Knocks, cracks and toothache in Naremburn
A knocked tooth can look fine for months, then slowly darken as the pulp dies. That is often when a Naremburn dentist suggests a root canal specialist. Other reasons:
- Sports or playground injuries to front teeth
- Molars that hurt when you release a bite
- Sensitivity that lingers after cold
- Throbbing at night or gum swelling
Naremburn sits just north of our rooms, one of the nearest suburbs we serve as a specialist endodontist on the Lower North Shore.

Root canal treatment for Naremburn families
The clinic handles problems inside the tooth and around the root tip. For Naremburn that usually means:
- Root canal therapy after trauma or infection
- Treatment of cracked teeth, from diagnosis to sealing
- Internal bleaching of a discoloured tooth
- Root end surgery when infection persists
Afterwards, the crown or final filling is done by your family dentist.
How specialist equipment changes the outcome
Under a dental operating microscope, the endodontist can see a hairline crack, an extra canal or a calcified entrance. For a knocked front tooth, a 3D CBCT scan shows whether the root has fractured and where infection sits. That guides the choice between treatment, surgery or monitoring. If fear is the barrier, IV sedation is given in the day surgery across the hall.
How it Works
Three steps take a Naremburn patient from referral to a restored tooth.
First appointment
The tooth is examined and tested, and radiographs or a CBCT scan are taken. The specialist explains what is wrong and what can be done. If it cannot be saved, you will be told honestly.
Specialist treatment
A root canal, a retreatment or surgery is done under local anaesthetic and the microscope. Most teeth are finished in one or two visits, with sedation across the hall if needed.
Home to your dentist
Your Naremburn dentist receives a report and images, then completes the crown or filling that protects the tooth. The clinic can review the tooth later to check healing is on track.
Why Naremburn patients choose the Crows Nest specialists
Dr Omar Ikram trained in Otago, London and Edinburgh. Dr Ikram holds a BDS, FRACDS, MClinDent, MRD, FICD and FPFA, and co-invented the EndoPrep app.
Dr Jasmine Holgate brings a BDent, a DClinDent and FICD. Both are registered specialist endodontists, having completed the postgraduate training that specialist registration requires. They see Naremburn patients in a purpose-built Crows Nest clinic with dental operating microscopes, 3D CBCT imaging, and day surgery facilities across the hall.

Naremburn residents ask
Answers on the walk, knocked teeth, cracks, referrals and dental nerves.
Is root canal treatment in Crows Nest walkable from Naremburn?
Yes, for most of Naremburn. Allow 15 to 20 minutes, following Willoughby Road south into Crows Nest. The clinic is at 34 Hume Street, Level 3. From the Bicentennial Reserve end, allow the full 20, or drive on a sore day.
My child knocked a front tooth. When should a specialist check it?
See your dentist first for the immediate check and any splinting. If the tooth later darkens, turns tender or grows a gum pimple, a specialist assessment is due. A CBCT scan then checks the root before treatment or monitoring is advised.
Can a cracked or broken tooth be saved, or does it come out?
Many cracked teeth can be saved if the crack has not run below the bone. The endodontist examines the tooth under the microscope and often takes a 3D scan. If it is treatable, the tooth is root filled and your dentist crowns it.
Do I need a specialist, or can my Naremburn dentist handle it?
Your dentist decides first, and many root canals are within their scope. They refer when a tooth is cracked, calcified, previously treated or badly infected. You can also call (02) 9129 0009 directly, without a referral, and your dentist stays in the loop.
What if I am too nervous for treatment?
Very nervous patients can be treated under IV sedation, given in the day surgery facilities across the hall. Tell the team when you book so it can be planned ahead. You go home the same day, with someone to accompany you.
