Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdStart on Smith Street and join the Princes Highway, then take Railway Road and Gleeson Avenue across to Railway Parade. Marrickville Road brings you right to us, with MacArthur Parade beside the clinic for parking, though some bays are timed. Count on about 4.1 km and 10 minutes outside peak.
Without a car, the 418 bus links Tempe and the clinic directly, which is handy if you live near Tempe station or the Princes Highway. Check the timetable before you leave, and there’s no change to worry about along the way.
Open until 8pmWith Airport Drive and the Princes Highway on its doorstep, Tempe is well placed for getting around, and a 10-minute hop to the clinic is easy to slot in. Appointments run to 8pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays for anyone who can’t get away earlier.
A check-up includes an exam and digital X-rays when they’re due, and a clean takes care of the tartar that brushing misses. Learn more about regular dental check-ups and hygiene appointments. If anything needs follow-up, Dr Thanos will explain it before more treatment is booked.
Saturday family visitsKids who spend their weekends at Tempe Reserve, Tempe Lands or Sydenham Green can come in on a Saturday between 9am and 3pm, so school days stay untouched. Brothers and sisters can usually be booked one after the other.
Children are welcome from their first visit through to their teens, with fissure sealants and fluoride where helpful. See dentistry for kids, and ask about mouthguards for sport before the season begins. Fittings can be done on a Saturday too.
Same-visit crownsTeeth that have yellowed with coffee or time may respond to teeth whitening. For chips, gaps or uneven edges, bonding or composite and ceramic veneers are worth discussing. Dr Thanos will explain the options and costs once he’s examined your teeth.
A broken tooth doesn’t always mean multiple visits. With crowns made in-house, many can be finished in one appointment. For gaps where a tooth is missing, read about dental implants near Tempe, including All-on-4 for patients replacing a full arch.
Dr Dimitrios Thanos has worked as a dentist for more than 25 years, and the clinic uses laser dentistry and digital X-rays. Meet the Smile Spot team or read about us before you book your first visit.
