Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdFrom McLaren Street, take Walker Street, Berry Street and Arthur Street to the Warringah Freeway, then cross on the Bradfield Highway and follow the Western Distributor. The Crescent, Johnston Street and Parramatta Road carry you into the Inner West. It’s 13.8 km, about 27 minutes outside peak.
North Sydney station is 0.6 km from the centre, but there’s no direct bus or light rail to the clinic, so public transport involves a change. Driving is the simplest option. Park on Marrickville Road or in MacArthur Parade beside us; some bays are timed.
Open until 8pmNorth Sydney is a commercial district, and a lunchtime appointment is hard to squeeze in when the clinic is on the other side of the harbour. Evening times until 8pm on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, or a Saturday morning, tend to work better.
Each visit includes an exam, digital X-rays when due and a professional clean. You can read about dental check-ups and teeth cleaning first. Dr Thanos will suggest how often you should come back, based on what he sees.
Saturday family visitsSaturday from 9am to 3pm is the easiest time to bring children across the bridge, with no school to miss. Siblings can be booked one after another, so a single drive takes care of the whole family’s check-ups.
Children are seen for check-ups, cleans and fillings, with each step explained so nothing comes as a surprise. If they play contact sport, ask about custom sports mouthguards. Our children’s dentistry page covers what to expect at a first visit.
Same-visit crownsCrossing the harbour for treatment is easier when it takes fewer visits. Our dental crowns are made in-house, so a crown can often be fitted on the same day. For a missing tooth, see dental implants near North Sydney, from single implants to All-on-4.
If you’d like a brighter or more even smile, start with a consultation about teeth whitening, bonding or veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn. Options and costs are explained after the exam, and health fund claims and payment plans can be discussed.
For a quick clean near the office, somewhere closer may be easier. The trip makes sense when you want one clinic for the long run, led by Dr Dimitrios Thanos, with 25+ years in practice. Meet our team or read about us.
