Henley sits near the Gladesville Bridge, next to Huntleys Cove. Take Crown Street to Victoria Road, then turn onto Burns Bay Road through Lane Cove. Centennial Avenue carries you up to Epping Road and on to the Pacific Highway. Outside peak, expect 12 to 18 minutes.

What happens when your Henley dentist refers you
The referral reaches us with X-rays and a note, and a root canal specialist sees you in Crows Nest. Common reasons include:
- A molar canal your dentist could not find
- New infection in an old root canal
- Sharp biting pain suggesting a crack
- Needing IV sedation to cope with treatment
You can also phone directly, and we request records from your dentist. Henley is one of the river suburbs covered by our Lower North Shore endodontic care.

Root canal treatment Henley patients travel for
For most Henley patients, root canal treatment is the first step. The list below covers it and what may follow, with links for detail.
- Root canal therapy, first-line care for an infected pulp
- Root canal retreatment for missed canals or a leaking seal
- Cracked tooth care once a fracture is confirmed
- IV sedation when anxiety makes treatment hard
The tools you will see in the room
The most obvious is the dental operating microscope above the chair. Dr Ikram and Dr Holgate work through it for the whole procedure. It shows individual canal openings and hairline cracks.
The CBCT scanner produces a 3D image of the tooth and jaw. Rotary and ultrasonic instruments shape and clean curved canals. Sedation is available through the day surgery across the hall.
How it Works
Treatment for a Henley patient follows three stages.
Examination and diagnosis
At the Crows Nest consultation we test the tooth, review your dentist's films and scan if necessary. You leave with a written plan and the fee for each part.
Cleaning the canals
Canals are cleaned, shaped, disinfected and filled under the microscope with local anaesthetic, generally in one or two visits. Sedation, if chosen, is arranged across the hall.
Crown from your dentist
We seal the tooth and send your Henley dentist a report with images. They then provide the crown or filling that keeps the tooth strong.
The endodontists who treat Henley patients
EndoPrep app co-inventor Dr Omar Ikram holds BDS (Otago), FRACDS, MClinDent (London), MRD (Edinburgh), FICD and FPFA. Dr Jasmine Holgate‘s degrees and fellowship are BDent, DClinDent and FICD. Each is a registered specialist endodontist. In Australia that requires a three-year postgraduate degree beyond dentistry.
Their Crows Nest clinic was purpose-built for endodontics. Dental operating microscopes, 3D CBCT and IV sedation via the day surgery across the hall are all on hand. You can browse treated cases in the practice’s case gallery before booking.

Henley patients ask us
Plain answers on buses, hidden pain, antibiotics and timing your crown.
Is there a root canal specialist close to Henley?
Yes. Specialist Endo Sydney in Crows Nest is 12 to 18 minutes' drive via Victoria Road, Burns Bay Road and Epping Road. Dr Omar Ikram and Dr Jasmine Holgate are both registered specialist endodontists. You can book directly or ask your dentist to refer you.
How do I get from Henley to Specialist Endo without driving?
Take a Victoria Road bus to the city, then the Metro north to Crows Nest station. The clinic is a two-minute walk from there, at 34 Hume Street. Driving is usually quicker, and the council car park nearby is free for two hours.
Can you look at a tooth that hurts but looks fine on X-ray?
Yes. Pain without an obvious cause on a standard X-ray is a common reason to see an endodontist. Pulp testing, the microscope and a CBCT scan can reveal cracks, extra canals or early infection that flat films miss.
My Henley dentist gave me antibiotics for an abscess. Do I still need treatment?
Yes. Antibiotics can ease swelling and pain for a short time, but they cannot remove the infected pulp inside the tooth. The infection usually returns. Removing the pulp, through a root canal or retreatment, deals with the source. Book once the acute swelling settles.
How soon after the root canal should I get my crown?
Soon. A root-filled back tooth without a crown is vulnerable to fracture. The temporary seal we place is not designed to last long. We send your dentist a report so the crown can be scheduled promptly.
