Preventive Care
Keep teeth healthy and catch problems early.
General dentistry →Honestly, The Smile Spot isn’t next door to North Balgowlah. This dentist in Dulwich Hill at 504 Marrickville Road is about 42 minutes away outside peak, but it opens until 8pm three nights a week and Saturdays.

Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdPlan on roughly 42 minutes for 22.2 km. Local streets such as Hunter Street, St Pauls Road, Bangaroo Street and Brook Road take you to Frenchs Forest Road and Sydney Road. Manly Road and Spit Road lead to Military Road and Falcon Street, then the Warringah Freeway and Bradfield Highway cross the harbour before you head on to Marrickville Road.
Buses around North Balgowlah don’t come to Dulwich Hill and there’s no nearby station, so public transport needs a change. Driving is the simplest option. Parking is on Marrickville Road and in MacArthur Parade beside us, and some bays are timed.
Open until 8pmA Saturday appointment between 9am and 3pm is the obvious choice when you’re crossing the harbour. If weekdays suit better, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday run until 8pm, so you can come once work is done.
Use the trip well. A check-up here covers the exam, a scale and clean, and digital X-rays if they’re due, all in one sitting. More detail is on our pages for dental check-ups and hygiene cleans.
Saturday family visitsNorth Balgowlah shares its 2093 postcode with Balgowlah and Balgowlah Heights, and for families anywhere on that side of the harbour, Saturday is usually the easiest day to come. A Saturday booking for two or three children, one after another, keeps it to a single outing.
Kids who play sport at Bligh Park or burn off energy around Manly Dam can get a properly fitted mouthguard made from impressions. Find out about children’s dentistry and custom sports mouthguards at the clinic.
Same-visit crownsWhen treatment takes several stages, having it all in one clinic makes the distance easier. Dental implants near North Balgowlah are planned and placed here, including All-on-4. Our crowns are made in-house, so many are fitted in one visit.
To brighten or reshape your smile, you can choose teeth whitening, bonding or veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn. We explain options and costs after an exam, and payment plans can be talked through at reception.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos has more than 25 years in practice, and if you tell us you’re travelling, treatment can be grouped into fewer visits where it makes sense. Meet our dentists and staff or read about The Smile Spot before booking.
