Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdLeave Lakemba via Lakemba Street and Moreton Street, then Leylands Parade and Sharp Street to reach Canterbury Road. Follow it east to New Canterbury Road, turn into Kintore Street and Hercules Street, and you’re at Marrickville Road. That’s 8.2 km and about 17 minutes outside peak.
Lakemba station sits right in the suburb, and Wiley Park and Belmore stations are close too, but most patients find the drive simpler. There’s street parking on Marrickville Road and in MacArthur Parade beside the clinic, with a few timed bays.
Open until 8pmWeekday mornings disappear quickly, so we keep later hours. You can book until 8pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, or choose Friday or Saturday between 9am and 3pm. That leaves room for a visit after work or at the weekend.
Check-ups include an exam of your teeth and gums, digital X-rays if they’re due, and a clean to remove plaque and tartar. Anything we notice is explained, along with your options, before treatment. Find out about your regular check-up and dental cleaning.
Saturday family visitsFamilies from Lakemba can bring children in on a Saturday and still be home for an afternoon at Jubilee Reserve or Peel Park nearby. Young patients get time to settle, see the equipment and ask questions. We go at their pace, especially on a first visit.
Our dental care for kids includes check-ups, fluoride, fissure sealants and fillings. If your children play footy, soccer or cricket, ask about sports mouthguards. Each one is made from a mould of their teeth, so it fits closely and stays comfortable.
Same-visit crownsA tooth with a large filling or a crack may need a crown. We make dental crowns in-house, so they’re often fitted at one appointment. If a tooth is missing, dental implants near Lakemba are an option, from single implants to All-on-4, all planned at our clinic.
Want to change the colour or shape of your teeth? Teeth whitening and bonding are often first steps, while veneers made from E-max, composite or Zirkonzahn allow more change. After an exam the choices and their costs are explained, and payment plans can be discussed.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos has more than 25 years in practice and offers general dentistry for every age. With a sudden toothache, call when we open for the earliest emergency dentist booking. See who’s on our team and read about the clinic.
