504 Marrickville RdIt’s a fair question. Kangaroo Point is a tiny Sutherland Shire suburb, and the trip is 17.1 km, about 34 minutes outside peak. Leave by Kangaroo Point Road, Tara Street and Corea Street for the Princes Highway, then Gannon Street, Unwins Bridge Road and Richardsons Crescent. Carrington Road, Warren Road, Illawarra Road and Petersham Road finish on Marrickville Road.
The local 967 bus doesn’t come our way, so public transport would mean several changes. Driving is the realistic option. Once here, park on Marrickville Road or in MacArthur Parade beside the clinic, and check for time limits.
Open until 8pmWhen the drive is this long, it’s worth getting more done per trip. Pair your exam and clean, ask whether small fillings can be done in the same sitting, and pick an 8pm finish or a Saturday to stay clear of peak hour.
Here’s what a six-monthly check-up involves, and why a regular dental clean helps catch gum problems early, before they need bigger treatment.
Saturday family visitsSaturday mornings work well for families who don’t want three separate drives. Book parents and children back to back, then you’re home in time to wander down to the Esplanade Foreshore Reserve or Ward Crescent Reserve.
Our children’s dental visits cover first check-ups, fluoride and fissure sealants. Kids who play contact sport can be fitted for a custom mouthguard during the same appointment.
Same-visit crownsImplants are one treatment where a longer drive can pay off. Consultation, surgery and the final tooth for dental implants near Kangaroo Point all happen in Dulwich Hill, including All-on-4, so you aren’t shuttled between clinics.
Because crowns are made in-house, many can be fitted the same day. Cosmetic choices include teeth whitening, bonding and composite or E-max veneers. Everything is costed after an exam, and payment plans can be discussed.
There are clinics closer to home, around Southgate or Kareela. The trip suits you if you’d value late nights, sedation or implants planned in one place with Dr Dimitrios Thanos, who has 25+ years in practice. Meet our team or read about us.
