Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdLeave by Rival Street and Freya Street onto Bates Drive, then head north on the Princes Highway. Turn into Gannon Street and Unwins Bridge Road, follow Richardsons Crescent and Carrington Road, and take Warren Road and Illawarra Road to Petersham Road, which brings you onto Marrickville Road.
The full trip is 19.9 km, usually about 37 minutes outside peak. Pull up on Marrickville Road or in MacArthur Parade beside the clinic, watching for timed bays. Jannali station is about 1.5 km from Kareela, but public transport here means a change, so driving is the easier choice.
Open until 8pmWith a drive of over half an hour, it helps to make each visit count. Late appointments until 8pm on three weeknights let you head up the highway once the day’s done, and Saturday mornings work if you’d rather not travel after work at all.
A routine appointment covers an exam, a clean and digital X-rays when you’re due. Read about our dental check-ups and professional teeth cleaning. Booking them in one visit means one trip from the Shire, not two.
Saturday family visitsSaturday can easily become a family dentist day. The children are seen one after another, and you’re home in time for an afternoon at Bumble Bee Park or Charles Orwin Reserve nearby. School days stay untouched.
From first check-ups to fluoride and fissure sealants, we take things at a child’s pace and explain what’s happening. See our children’s dentist page for more. For kids in soccer, footy or other contact sport, ask about mouthguards made to fit.
Same-visit crownsIf you’re facing a missing tooth, it’s reassuring to have one clinic run the whole process. Dental implants near Kareela and All-on-4 are consulted on, planned and placed in Dulwich Hill. Damaged teeth can often be saved with same-visit crowns made in-house.
Cosmetic options include teeth whitening, bonding and veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn. Once we’ve examined your teeth, you’ll get a clear explanation of costs, and you can discuss payment plans or health fund claims with reception.
Kareela Shopping Centre is right nearby, and for a quick clean a local option may be easier. The drive north makes sense if you want everything, from kids’ visits to implants, with Dr Dimitrios Thanos and his 25+ years in practice. Read about The Smile Spot or meet our team.
