Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdIllawong sits in the Menai area of the Sutherland Shire, about 27 km south of the CBD, so you’ll be heading north. Go via Fowler Road and Brushwood Drive to Alfords Point Road, then Davies Road and Fairford Road to the M5 Motorway. Exit for Wolli Avenue, Bray Avenue and Hartill-Law Avenue, then Homer Street and Wardell Road reach Marrickville Road.
The trip is 21.3 km, roughly 36 minutes outside peak. Public transport needs a change, as Como station is 2.4 km from Illawong and no bus comes through directly. Park on Marrickville Road or in MacArthur Parade by the clinic, minding the timed bays.
Open until 8pmDriving half an hour or more means you want the appointment to count. Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays we’re open until 8pm, and Fridays and Saturdays from 9am to 3pm. Pick whichever suits the traffic and your week.
Most routine visits include an exam, a clean and digital X-rays when due, so we can keep an eye on any changes over time. You can read about our dental check-ups and how teeth cleaning works before you come.
Saturday family visitsOne trip for the whole family is easier than several. On Saturdays we can book parents and children close together, and you’ll be back before the afternoon, maybe in time for groceries at Illawong Village Shopping Centre.
Children’s visits cover check-ups, fluoride and fissure sealants, with plenty of explaining along the way. If your kids play contact sport, a fitted mouthguard is worth considering. Read about children’s dental visits and sports mouthguards.
Same-visit crownsIf you need several appointments for treatment, having one clinic handle everything cuts down on driving. Consultations, planning and placement of dental implants near Illawong all happen here, whether you need one tooth replaced or an All-on-4 arch.
Our crowns are made in-house, which often means the same visit. You can also ask about whitening treatment, bonding or composite and ceramic veneers. Costs are explained after an exam, and payment plans and health fund claims can be discussed at the clinic.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos brings more than 25 years of practice to the clinic. Get to know our dental team, and read about The Smile Spot if you’d like the background before booking from Illawong online or by phone.
