Preventive Care
Keep teeth healthy and catch problems early.
General dentistry →Freshwater is about 49 minutes’ drive from The Smile Spot, a dentist in Dulwich Hill at 504 Marrickville Road. It’s a fair way from the Northern Beaches, so we keep late weeknights until 8pm and Saturday hours.

Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdFrom Oliver Street, take Pittwater Road and Kentwell Road to Condamine Street, then the Burnt Bridge Creek Deviation and Manly Road down to Spit Road. Military Road and Falcon Street lead on to the Warringah Freeway and Bradfield Highway, and from there you head on to Marrickville Road. It’s 26.3 km, about 49 minutes outside peak.
There’s no train line through Freshwater, and the local buses don’t run to Dulwich Hill, so public transport needs a change. Driving is easier. Street parking is on Marrickville Road and in MacArthur Parade next to the clinic, with some timed bays.
Open until 8pmA Thursday 7pm booking, or a Saturday morning before the weekend gets going, saves taking leave for a routine visit. Hours are 9am to 8pm Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, and 9am to 3pm Friday and Saturday.
Book your dental check-up with a scale and clean so it’s all handled at once. Digital X-rays are taken when they’re due, and we’ll flag anything that needs watching.
Saturday family visitsWhether it’s a game at Jacka Park or a training run at Harbord Park, children’s sport doesn’t stop for dental visits. A Saturday slot lets you fit both in. Our children’s dentist services include first check-ups, sealants and fluoride.
For kids playing rugby, soccer or basketball, a sports mouthguard made to measure is shaped from an impression of their teeth, so it fits their mouth rather than a generic size.
Same-visit crownsThinking about whiter teeth or veneers? We offer whitening, bonding, and veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn, starting with a consultation where options and costs are laid out.
Cracked teeth can often be repaired with a same-day crown, made in-house. If you’re missing teeth, dental implants near Freshwater and All-on-4 are planned and placed at our clinic, so you’re not passed between practices.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos has more than 25 years in practice, and longer treatments can be planned to keep your trips from Freshwater to a minimum. Learn about The Smile Spot or meet the friendly team before you come in.
