Signs your St Leonards dentist will refer you
St Leonards spans three council areas, including Lane Cove Council, and dentists in all three refer to a root canal specialist for the same signs:
- Pain long after a hot drink
- An ache with no obvious trigger
- Soreness only when you bite
- A gum boil that discharges
- An old root canal still tender
Early checks give the tooth a better chance. Our Lower North Shore endodontic practice is one suburb over.

Root canal treatment near St Leonards
The clinic covers the full range of endodontic care, from first root canals to surgery. Common referrals from the precinct include:
- Specialist root canal therapy for a dying nerve
- Retreatment of a failed root canal
- Cracked tooth care, including restorability checks
- Apicoectomy to clear infection at the root tip
Afterwards, your general dentist completes the crown or filling.
Microscopes, CBCT and why they matter
A dental operating microscope puts bright, magnified light inside the tooth. It helps the endodontist find extra canals, remove broken instruments and treat calcified roots.
3D CBCT imaging is taken on site, so there is no separate trip for a scan. Anyone anxious about needles can ask about IV sedation, provided by the day surgery facilities across the hall.
How it Works
From your first phone call to a finished tooth, here is the sequence.
Assessment and scan
The endodontist examines the tooth, tests the pulp and takes radiographs, often with a CBCT scan. You leave with a clear diagnosis and a plan. Nothing starts without your agreement.
Root canal or surgery
Treatment is done under local anaesthetic with the operating microscope, in one visit or two. Afterwards, most St Leonards patients can walk straight back to work or the station.
Crown with your dentist
Your general dentist receives a written report and images, then places the permanent crown or filling. They can contact the endodontist directly if any questions come up.
The specialists who treat St Leonards patients
Two registered specialist endodontists lead the practice, which is a short walk from the St Leonards hospital precinct.
- Dr Omar Ikram: BDS (Otago), FRACDS, MClinDent (London), MRD (Edinburgh), FICD and FPFA, and co-inventor of the EndoPrep app.
- Dr Jasmine Holgate: BDent, DClinDent and FICD.
- A purpose-built clinic in Crows Nest with operating microscopes and 3D CBCT imaging.
- Day surgery facilities across the hall, so IV sedation needs no second site.

St Leonards patients often ask
Quick answers on stations, hospital shifts, failed root canals and fees.
Where can I get root canal treatment close to St Leonards?
At 34 Hume Street, Crows Nest, about ten minutes' walk from St Leonards station along the Pacific Highway. Both clinicians are registered specialist endodontists. You can book yourself on (02) 9129 0009, or your dentist can refer you.
Should I get off at St Leonards or Crows Nest?
Crows Nest Metro is closer, about two minutes' walk from the clinic. St Leonards station on the T1 line is about ten minutes on foot down the Pacific Highway. If your trip starts on a T1 station without Metro access, St Leonards is still simple.
I work at Royal North Shore. Can I book around my roster?
Often, yes. The clinic is a short walk from the hospital precinct. Call (02) 9129 0009, explain your roster, and reception will look for a weekday time that suits. Ask which visits suit a day off better.
My old root canal hurts again. Does it need redoing?
Possibly. A root-filled tooth that turns tender or swells may have a missed canal, a leak or a new crack. The endodontist examines it under the microscope, with a CBCT scan if needed. Retreatment or minor surgery may save the tooth.
Will I be told the fee before any work starts?
Yes, just ask. Fees depend on the tooth, the number of canals and whether surgery is likely. They can be discussed once the consultation is done, before treatment starts. You can then talk the estimate over with your own dentist.
