504 Marrickville RdHead down Tunstall Avenue to Gardeners Road, then follow Kent Road, Ricketty Street and Canal Road across to the Princes Highway. Railway Road, Gleeson Avenue and Railway Parade bring you out onto Marrickville Road. The trip is 9.6 km, roughly 21 minutes outside peak, and it skirts around the city rather than going through it.
Catching public transport from Kensington means at least one change, because no bus or light rail runs straight to us. Green Square station is about 1.7 kilometres from the suburb centre, but most people find the car easier. Park on Marrickville Road or in MacArthur Parade beside the clinic, keeping an eye on the timed bays.
Open until 8pmWhen your week is shaped by Anzac Parade traffic or a commute into town, a daytime slot can be hard to protect. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday bookings run to 8pm, so you can come across after work once the roads have eased. On Fridays and Saturdays the clinic opens at 9am and closes at 3pm.
A regular visit includes an exam, digital X-rays when they’re due and time to talk through anything that’s bothering you. Our pages on routine dental check-ups and professional teeth cleaning explain what happens in the chair.
Saturday family visitsPlenty of Kensington weekends start at Fitzpatrick Park or Kokoda Memorial Park. A Saturday booking lets the dentist fit around that instead of cutting into the school day, and brothers and sisters can often be seen one after the other.
Children come to us for first visits, cleans, fluoride and fissure sealants. Read about dental care for children, and before training starts, ask about a mouthguard moulded to your child’s teeth, made from impressions taken in the clinic.
Same-visit crownsStained enamel, a chipped front tooth or an old filling that has turned grey are common reasons people come in. We can talk through whitening treatments, bonding and composite or E-max veneers, with an exam first so the options and costs are clear before anything begins.
Cracked or heavily filled teeth can be covered with crowns made in the same visit, since we make them in-house. Missing a tooth? Our guide to dental implants near Kensington covers single implants and All-on-4, planned and placed in Dulwich Hill.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos has been in practice for more than 25 years. You can meet the Smile Spot team online, or read about our clinic and how we look after people who travel in from the eastern suburbs.

Yes. Dr Thanos plans and places single implants and All-on-4 at the Dulwich Hill clinic, and explains the costs after your consultation. Implant placement is surgery and carries risks such as pain, swelling and infection, and it is not suitable for everyone. Results vary from person to person. We talk you through the alternatives at your consultation, and you are welcome to get a second opinion.
