Getting here from Chatswood by Metro or car
From Chatswood, specialist root canal treatment is one Metro stop away. The M1 runs south from Chatswood Interchange to Crows Nest, and Hume Street is about two minutes from the station.
- T1 train: via Artarmon to St Leonards, then a 10-minute walk.
- Driving: Albert Avenue to the Pacific Highway, 8 to 12 minutes off peak.
- Peak traffic slows the highway, so the Metro is often quicker.
- Parking: two free hours in the Hume Street council car park.
Why Chatswood dentists refer to an endodontist
A referral usually means a tooth is harder than usual to treat. Mild sensitivity is often your own dentist’s job. It becomes a specialist matter when:
- Hot or cold pain lingers after the drink
- Toothache starts on its own at night
- An old root canal is sore again
- Curved or calcified canals need a microscope
- Biting hurts, often from a crack
Our specialist endodontists on the Lower North Shore treat these problems routinely.

Root canal treatment one stop from Chatswood
Every procedure happens at our Crows Nest clinic, about 5 km south of Chatswood. Your own dentist stays involved and places the final crown or filling.
- Root canal therapy for an irritated or infected nerve
- Root canal retreatment when earlier treatment has failed
- Cracked tooth treatment to save the tooth early
- Apicoectomy for infection at the root tip
How a specialist root canal differs
A molar with four canals or a calcified canal is hard to treat with loupes alone. A crack below the gum can hide from a flat radiograph. Specialist Endo treats teeth under a dental operating microscope. A 3D CBCT scan maps the roots when the anatomy is unclear. Day surgery facilities across the hall mean IV sedation is available too.
How it Works
What to expect when you come to Crows Nest from Chatswood.
Consultation and scan
Your first visit covers an examination, pulp tests and radiographs, plus a CBCT scan if the anatomy needs it. You leave with a clear diagnosis and your treatment options.
Treatment under microscope
The tooth is numbed and isolated with a rubber dam. Canals are located, cleaned, shaped and filled under magnification. Most Chatswood patients need one or two appointments.
Back to your dentist
We send a report and images to your Chatswood dentist, who places the final crown or filling. A later review checks that the bone around the root is healing.

Chatswood patients often ask
Straight answers on sensitivity, specialists and the trip in from Chatswood.
Where can I see an endo near Chatswood?
At Specialist Endo in Crows Nest, one Metro stop south of Chatswood. Dr Omar Ikram and Dr Jasmine Holgate are registered specialist endodontists at Level 3, Suite 301, 34 Hume Street. The clinic is about two minutes on foot from Crows Nest station.
Is it worth seeing a specialist for my root canal?
For a difficult tooth, yes. General dentists handle many root canals well. A specialist is worth it for curved or calcified canals. The same goes for a failed earlier root canal, or pain that is hard to trace. You can book with us directly, without a referral.
My tooth is sensitive to cold. Do I need an endodontist?
Not always. Brief sensitivity that fades within seconds is usually managed by your own dentist. Cold pain that lingers, wakes you at night or comes with swelling can mean the nerve is inflamed. That is when an endodontist's assessment helps.
How do I get to Specialist Endo from Chatswood without a car?
Take the Sydney Metro one stop from Chatswood to Crows Nest, then walk about two minutes to 34 Hume Street. Or take the T1 train two stops to St Leonards, then walk about 10 minutes along the Pacific Highway.
My Chatswood root canal from years ago hurts again. What now?
It usually needs assessment for retreatment. A CBCT scan can show a missed canal or infection that persists at the root tip. Options include retreating the canals under the microscope or an apicoectomy. Extraction is a last resort, not the first step.
