504 Marrickville RdFrom Regent Street, join New Canterbury Road, take Wardell Road down to Marrickville Road and turn into MacArthur Parade beside the clinic. The 2.2 km run takes around five minutes outside peak. You’ll find street parking in MacArthur Parade and on Marrickville Road, with some timed bays.
On public transport, the 428, 445 and 428X buses travel from Petersham to the clinic with no change. Petersham station is handy for the city, but light rail doesn’t reach the suburb, so the bus is the easier way to get to us.
Open until 8pmPetersham is only about six kilometres from the CBD, and if your workday is in town, our 8pm close on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays means you can come in on the way home. Fridays and Saturdays run 9am to 3pm.
A check-up here covers an exam, digital X-rays when needed and a professional clean, usually in the one appointment. Read more about dental check-ups and exams and scale and clean appointments, including how often most adults should come in.
Saturday family visitsSaturday is often the easiest day for families, so those sessions run from 9am to 3pm. Book a morning visit and there’s still time for Petersham Park or Maundrell Park afterwards. Young children get short, unhurried first visits that build their confidence.
We provide children’s dental check-ups, fissure sealants and fluoride, explained in plain language for parents and kids alike. For children playing winter or summer sport, a custom-made mouthguard is fitted to their teeth at the clinic.
Same-visit crownsPetersham is known for its Portuguese restaurants, and good food, coffee and red wine can all leave their mark. Teeth whitening is a simple place to start, while bonding and dental veneers can reshape chipped or uneven teeth. Costs are explained after an exam.
Because we make dental crowns in-house, many can be fitted the same visit, which saves a second trip for a cracked or worn tooth. If you’ve lost a tooth, find out about dental implants near Petersham, from single implants to All-on-4.
The clinic is run by Dr Dimitrios Thanos, who has been treating patients for more than 25 years. Laser dentistry and digital X-rays are part of everyday care. Get to know our Dulwich Hill team and read about The Smile Spot before you book.
