Why Lane Cove North dentists refer to us
Not every tooth needs a root canal specialist. A single straight canal is often treated by your local dentist. Referral to endodontists serving the Lower North Shore usually follows when:
- A molar canal cannot be located
- Canals look curved, narrow or calcified
- An old root canal is infected again
- A crack needs checking under magnification
Throbbing, swelling or pain on biting? Call and we will advise.

Root canal treatment for Lane Cove North
Care ranges from a first root canal to surgery at the root tip:
- Root canal therapy for inflamed or infected pulp
- Retreatment of a failed root canal, including missed canals
- Root end surgery when infection persists
- Treatment of cracked teeth, from diagnosis onwards
Knocked or loosened teeth also respond best when seen quickly, so call early after an injury.
The technology used for your tooth
Specialist endodontics depends on seeing what the naked eye cannot. The dental operating microscope magnifies the pulp chamber floor, revealing canal entrances smaller than a pinhead.
Our in-clinic CBCT scanner is used selectively. It can map a curved root before retreatment, or measure a lesion before surgery. For patients who cannot face treatment awake, IV sedation is given in the day surgery across the hall.
How it Works
From Lane Cove North to a restored tooth in three steps.
Consult
The first visit is an assessment with pulp testing, radiographs and CBCT if required. You receive a clear diagnosis and recommendation. Nothing starts without your agreement.
Treat
The root canal or retreatment is performed under local anaesthetic with the microscope and rubber dam. Simple cases take one visit, while molars and retreatments usually take two.
Restore
Your dentist receives a report and images, then places the permanent crown or filling. Booking that visit promptly helps protect the root-filled tooth from cracking.

FAQs for Lane Cove North patients
What locals ask before booking a specialist endodontist in Crows Nest.
How do I book root canal treatment in Crows Nest from Lane Cove North?
Call (02) 9129 0009 or send an enquiry through the contact page. You do not need a referral. If your dentist has already sent one, mention it when you call. Bring any recent X-rays to your first visit.
Can a failed root canal be redone instead of pulling the tooth?
Often, yes. Many patients see us for a second opinion before an extraction. The microscope and a CBCT scan show whether a canal was missed and how much sound tooth remains. You leave with an honest recommendation, even if it is extraction.
How experienced are the endodontists in Crows Nest?
Both are registered specialists, which requires a three-year postgraduate degree after dental school. Dr Omar Ikram trained at Otago, London and Edinburgh and co-invented the EndoPrep app. Dr Jasmine Holgate holds a Doctor of Clinical Dentistry and is a Fellow of the ICD.
How do I get to Crows Nest from Lane Cove North without driving?
Take a bus along Mowbray Road to Chatswood Interchange, then the M1 Metro one stop to Crows Nest. The clinic at 34 Hume Street is about 2 minutes on foot from the station. No train transfer is needed.
Will Epping Road traffic make a morning appointment hard?
It can add a few minutes. Allow up to 11 minutes rather than 7 at peak. If mornings are difficult, ask for a mid-morning or early afternoon time when you book. Free 2-hour parking on Hume Street saves hunting for a space.
