two or three trips into one.
First visits are kept gentle and brief, so younger children can get used to the chair. We add sealants and fluoride as teeth come through, and fit mouthguards moulded to each child’s teeth for rugby, footy or hockey. Read about dentistry for children and custom sports mouthguards.
Same-visit crownsOur crowns are made in-house, so a same-visit crown is often possible, with no temporary and no second appointment. From East Killara, skipping a whole extra round trip across the harbour makes a real difference in a busy week.
For appearance, consider teeth whitening, bonding or veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn. If you’re missing teeth, dental implants near East Killara and All-on-4 are planned and placed here, so you aren’t sent between clinics. Costs are explained after an exam.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos has been in practice for over 25 years, and evening and Saturday hours make the drive more manageable. Meet the team and read about The Smile Spot before you decide.
