Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdTake Cahors Road and Watson Road to Fairford Road, and you’re onto the M5, which runs across the northern end of Padstow. Exit at Wolli Avenue, then follow Bray Avenue, Hartill-Law Avenue, Homer Street and Wardell Road. Margaret Street brings you into MacArthur Parade, right beside the clinic. It’s 13.9 km, about 24 minutes outside peak.
Padstow station is 0.4 km from the suburb centre, but public transport to us needs a change, and the 927, 950, 960 and 962 buses don’t reach Dulwich Hill. Driving is the simpler choice. Park in MacArthur Parade or on Marrickville Road, and keep an eye on the timed bays.
Open until 8pmWith the motorway so close, an after-work visit from Padstow is very doable. Patients are seen until 8pm on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, and from 9am to 3pm on Friday and Saturday. Wednesday and Sunday the clinic is closed.
Routine care catches problems early, while they’re simpler to treat. Find out about our general check-ups, with an exam and digital X-rays when due, and teeth cleaning appointments that clear tartar and polish away surface stains.
Saturday family visitsPadstow Park, Playford Park and Carl Little Reserve give local kids plenty of room for sport and play. A Saturday booking means check-ups don’t eat into school time, and families can line up appointments together so one trip covers everyone.
We see children from their first visit, with cleans, fluoride and fissure sealants as needed. Read about dental care for children. If your child plays footy, rugby or hockey, our custom mouthguards are made from impressions for a secure, comfortable fit.
Same-visit crownsStains, chips and worn edges can all affect how you feel about your smile. We provide teeth whitening, bonding and composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn veneers. After an exam, Dr Thanos lays out the options and costs, and payment plans or health fund claims can be discussed at the clinic.
Damaged teeth can often be restored with an in-house crown in a single visit. For missing teeth, read about dental implants near Padstow. Single implants and All-on-4 are both planned and placed here in Dulwich Hill.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos, the principal dentist, has more than 25 years in practice. Read about The Smile Spot and meet the dental team who’ll care for you and your family on each visit, from check-ups through to implants.
