Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdIt’s 28.1 km. From Village Green Parade and Memorial Avenue, follow Mona Vale Road to Ryde Road, then Lane Cove Road, Devlin Street and Church Street. Concord Road and Homebush Bay Drive lead you to the M4 and the M4 East Tunnel, which come out on Parramatta Road before you carry on to Marrickville Road. About 45 minutes outside peak.
The nearest train station is Pymble, 2.4 km away, and public transport to Dulwich Hill needs a change, so the drive is the simplest way. Parking is on Marrickville Road and in MacArthur Parade beside the clinic. Several bays are timed.
Open until 8pmPlenty of patients prefer an evening slot so the day isn’t broken up. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday appointments run until 8pm, while Friday and Saturday hours are 9am to 3pm. We’re closed Wednesday and Sunday.
A routine dental exam checks teeth, gums and existing fillings, with digital X-rays as needed. Add a teeth clean and polish and it’s all wrapped up in a single visit.
Saturday family visitsSaturday mornings are easy to plan around, perhaps after a run around St Ives Memorial Park or Ivor Wyatt Reserve. Dentistry for children here covers first visits, fluoride, fissure sealants and simple fillings.
Children who play winter or summer sport benefit from a custom sports mouthguard. We take an impression and have it made to their bite, so it’s snug rather than bulky.
Same-visit crownsOlder fillings and cracked teeth are common reasons for a crown. Ours are made in-house, so many can be finished in one appointment. For gaps, dental implants near St Ives are planned and placed at the clinic, from single teeth to All-on-4.
Interested in a cosmetic change? Options include teeth whitening, bonding and veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn. We explain what each involves, and the cost, after an exam.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos, principal dentist, has more than 25 years in practice. Appointments for larger work can be grouped to cut down trips from the Upper North Shore. Meet the clinic team or read about us.
