Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdKurnell sits on the southern side of Botany Bay, opposite La Perouse, and the drive starts on Captain Cook Drive. Follow it to Taren Point Road, cross onto Rocky Point Road and pick up the Princes Highway north. Gannon Street and Unwins Bridge Road come next, then Carrington Road, Warren Road, Illawarra Road and Petersham Road lead onto Marrickville Road.
That’s 25.2 km, about 47 minutes when traffic is light. Street parking is on Marrickville Road and in MacArthur Parade beside the clinic, with some timed bays. There’s no direct public transport from Kurnell, and any trip would need changes, so driving really is the practical option.
Open until 8pmNearly fifty minutes each way is a genuine commitment, so we’d suggest booking a few months ahead and picking a time that suits the traffic. Saturday mornings suit a long trip, and three weeknights run until 8pm if you’re already heading north for work.
Each visit includes an exam, a clean and digital X-rays when needed. Find out more about routine check-ups and dental cleaning, and have them done in the same appointment to keep the drive to once every six months.
Saturday family visitsWhen the drive is this long, it makes sense to bring everyone at once. Saturday bookings let siblings be seen one after another, and you can be heading back down Captain Cook Drive by early afternoon, with time left for a walk in Botany Bay National Park.
We see children from their first visit and explain each step simply, with fluoride and fissure sealants when they help. Take a look at children’s dentistry. If your kids surf, skate or play contact sport, ask about a custom sports mouthguard made for their teeth.
Same-visit crownsLarger treatment is where the distance matters least. Dental implants near Kurnell and All-on-4 are consulted on, planned and placed in one Dulwich Hill clinic, so you aren’t driving between providers. Our in-house crowns can often be fitted at the same visit.
For cosmetic changes we offer teeth whitening, bonding and veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn. Costs are explained after an exam, and you can discuss payment plans or health fund claims before deciding on anything.
For a quick clean, a clinic closer to Cronulla might suit you better, and that’s fine. The drive is worth it if you want one practice handling bigger work and the family, under Dr Dimitrios Thanos with 25+ years in practice. Meet our team or read about the clinic.
