Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdIt’s 23 km, about 43 minutes outside peak. Take Sydney Road and Manly Road to Spit Road, cross to Military Road and Falcon Street, then follow the Warringah Freeway over the Harbour Bridge. The Western Distributor, The Crescent and Johnston Street bring you to Parramatta Road, then Cannon Street and on to Marrickville Road.
The Manly ferry terminal is 0.9 km from Fairlight, but no ferry, bus or light rail runs through to Dulwich Hill, so public transport needs a change. Driving is the easiest way. Park on Marrickville Road or in MacArthur Parade, and watch for timed bays.
Open until 8pmComing across the bridge at 5pm isn’t much fun, so a later booking helps. Appointments run until 8pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, which gives the traffic time to settle, and Saturdays from 9am suit anyone who’d rather drive at the weekend.
Routine visits combine an exam, a clean and digital X-rays when you’re due for them. It’s straightforward care that keeps track of small changes over time, and anything that needs attention is explained before treatment. Read more about check-ups and teeth cleaning.
Saturday family visitsKids get a calm, unhurried first visit, then regular check-ups with fluoride and fissure sealants when they help. Saturday appointments leave the rest of the weekend free for Weerona Park or a walk along West Esplanade. See dentistry for kids.
Playing junior sport? A custom mouthguard for sport is made from an impression of your child’s teeth, so it fits properly and is comfortable to wear through a full game or training session. It’s a good idea to organise one before the season begins.
Same-visit crownsIf a stained or chipped tooth bothers you, teeth whitening, bonding and veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn are all options. A consultation comes first, covering what each involves and what it costs, so there are no surprises.
Teeth that need more strength can be restored with crowns made in-house, fitted at the same visit. Gaps from missing teeth can be closed with single implants or All-on-4, planned and placed here. See dental implants near Fairlight.
If dental visits make you uneasy, Dr Dimitrios Thanos has spent 25+ years helping patients through treatment at their own pace. Meet our team and learn more about the practice before you book from Fairlight.
