Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdStart along Bath Street and Chuter Avenue, then O’Connell Street to President Avenue and north on West Botany Street. The Princes Highway takes you to Gannon Street, and from there Unwins Bridge Road, Carrington Road, Warren Road and Illawarra Road bring you up to Marrickville Road. It’s 9.8 km, about 21 minutes when the roads are clear.
Kogarah, Carlton and Rockdale stations are each roughly two kilometres or more from Monterey, and no bus runs through to the clinic. Public transport means changes along the way, so the car is the practical choice. Street parking is on Marrickville Road and MacArthur Parade, with some timed bays.
Open until 8pmComing from the bay side of the St George area, a weeknight trip often beats juggling a lunch break. We see patients until 8pm three nights a week, and Saturday mornings are open too, so you can pick a time when the traffic suits you.
At a routine appointment, the dentist checks your teeth and gums, takes digital X-rays if due and gives your teeth a professional clean. Details are on our dental check-up page and our teeth cleaning page.
Saturday family visitsScarborough Park, AS Tanner Reserve and Memorial Park give Monterey kids plenty of space for a kick or a run, and the odd knock to the mouth comes with that. If a tooth gets chipped, call us when we open and we’ll fit you in as early as we can.
Children’s visits cover cleans, fluoride and fissure sealants, explained in a way kids can follow. Read more about our children’s dentistry and the sports mouthguards we make for training and match days.
Same-visit crownsNot happy with a stain, chip or gap? There are a few routes. We offer professional whitening, composite bonding and composite or E-max veneers. Your exam comes first, and costs, payment plans and health fund claims are explained before you decide.
Teeth that are badly broken can often be restored with a crown made in our clinic, frequently in the same visit. Missing a tooth? Our page on dental implants near Monterey covers single implants and All-on-4 full-arch treatment.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos has practised for more than 25 years. If you get anxious at the dentist, ask about happy gas, oral sedation or IV sedation. Get to know our team or read more about The Smile Spot before you book.
