Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdAt 15.7 km and about 34 minutes outside peak, it’s a proper drive. From the Mars Road and Sirius Road end, follow Orion Road and Sam Johnson Way to Epping Road, then Moore Street, Barwon Road and Centennial Avenue to Burns Bay Road. Victoria Road, Darling Street and Balmain Road carry you the rest of the way to Marrickville Road.
There’s no train station in the immediate area, and although many buses run nearby, none reach the clinic without a change. Driving is simplest. Once here, park on Marrickville Road or in MacArthur Parade beside us, and check any time limits on the signs.
Open until 8pmBecause the trip takes time, it pays to book well ahead and pick a time that suits. Patients are seen until 8pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturdays and Fridays run from 9am to 3pm, so you may not need to take leave at all.
Expect an exam, a professional clean and digital X-rays if you’re due. You can lock in your next visit at the front desk, which keeps the six-month rhythm going. Here’s what’s involved in a dental check-up and a teeth clean.
Saturday family visitsWith a 34-minute drive each way, it makes sense to see the whole family on one Saturday. Line up everyone’s appointments in a row, then head home to Blackman Park or Hands Quarry Reserve nearby for the afternoon.
Kids’ visits cover first check-ups, fluoride, sealants and fillings, with time taken to explain things. For young athletes we make mouthguards that fit properly. Our children’s dentistry page has more detail on each stage.
Same-visit crownsWhen you live 15.7 km away, every saved trip counts. Our crowns are made in-house, and many go in the same day. Dental implants near Lane Cove West, single teeth or All-on-4, are planned and placed at the one clinic, so you aren’t sent elsewhere for part of the job.
Cosmetic work starts with an exam and a clear explanation of costs. Ask about whitening, bonding, or veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn. Payment plans and health fund claims can be discussed when you visit.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos has more than 25 years in practice, and laser dentistry and digital X-rays are part of how the clinic works. It’s worth reading about The Smile Spot and getting to know our dental team online first.
