When a knocked tooth turns grey
A fall from a bike or a knock at sport can bruise a front tooth. Some injured teeth quietly lose their blood supply and darken months or years later. Common reasons for a visit:
- A tooth that turned grey after a knock
- Toothache lingering after hot or cold drinks
- Night pain with no obvious trigger
- A gum boil above a tooth
- An old root canal that flared up
Our endodontists serving the Lower North Shore manage each of these.

Technology behind a specialist result
A specialist’s edge is mostly what they can see. A dental operating microscope brings fine canal openings, cracks and old filling fragments into sharp view. Some North Willoughby patients need root canal treatment on an injured front tooth. A 3D CBCT scan first checks for a root fracture a normal radiograph misses. Because day surgery facilities sit across the hall, IV sedation is an option.
How it Works
Your path from North Willoughby to Crows Nest and back.
Consultation
Bring your referral and radiographs if you have them. We test the tooth and take extra images, including CBCT if needed. Then we discuss a root canal, retreatment, surgery or bleaching.
Treatment visits
A root canal is done under local anaesthetic through the microscope, usually over one or two appointments. Internal bleaching follows on a discoloured front tooth and may need more than one application.
Restoration and review
We write to your North Willoughby dentist with the outcome and images, and they complete the crown or filling. A later review confirms the tooth and surrounding bone have settled.

Asked by North Willoughby patients
Plain answers about distance, bookings, first visits and discoloured front teeth.
How far is Specialist Endo from North Willoughby?
About 4 km by road. Take Horsley Avenue to Penshurst Street, then Willoughby Road south into Crows Nest. It takes roughly 7 to 10 minutes outside peak. The Hume Street council car park, a short walk from the clinic, is free for two hours.
Can I book a local endodontist without my dentist's referral?
Yes. You can just call (02) 9129 0009 and describe the problem. A referral helps because it usually comes with radiographs and history, but it is not required. Your North Willoughby dentist can email any recent radiographs to us before the visit.
Is an endodontist different from my regular dentist?
Yes. Endodontists are dentists with three more years of postgraduate training, registered as specialists in endodontics. The work is limited to the inside of the tooth and the root. Your regular dentist still handles check-ups, fillings and crowns.
My front tooth went grey after a knock years ago. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes. A grey front tooth often means the pulp died after the injury. A root canal removes the dead tissue, then internal bleaching lightens the tooth from inside. It can avoid the need for a veneer or crown. A CBCT scan first rules out a root fracture.
What happens at the first appointment?
The endodontist reviews your history, examines the tooth and tests the pulp with cold and gentle tapping. Radiographs follow, sometimes with a CBCT scan. You then hear the diagnosis and your options before deciding how to proceed.
