When a Lavender Bay dentist refers you on
Your dentist may suggest a root canal specialist when a tooth needs magnification or imaging beyond a general surgery. Common reasons:
- Hot or cold pain that lingers
- A gum pimple near an old root filling
- A front tooth slowly darkening
- A molar that hurts on bite release
- Curved, narrow or calcified canals
Lavender Bay patients have root canal treatment in Crows Nest, the base for endodontic care across the Lower North Shore.

Root canal treatment and retreatment for Lavender Bay
Our aim is always to keep the natural tooth where that is realistic. These are the treatments people around the bay most often need.
- Root canal therapy to clear an inflamed or infected pulp
- Advanced canal location and retreatment for unhealed teeth
- Apicoectomy to remove infection at the root tip
- Internal bleaching for a darkened root-filled tooth
The equipment behind a specialist root canal
A molar can have four canals, some curved or very narrow. Every procedure here is done through a dental operating microscope, which gives a bright, magnified view down the canal. 3D CBCT imaging maps the roots when a plain X-ray falls short. Because day surgery facilities sit across the hall, treatment under IV sedation is also possible.
How it Works
From first phone call to finished crown, here is how care runs.
Diagnosis first
We start with a consultation at Hume Street. The tooth is tested, examined under magnification and imaged if needed. You leave knowing what is wrong and what it will cost.
Specialist treatment
Root canal work or retreatment is completed under local anaesthetic in one or two visits. Anxious patients can arrange IV sedation in the day surgery across the hall.
Restoration by your dentist
We send a report and images to your general dentist. They place the crown or filling that protects the tooth, and they keep monitoring it at check-ups.
The specialists Lavender Bay patients will meet
Specialist Endo is led by two registered specialist endodontists. Dr Omar Ikram holds BDS (Otago), FRACDS, MClinDent (London), MRD (Edinburgh), FICD and FPFA. Dr Ikram co-invented the EndoPrep app. Dr Ikram’s colleague Dr Jasmine Holgate brings a BDent, DClinDent and FICD. Both limit their practice to root canal care.
- A 3-year postgraduate specialist degree each
- Dental operating microscopes and 3D CBCT imaging
- Purpose-built endodontic clinic in Crows Nest
- Care shared with your own dentist

Lavender Bay patients ask us
Common questions about travel, cost, nerves and aftercare from people near the bay.
Where can I get a root canal done near Lavender Bay?
At Specialist Endo, 34 Hume Street, Crows Nest. It is 2.4 km from Lavender Bay. That is about 4 to 6 minutes by car outside peak, or one Metro stop from Victoria Cross. You can book directly on (02) 9129 0009 without a referral.
Can my regular dentist do the root canal, or should I see a specialist?
Plenty of straightforward root canals are well within your dentist's skills. A specialist makes more sense for a molar with curved or narrow canals. The same goes for a tooth that has already had a root canal, or pain nobody can pin down. Ask your dentist, or book with us directly.
Is the walk from Lavender Bay to Victoria Cross Metro manageable?
For most people, yes. It is about 10 minutes, but uphill from the harbour. If the climb is a concern, take the T1 from Milsons Point or North Sydney to St Leonards. Or drive and use the free 2-hour Hume Street council car park.
I am terrified of dental treatment. What can you do for me?
We can complete your root canal under IV sedation. Day surgery facilities are located across the hall from our clinic, so sedation is given in a properly equipped setting. You will need a responsible adult to take you home afterwards.
What should I do if my face swells before my appointment?
Call us on (02) 9129 0009 so we can advise you. Go to a hospital emergency department first if swelling spreads towards your eye or neck. Do the same for fever or trouble swallowing. Then contact us to arrange treatment.
