Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdIt’s a fair run from the beach: 23 km, about 43 minutes outside peak. Head out along Struthers Street, Ewos Parade and Gerrale Street to the Kingsway, then follow Taren Point Road and Rocky Point Road up to the Princes Highway. Gannon Street, Unwins Bridge Road, Carrington Road and Warren Road bring you on to Marrickville Road.
Street parking is on Marrickville Road and in MacArthur Parade beside the clinic, though some bays are timed. Cronulla station is about 1.0 km from Shelly Beach and Woolooware about 2.1 km, but getting to us by public transport needs a change, so the car is the simpler choice.
Open until 8pmWith a trip of this length, it helps to make each visit count. Book a late slot on a Monday, Tuesday or Thursday, when the doors stay open until 8pm, and the appointment can happen after work rather than in the middle of your day. Saturday mornings are there too if weekdays are already full.
A regular visit includes an exam, a scale and clean, and digital X-rays when they’re due, so small problems can be picked up early. Read more about dental check-ups and professional teeth cleaning before you book.
Saturday family visitsFamilies who spend weekends at nearby Shelly Park, Oak Park or Gunnamatta Park often find Saturday the easiest day for a longer drive. Book siblings back to back and everyone can be seen in one outing, from a toddler’s first look in the chair to fissure sealants for older kids.
If your children play contact sport, a mouthguard made from a mould of their own teeth sits snugly and stays put during a game. See children’s dentistry and custom sports mouthguards for more on each, or ask us when you call.
Same-visit crownsCoffee, tea and the years can dull a smile or leave a chipped edge. Teeth whitening, bonding and porcelain or composite veneers all start with a consultation, so you hear the options and the costs before anything is booked or started.
Our dental crowns are made in-house, so a crowned tooth can often be finished in a single visit, which matters when you’re driving 23 km each way. Missing a tooth? Read about dental implants near Shelly Beach, planned and placed at the one clinic.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos has more than 25 years in practice and leads the clinic, using laser dentistry and digital X-rays for everyday care. You can meet our team or read about The Smile Spot before your first visit.
