Directions from Longueville to Hume Street
Longueville sits on a peninsula on the Lane Cove River. Head up Kenneth Street to Northwood Road, the same road out of Northwood, then follow River Road east. Greenwich Road climbs to the Pacific Highway and Crows Nest. The 3.9 km drive takes about 6 to 9 minutes.

- Buses from Lane Cove village run along the Pacific Highway
- St Leonards station is about a 10-minute walk away
What sends Longueville patients to a specialist
Your Lane Cove dentist will often treat a front tooth with one straight canal. Harder cases suit our Lower North Shore endodontic practice, where every tooth is treated under a microscope:
- A molar with several canals
- A curved or narrow root
- An old root filling that has failed
- Facial swelling or night-time pain
- A tooth knocked loose
Swelling, sleepless pain and injuries should not wait.

Root canal treatment for Longueville locals
The practice is limited to endodontics, so every appointment is about saving a tooth. Treatments include:
- Root canal therapy for inflamed or dead pulp
- Root canal retreatment when earlier treatment has not healed
- Cracked tooth treatment to diagnose and stabilise
- IV sedation across the hall for anxious patients
A displaced or knocked-out tooth should be seen as soon as possible.
How Crows Nest treatment differs
Under high magnification, the endodontist can see canal entrances, fine cracks in dentine and remnants of old filling material. That is the job of the dental operating microscope.
In-clinic CBCT imaging reveals extra roots, curved canals and the size of any lesion in the bone. Anxious patients can be sedated, because the day surgery sits directly across the hall.
How it Works
Care for Longueville patients runs from assessment to crown in three steps.
First visit
We take a history, test the tooth and review radiographs, adding a CBCT scan if needed. You hear the diagnosis and options, then decide how to proceed.
Specialist procedure
Your root canal, retreatment or surgery is completed under local anaesthetic and the microscope. Most cases need one or two appointments, with IV sedation if you want it.
Crown at your dentist
We seal the tooth and send your dentist a report with images. They then place the permanent restoration, which helps protect the root-filled tooth from fracture.

Longueville patients ask us
Straightforward answers on getting here, symptoms and recovery.
Is there a dentist near Longueville who only does root canals?
Yes. Specialist Endo in Crows Nest, 6 to 9 minutes' drive away, limits its work to endodontics. Dr Omar Ikram and Dr Jasmine Holgate are registered specialists. Your usual dentist keeps looking after check-ups, fillings and the final crown.
Is root canal treatment in Crows Nest easy to reach from Longueville?
Yes. The drive via Northwood Road, River Road and Greenwich Road takes about 6 to 9 minutes. Parking on Hume Street is free for 2 hours. Without a car, buses from Lane Cove village run along the Pacific Highway to Crows Nest.
What is the little pimple on my gum near a tooth?
It is likely a sinus tract, a small channel draining infection from the root tip. It usually means the pulp has died and the canal needs treating. It will not heal properly until the tooth itself is treated.
Should I save my tooth with a root canal or have it extracted?
In most cases, a treatable natural tooth is worth keeping. It preserves bone, bite and appearance without needing a replacement. A specialist assessment tells you whether your tooth is a good candidate, or whether extraction makes more sense.
How sore will I be after the root canal?
Mild tenderness on biting for a few days is common. It usually settles with over-the-counter pain relief. Severe pain or swelling is unusual, so report it to the practice the same day. Your dentist's crown later protects the tooth.
