Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdLeave Rockdale on Bay Street and West Botany Street, then join the Princes Highway heading north. Turn off at Gannon Street onto Unwins Bridge Road, and follow Richardsons Crescent, Carrington Road and Warren Road to Illawarra Road. Petersham Road brings you out on Marrickville Road. It’s 8.2 km, around 17 minutes outside peak.
Rockdale station is close to the town centre, but there isn’t a direct service to Dulwich Hill, so going by public transport means changing. For most people in the St George area, the car is simpler. Park on Marrickville Road or in MacArthur Parade beside the clinic, and keep an eye on the timed bays.
Open until 8pmSeventeen minutes isn’t around the corner, so the hours matter. You can book as late as 8pm on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, or come between 9am and 3pm on Friday and Saturday. For many people that’s easier than squeezing in a rushed lunchtime visit.
Each routine dental check-up covers your teeth, gums and any earlier work, with digital X-rays when they’re due. We follow it with a scale and clean to clear tartar and leave your teeth smooth and fresh.
Saturday family visitsWhen the drive is a little longer, booking the whole family on the same Saturday makes sense. Parents and children can be seen back to back, leaving the rest of the weekend free, perhaps for Rockdale Park or Hogben Park once you’re home. First visits for little ones are short and relaxed.
Kids playing football, rugby or netball need a mouthguard that suits the shape of their own teeth. We take a mould and make it to fit. Find out about custom mouthguards for sport and our approach to caring for children’s teeth.
Same-visit crownsLonger treatments are where one clinic pays off. Implants and All-on-4 are planned and placed here, so you aren’t travelling between different practices. Learn more about dental implants near Rockdale, and for damaged teeth, ask about our same-visit crowns, which are made in the clinic.
Cosmetic changes are discussed after an exam, with costs explained before anything starts. We offer teeth whitening, bonding for small chips and composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn veneers, depending on what suits your teeth, your bite and the look you’re hoping for.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos leads the clinic with more than 25 years of experience, supported by laser dentistry and digital X-rays. Before your first trip up from Rockdale, read about the people you’ll meet and our Dulwich Hill practice.
