When a Riverview tooth needs a specialist
A sporting knock or a slow-building ache can both mean the pulp is in trouble.
- A front tooth greying after a knock
- Toothache that wakes you at night
- Hot drinks causing pain that lingers
- Pain when biting on one tooth
- An old root canal aching again
As a specialist endodontist on the Lower North Shore, we see these signs often. Ring (02) 9129 0009 and we will say how soon to come in.

Root canal treatment for Riverview patients
Whether the problem is a sore molar or a front tooth knocked at sport, care happens in Crows Nest. Each option has its own page.

What the microscope changes for Riverview teeth
Inside a root canal, the anatomy is measured in fractions of a millimetre. Our dental operating microscopes give a bright, magnified view down each canal. 3D CBCT imaging shows root shape and infection before treatment starts.
Rotary instruments and ultrasonic cleaning then shape and disinfect the canals. The day surgery across the hall allows IV sedation when needed.
How it Works
Here is how treatment usually runs for a patient travelling from Riverview.
Assessment first
You come to Crows Nest for a consultation first. We examine the tooth, take any scans needed, then explain your options and fees before anything starts.
Treatment visits
Most teeth are finished in one or two visits under local anaesthetic. The majority of people find it no worse than a filling. IV sedation is available on request.
Back to your dentist
Once the canals are sealed, you return to your Riverview or Lane Cove dentist. They place the crown or filling that protects the tooth long term.
Who looks after Riverview patients
Dr Omar Ikram trained in Otago, London and Edinburgh, and holds BDS, FRACDS, MClinDent, MRD, FICD and FPFA. Dr Ikram co-invented the EndoPrep app. Dr Jasmine Holgate brings BDent, DClinDent and FICD qualifications. Both are registered specialist endodontists, each with three extra years of postgraduate training.
- A clinic purpose-built for endodontics in Crows Nest

Questions from Riverview patients
Straight answers on pain, specialists, sport injuries, travel and costs before your first visit.
Where can I get a painless root canal near Riverview?
At Specialist Endo in Crows Nest, 8 to 12 minutes away via River Road. Our specialists use local anaesthetic, and most people find treatment no more uncomfortable than a filling. For strong anxiety, IV sedation is offered in the day surgery facilities across the hall.
Should a Riverview family see a root canal specialist or stay with their own dentist?
Your dentist can manage many straightforward root canals. A specialist is worth seeing for curved or calcified canals, a failed earlier root filling, a suspected crack or a tooth that keeps aching. You can book with us directly, and we keep your dentist informed.
My son chipped a front tooth at rugby. Does he need an endodontist?
Possibly, and sooner is better. A small chip may only need a filling. A tooth that becomes tender, loosens or changes colour after a knock may have a damaged pulp. Phone (02) 9129 0009 and we will advise whether he should be seen straight away.
How long is the drive from Riverview to Specialist Endo?
About 8 to 12 minutes outside peak. Take Tambourine Bay Road and River Road West, then River Road and Greenwich Road to the Pacific Highway. Hume Street is just off the highway, and the council car park there offers two hours free.
Will I know what it costs before you start?
Yes. After the consultation and any scans, you get a written treatment plan with the fee for each stage. If more than one option exists, we explain the cost and trade-offs of each. Nothing proceeds until you agree.
