Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdWind down Playford Road and Dilke Road to Clancy Street, then Davies Road and Fairford Road put you on the M5 Motorway heading east. The motorway delivers you to Wolli Avenue, where Bray Avenue and Hartill-Law Avenue lead to Homer Street, Wardell Road and Margaret Street. All up it’s 16.5 km, about 29 minutes outside peak.
The nearest station is Padstow, 2.1 km from the suburb centre, but there’s no single bus or light rail trip to the clinic, so expect a change if you skip the car. Drivers can park on Marrickville Road or in MacArthur Parade, where some spots are timed.
Open until 8pmSix months goes quickly. If weekdays are full, an appointment between 5pm and 8pm on a Monday, Tuesday or Thursday saves a day off, while Saturday runs from 9am to 3pm for people who prefer the weekend.
Each visit includes an oral exam, digital X-rays if they’re due, and scaling to clear hardened build-up. See what happens at your six-monthly check-up and in a professional dental clean before booking.
Saturday family visitsFrom One Tree Point to the streets off Alfords Point Road, weekends spent around Roma Reserve or Starr Reserve don’t leave a lot of room. A Saturday booking with siblings back to back keeps the dentist to one outing for the household.
Children’s visits are about building trust as much as checking teeth. Read how we approach kids’ dental visits, and ask about a fitted sports mouthguard for training and game days.
Same-visit crownsLost a tooth or two? Our page on dental implants near Padstow Heights covers single implants and All-on-4, with planning and placement done at one clinic. When a tooth can be saved, a crown made in-house can often be fitted at one appointment.
Small cosmetic changes add up. Whitening for stained teeth, tooth-coloured bonding and composite or porcelain veneers are all options, and we’ll explain the cost of each after your exam.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos leads the practice and has more than 25 years of dentistry behind him. Read about The Smile Spot and meet our friendly team before your first appointment.
