Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdTake High Street to Mowbray Road, then Alpha Road, Flat Rock Drive and Brook Street to reach the Warringah Freeway. Cross the harbour on the Bradfield Highway, follow the Western Distributor, and come off at The Crescent and Johnston Street before making your way onto Marrickville Road.
It’s 18.9 km and about 35 minutes outside peak. Street parking is on Marrickville Road and in MacArthur Parade beside the clinic, and a few bays are timed. No bus from North Willoughby runs through to the clinic, so the drive across the bridge is how most people get here.
Open until 8pmIf mornings on the Lower North Shore are already full, an evening booking might suit. Three weeknights run until 8pm, so you can leave Penshurst Street or Eastern Valley Way behind after work and still sit in the chair well before closing.
Every routine appointment includes an exam, a clean and digital X-rays when due. Have a read of our dental check-up and hygiene and cleaning pages, then ask reception to book both in one slot so it’s a single trip.
Saturday family visitsChildren’s visits are often easiest on a Saturday, when there’s no school to work around. You can be back north for a kick at Bales Park or Cambridge Park nearby in the afternoon. Siblings can usually be seen one after another.
From first check-ups to sealants and fluoride, we keep kids’ visits short and well explained. Our children’s dentistry page has the details. For winter sport or weekend netball, consider a custom-made mouthguard fitted to your child’s teeth.
Same-visit crownsLosing a tooth raises lots of questions. Dental implants near North Willoughby start with a consultation, and single implants or All-on-4 are planned and placed here. Damaged teeth may be saved instead with a crown made in our clinic, often fitted the same visit.
For the look of your smile, options include whitening treatment, bonding and veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn. Once we’ve examined your teeth, costs are explained, and payment plans or health fund claims can be discussed with reception.
There are dentists closer to Chatswood, and a 35-minute drive isn’t nothing. What draws people across is one clinic for the family, sedation for nervous patients and Dr Dimitrios Thanos’s 25+ years in practice. Meet the clinic team or read more about us.
