Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdBoard the L1 at Jubilee Park or Glebe and ride the line through to Dulwich Grove or Dulwich Hill. Both stops are near the clinic, so there’s no change and no hunt for a park. It’s a simple trip from a small suburb only about four kilometres from the CBD.
Prefer to drive? Take Arthur Street and Wigram Road to Booth Street, then Mallett Street onto Parramatta Road. Cannon Street and Westbourne Street lead on towards Dulwich Hill. Allow about 13 minutes for the 5.6 km outside peak, and park on Marrickville Road or in MacArthur Parade, minding the timed bays.
Open until 8pmIt’s easy to let a check-up slide when the weeks fill up. Booking ahead for a Monday, Tuesday or Thursday evening, as late as 8pm, or a Friday or Saturday between 9am and 3pm, makes it more likely to stick. Pop the next one in your diary before you leave.
A visit covers your teeth, gums and any older fillings, digital X-rays if needed, and a scale and polish. You’ll know about anything that needs attention before we start. See what’s involved in a check-up and our teeth cleaning service.
Saturday family visitsA Saturday morning at Lewis Hoad Reserve or Minogue Crescent Reserve can easily include a dentist visit, since the light rail runs to stops near the clinic. Little ones are introduced to the chair slowly, with simple explanations and time for their questions.
For kids who play sport, custom mouthguards are made from moulds of their teeth so they sit snugly. Our dental care for children includes first visits, fluoride, fissure sealants and small fillings, with Saturday times available for families.
Same-visit crownsA cracked tooth often needs a crown. Ours are made in-house, so dental crowns can often be completed in the same visit. Where a tooth is missing, dental implants near Forest Lodge and All-on-4 are assessed, planned and placed at our Dulwich Hill clinic.
Cosmetic changes can be small or more involved. Teeth whitening and bonding can freshen a smile, while veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn can change shape and colour. We’ll explain your options and costs after an exam.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos leads the clinic with more than 25 years in practice, offering general dentistry alongside laser dentistry and digital X-rays. Meet the Smile Spot dental team or read about us and how a first visit runs.
