Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdFrom North Street, take Gymea Bay Road and Milburn Road to The Boulevarde, then join the Princes Highway heading north. Gannon Street, Unwins Bridge Road, Richardsons Crescent, Carrington Road, Warren Road and Illawarra Road follow, and you finish on Marrickville Road. It’s 19.8 km and about 38 minutes outside peak.
Gymea station is in the suburb itself, just 0.1 km from the centre, but no train, bus or light rail runs directly to the clinic, so public transport needs a change. It’s simpler to drive. Park on Marrickville Road or in MacArthur Parade beside us, and check for timed bays.
Open until 8pmComing up from the Shire takes a bit of planning, so it helps to keep visits efficient. Bookings run until 8pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, giving you time to finish work first. Fridays and Saturdays are 9am to 3pm, and the clinic is closed Wednesdays and Sundays.
In one appointment we examine your teeth and gums, take digital X-rays when they’re due and complete a professional clean. There’s more detail on check-ups and exams and scale and clean appointments if you’d like to read ahead.
Saturday family visitsSaturday is often the only free morning in a family’s week, and it suits school-age kids well. Book siblings together and you’ll still have the afternoon for Kareela Playing Fields or Bowie Reserve nearby, or a wander through Westfield Miranda, 1.4 km from the centre.
Little ones are shown what’s happening at each step, and first visits are kept short. Older kids playing contact sport can be fitted for a custom guard made from their impressions. Take a look at children’s dentistry and custom-made mouthguards.
Same-visit crownsWith a 38-minute drive, fewer appointments matter. Crowns are made right here, so many are fitted in the same visit. If you’re missing teeth, dental implants near Gymea, from a single tooth to All-on-4, are planned and placed in Dulwich Hill.
Cosmetic options include whitening, bonding and veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn. After examining your teeth we’ll explain what is realistic, then go through costs, payment plans and health fund claims before you commit to anything.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos, the principal dentist, has more than 25 years in practice. Laser dentistry and digital X-rays are used in everyday treatment. Read about the team and what The Smile Spot is about before you book a time.
