Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdFrom Reserve Road, join the Pacific Highway and drop down to Berry Street and Arthur Street for the Warringah Freeway. Cross on the Bradfield Highway, take the Western Distributor, then The Crescent and Johnston Street to Parramatta Road and on to Marrickville Road. Allow about 32 minutes for 16.1 km outside peak.
St Leonards station is only 0.2 km from the centre, though no bus or light rail goes direct to the clinic, so public transport involves a change. Most visits are easier by car. Street parking is on Marrickville Road and in MacArthur Parade, with some timed bays.
Open until 8pmSt Leonards spans several council areas on the lower North Shore, and the drive to Dulwich Hill is a solid half-hour run. Weeknights until 8pm on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, or Saturdays from 9am to 3pm, let you travel without taking leave.
Routine visits combine an exam, a clean and digital X-rays when they’re due. Find out more about dental check-ups and professional cleaning. If treatment is needed, Dr Thanos will explain the options and costs before anything goes ahead.
Saturday family visitsSaturday is the natural day to bring children over from St Leonards. Book everyone in one after another and a single drive covers the family. Kids are seen for check-ups, cleans and fillings, with each step explained before it happens.
Sport-mad teenagers can be fitted for custom sports mouthguards made to their teeth rather than bought off the shelf. Our children’s dentistry page covers first visits and how to help a nervous child feel ready.
Same-visit crownsWith a 32-minute drive, it helps that so much happens in-house. Dental crowns are made here, often fitted the same day, and dental implants near St Leonards are planned and placed at the clinic, including All-on-4.
To change how your teeth look, ask about whitening, bonding or veneers in composite, E-max or Zirkonzahn. Everything begins with a consultation, with fees set out after an exam. Health fund claims and payment plans can be talked over at the front desk.
There’s no getting around it: 32 minutes is a fair way. It suits people who want a long-term clinic for the whole family, led by Dr Dimitrios Thanos with more than 25 years in practice. Meet our dental team or read about The Smile Spot.
