Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdHead up Forest Road and Belmore Road to join the M5 eastbound. Leave the motorway for Wolli Avenue, Bray Avenue and Hartill-Law Avenue, then follow Homer Street and Wardell Road to Margaret Street and MacArthur Parade. The whole run is 15.5 km and takes about 31 minutes outside peak.
Street parking is on Marrickville Road and in MacArthur Parade, right beside the clinic, though some bays are timed. Getting here by public transport from Lugarno means at least one change, so for most people the car is the simplest option.
Open until 8pmHalf an hour each way is a proper trip, so it helps to come when the roads are quieter. Evening slots run until 8pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturday appointments mean nobody has to leave work early to make it.
A routine visit includes an exam, a clean and digital X-rays when they’re due, and you’ll hear about anything worth watching before it becomes a bigger job. See how our dental check-ups work, or read about professional teeth cleaning before your first appointment.
Saturday family visitsPlenty of families spend Saturdays at sport around H. V. Evatt Park or Hadfield Reserve. Book everyone’s check-up back to back on the same Saturday and one drive looks after the whole household, with time left over for the rest of the weekend.
Children are welcome from their very first visit, with fissure sealants and fluoride where they help. Read about children’s dentistry, and ask about custom sports mouthguards before the next season starts so they’re ready in time.
Same-visit crownsBigger treatment is where having one clinic pays off. Dental implants near Lugarno, including All-on-4, are planned and placed here, so you aren’t shuttling between practices. Damaged teeth can often be fixed with dental crowns made in-house in a single visit.
For cosmetic changes there’s teeth whitening, bonding and composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn veneers. Costs are explained after an exam, and payment plans or health fund claims can be talked through at the front desk before anything starts.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos has more than 25 years in practice and leads the clinic. You can meet our team or read about The Smile Spot to see how we look after families coming in from across the St George area.
