Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdChapel Street and Gray Street bring you onto the Princes Highway heading north. Turn off at Gannon Street, follow Unwins Bridge Road, Richardsons Crescent and Carrington Road, then take Warren Road and Illawarra Road to Petersham Road and Marrickville Road. The 9.7 km trip takes around 21 minutes outside peak.
Kogarah station is about 0.7 kilometres from the suburb centre, but no train or bus reaches the clinic without a change, so driving is the straightforward option. On arrival, try Marrickville Road or MacArthur Parade beside the clinic for street parking. A number of bays are timed.
Open until 8pmThe highway is at its slowest in the morning and evening rush, so time your visit around it. Our latest weekday appointments are at 8pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, while Friday and Saturday run from 9am to 3pm.
Routine visits combine an exam, X-rays when due and a clean that clears built-up tartar. Learn what happens at your dental check-up and during a professional clean, and how often each is usually recommended.
Saturday family visitsPlenty of local kids spend their weekends at Kogarah Park or Stevens Park, and winter sport brings its share of knocks to the mouth. Saturday sessions let check-ups happen outside school, often with siblings booked in back to back.
Children see us for first visits, fluoride, fissure sealants and cleans. Read more on kids’ dental visits, and for anyone in a contact sport, a custom-made mouthguard is formed from impressions of their teeth for a snug fit.
Same-visit crownsFor discoloured, chipped or uneven teeth, there’s usually more than one option. We offer teeth whitening, bonding and veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn. Your exam comes first, and we explain the costs before any treatment starts.
A cracked molar can often be capped with an in-house crown at one appointment. For gaps, our page on dental implants near Kogarah explains single implants and All-on-4, both handled at our Dulwich Hill rooms.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos has more than 25 years in practice and works with a close-knit team. Meet the team at The Smile Spot or read about our Dulwich Hill clinic before your first visit.
