504 Marrickville RdSt James covers the stretch of the city from Elizabeth Street through to Macquarie Street, centred on St James’ Church on King Street. By car, head out via College Street and Wentworth Avenue, cross town on Hay, Pitt and George Streets, then let Broadway and Parramatta Road carry you west.
After Parramatta Road it’s Cannon Street, Westbourne Street, Crystal Street and New Canterbury Road onto Marrickville Road, roughly 9 km and 21 minutes outside peak. Rather leave the car? The L1 from Capitol Square goes directly to Dulwich Grove and Dulwich Hill. Drivers can park in MacArthur Parade or on Marrickville Road, minding the timed bays.
Open until 8pmWynyard and Town Hall are both under a kilometre from St James, so moving around town is rarely the problem. Finding the time is. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday appointments run until 8pm, which means a visit can wait until after you clock off.
Most regular visits are straightforward: we examine your teeth and gums, take digital X-rays when they’re due and finish with a clean. Here’s more on regular check-ups and on scale and clean appointments.
Saturday family visitsSaturday hours run 9am to 3pm, so school mornings stay untouched. Pair the trip with a morning in Hyde Park or a lap of Stockland Piccadilly on the way home, and the visit becomes part of the weekend rather than a chore.
We look after toddlers, school kids and teens, with fluoride, sealants and plain explanations along the way. Read about dental care for children, and talk to us about mouthguards for sport if they train or play on weekends.
Same-visit crownsSome patients want a brighter colour before a big event, others want an old chip fixed. Options include whitening treatment, tooth bonding and E-max, Zirkonzahn or composite veneers. Costs, payment plans and health fund claims are talked through after your exam.
A tooth weakened by a large filling may need a crown, and ours are made here in the clinic, so it can often be done in one visit. See how our crowns work. For gaps, start with dental implants near St James.
Our principal dentist, Dr Dimitrios Thanos, brings more than 25 years of practice to every appointment. You can meet the team before you visit, or learn more about our Dulwich Hill clinic and how it runs.
