Easy ParkingStreet parking on Marrickville Rd
504 Marrickville RdWest Killara is a locality within Killara on the Upper North Shore, about 14 km north-west of the CBD. Take Moore Avenue and Bradfield Road to Lady Game Drive, then Ryde Road and Lane Cove Road into Devlin Street and Church Street. Concord Road and Homebush Bay Drive lead to the Western Motorway, the M4 East Tunnel and Parramatta Road.
That’s 24 km, roughly 40 minutes outside peak. Lindfield station is 1.9 km away and Gordon 2.4 km, but public transport to the clinic needs a change, so driving is the simplest way. Park on Marrickville Road or in MacArthur Parade beside us, watching the timed bays.
Open until 8pmFor a routine clean alone, a closer clinic may suit you better. The drive makes more sense if you already spend time in the inner west, prefer an evening visit, or want one clinic for everything from check-ups to implants. Evenings run until 8pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
A check-up covers an exam, digital X-rays when they’re due, and a scale and polish. See our check-up appointments and teeth cleaning for what to expect, and book a late slot if daytime is tricky.
Saturday family visitsWhen the drive is this long, one Saturday trip for the whole family beats several separate ones. We open 9am to 3pm, so you can book parents and children close together and be back for an afternoon walk around Jinkers Green or Queen Elizabeth Reserve.
Kids’ visits start with getting comfortable, then check-ups, fluoride and fissure sealants when useful. If they play contact sport, ask about a guard made from moulds of their teeth. More on children’s dentistry and custom-made sports mouthguards.
Same-visit crownsBigger treatment is where the trip pays off. Planning and placing dental implants near West Killara all happens at our clinic, whether it’s one tooth or All-on-4. Many crowns are made in-house and fitted at the same visit, cutting down on return drives.
If you’re thinking about appearance, ask about whitening, bonding, or composite, E-max and Zirkonzahn veneers. Costs are explained after an exam, and payment plans and health fund claims can be discussed when you’re here for your exam.
