504 Marrickville RdOutside peak, the 20.9 km run takes around 31 minutes. Windsor Road and Walpole Street lead to Yeend Street and Victoria Street, then Warwick Road and Burnett Street get you onto the Western Motorway. Once through the M4 East Tunnel, Parramatta Road, Tebbutt Street, Hathern Street and Brown Street take you on to Marrickville Road.
Merrylands station is only 0.6 km from the town centre, though a train or bus trip to us needs a change, which makes the car the simplest option. On arrival, park on Marrickville Road or in MacArthur Parade beside the clinic. Several bays are timed.
Open until 8pmMaybe you’re near Stockland Merrylands most days, or you work closer to Parramatta. Either way, getting to the dentist means finding a gap. Our Monday, Tuesday and Thursday hours run to 8pm, and Friday and Saturday are open from 9am to 3pm.
Your visit starts with an exam, then a scale and polish, with digital X-rays when they’re due. To see how it all works, read about check-ups at The Smile Spot and teeth cleaning appointments.
Saturday family visitsA weekday dental visit can mean pulling children out of class. Saturday sessions avoid that, and you can book two or more kids in a row so the family heads home together before lunch is over.
Junior sport at Merrylands Memorial Park, Fyffe Park or Holroyd Volunteer Park can be rough on teeth. A mouthguard made from a mould of your child’s mouth stays in place. Read about dental care for children and custom mouthguards.
Same-visit crownsDiscoloured or uneven teeth can be treated with whitening, bonding or veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn. Expect a consultation first. After the exam we’ll explain what each option involves and what it costs.
For broken teeth there are in-house crowns, often fitted the same visit. For gaps, dental implants near Merrylands cover single teeth through to All-on-4, with planning and placement at one clinic. Payment plans and health fund claims can be discussed with us.
The clinic is run by principal dentist Dr Dimitrios Thanos, who has 25+ years in practice and uses laser dentistry and digital X-rays. Meet our people or get the background on The Smile Spot.
