Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdFrom Lavender Crescent, climb Walker Street to the Pacific Highway and Arthur Street, then join the Warringah Freeway. The Bradfield Highway carries you south across the harbour to the Western Distributor and The Crescent, and from there it’s on to Marrickville Road. The full trip is 14.1 km, about 28 minutes outside peak.
North Sydney and Milsons Point stations are a short walk from Lavender Bay, with Waverton a bit further, but none of them links straight to Dulwich Hill. Plan on at least one change, or simply drive. Street parking is on Marrickville Road and MacArthur Parade, and some bays are timed.
Open until 8pmThere are dentists closer to Lavender Bay, and for a quick clean you may prefer one. People who do make the trip usually want one practice for everything, from check-ups through to implants, or need a Saturday or late weeknight slot.
Routine visits combine an exam, digital X-rays when due and a professional clean. Learn more about a dental check-up and teeth cleaning so you know what each appointment involves.
Saturday family visitsA Saturday booking between 9am and 3pm lets you bring the kids without missing school, then head home for an afternoon at Watt Park or Clark Park nearby.
Early visits are about getting comfortable, then cleans, fluoride and sealants follow as teeth come through. Teens in contact sport can be fitted with a custom mouthguard. Read more about dental care for kids.
Same-visit crownsLonger treatment is where the drive makes most sense. Dental implants near Lavender Bay are assessed, placed and restored in one clinic, from single teeth to All-on-4, so you deal with the same people throughout.
Damaged teeth can be rebuilt with crowns made on site, often in one visit. For a brighter look there’s teeth whitening, bonding and E-max, Zirkonzahn or composite veneers. Fees are explained after an exam.
Principal dentist Dr Dimitrios Thanos has practised for more than 25 years. Meet the Smile Spot team and read about our practice on Marrickville Road.
