Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdPutney sits on the northern bank of the Parramatta River, so the trip starts by crossing it. From Charles Street and Phillip Road, work down to Church Street and over to Concord Road, then take Homebush Bay Drive onto the M4 and through the M4 East Tunnel to Parramatta Road.
It’s 16.6 km and about 28 minutes outside peak, longer than a local visit, so a time that avoids rush hour helps. Rhodes and Meadowbank stations are 1.9 km away and the 507 runs locally, but there’s no direct service, so driving is easiest. Street parking is on Marrickville Road and MacArthur Parade.
Open until 8pmIf you’re coming from Putney, it helps to bundle things together. A dental check-up, X-rays when due and a thorough clean can all happen in one appointment, and any follow-up work is explained before you head home.
Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings run until 8pm, which gives you time to get through Concord Road traffic after work. Friday and Saturday appointments start from 9am and finish at 3pm, for anyone who prefers daylight driving.
Saturday family visitsDriving several people to separate appointments in different places quickly adds up. We see parents and children here, so a Saturday morning can cover children’s dental check-ups and your own exam in a single trip.
Kids who kick a ball around Kissing Point Park or nearby Cleves Park can be fitted with custom mouthguards made from moulds of their own teeth. Little ones get short, positive first visits, with sealants and fluoride as they grow.
Same-visit crownsImplant treatment involves several stages, so having the consultation, placement and final crown at the same practice saves you juggling clinics. Read about dental implants near Putney, including All-on-4 for a full arch of teeth.
Single damaged teeth can often be restored with in-house dental crowns in one visit. For cosmetic changes we offer teeth whitening, bonding and veneers in composite or E-max, each discussed at a consultation with costs explained.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos has more than 25 years in practice and leads the clinic day to day. Read about The Smile Spot and meet our team to see who’ll be looking after you when you visit from Putney.
