The Drive From Northwood To Dulwich Hill

This route skips the bridge. Leave by Upper Cliff Road and Northwood Road to River Road West, then Bridge Street and Penrose Street bring you to Burns Bay Road. Victoria Road takes you south, and Darling Street, Balmain Road, Perry Street and Mary Street lead on towards Marrickville Road. It’s 16.1 km, about 34 minutes outside peak.

Wollstonecraft and St Leonards are the closest stations to Northwood, and the 261 and 265 run nearby, but no service comes through to the clinic. Public transport means changing at least once, so driving is far easier. Park on Marrickville Road or MacArthur Parade, minding the timed bays.

A Fair Question

Why Would Northwood Patients Drive This Far?

Honestly, for a quick clean, a dentist closer to Northwood may suit you better. Patients who make the trip tend to want late appointments until 8pm, Saturday sessions, sedation options, or one clinic for check-ups through to implants.

If you do come to us, a routine visit covers an exam, digital X-rays when due and a clean. Read about regular dental check-ups and teeth cleaning appointments.

Northwood Children On A Saturday Morning

Northwood sits on the northern side of the Lane Cove River, between Woodford Bay and Gore Creek, with bushland and reserves nearby. Book the kids on a Saturday and you can still spend the afternoon at Lloyd Rees Park.

Children’s care includes first visits, fluoride, sealants and fillings. For sport, ask about a fitted mouthguard made from impressions of their teeth. Our children’s dentistry page explains how we approach younger patients.

Dental Implants And Restorations For Northwood

Implant treatment involves several visits, so having it all under one roof matters on a longer drive. Dental implants near Northwood are assessed, placed and restored in Dulwich Hill, including All-on-4.

A broken tooth can often be repaired with a crown made in our clinic in the one visit. For cosmetic work, ask about teeth whitening, bonding and veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn. Costs follow an exam.
