Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdLeave Newington along Avenue of Europe and Avenue of Oceania, then Hill Road takes you to the Western Motorway. The M4 East tunnel brings you out onto Parramatta Road, and Tebbutt Street, Cook Street and Old Canterbury Road lead down to Toothill Street and Marrickville Road. It’s 14.6 km, about 24 minutes outside peak.
There isn’t a train station close to the centre of Newington, and local buses like the 525 and 540 don’t reach the clinic, so public transport needs a change. Driving is the easy choice. You’ll find street parking on Marrickville Road and in MacArthur Parade beside us, though some bays are timed.
Open until 8pmGetting to the dentist shouldn’t mean losing half a day. Late appointments run until 8pm on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, and the tunnel keeps the trip fairly direct. Friday and Saturday hours are 9am to 3pm, and we’re closed on Wednesday and Sunday.
Regular visits, usually twice a year, help you avoid bigger repairs later on. Read about check-ups at The Smile Spot, which include an exam and digital X-rays when due, and teeth cleaning to remove plaque and tartar build-up.
Saturday family visitsFamilies in Newington have Blaxland Riverside Park, Wilson Park and Pierre de Coubertin Park close by, so weekends often revolve around bikes, ball games and team sport. Saturday sessions make it simple to bring the kids in together without missing school.
From first visits to fluoride and fissure sealants, our family and children’s dentistry is relaxed and unhurried. If your child plays footy, soccer or hockey, ask about a custom-fitted sports mouthguard made from impressions of their teeth.
Same-visit crownsTeeth that have yellowed, chipped or worn down can often be improved in a few steps. We provide teeth whitening, bonding and veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn, with a consultation first so you can weigh up options and costs.
Our same-visit crowns are made in-house, so a broken tooth can be dealt with in one sitting. If you’ve lost a tooth, look into dental implants near Newington, with single implants and All-on-4 planned at our clinic.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos, our principal dentist, has been practising for more than 25 years. Read about our practice and meet the people who’ll look after you, from the front desk through to the treatment room.
