- Park: 2 hours free in the Hume Street council car park.

Dentist or specialist? A Cremorne Point self-check
Your regular dentist handles check-ups and most fillings. A root canal specialist is worth seeing if you answer yes to any of these:
- Does cold pain last after you swallow?
- Does it ache on its own at night?
- Is there a small lump on the gum?
- Has a knocked front tooth changed colour?
Endodontists train for three extra years after dentistry. That training is behind our specialist root canal care on the Lower North Shore.

Root canal treatment for Cremorne Point teeth
Once the diagnosis is clear, we recommend the least invasive way to save a Cremorne Point tooth, often root canal treatment. Your own dentist then places the final crown or filling.
- Internal bleaching for a front tooth darkened after injury
- Root canal retreatment where earlier treatment has failed
- IV sedation for phobic patients or longer appointments
- Trauma care for knocked or loosened teeth
Diagnosis first: microscope, CBCT and pulp testing
Much of what a specialist adds happens before any drilling. We combine pulp testing, examination under the microscope and imaging to reach a diagnosis, rather than guessing from symptoms.
CBCT imaging is available in the clinic. After trauma it can reveal a root fracture that a flat X-ray hides. Day surgery facilities across the hall allow treatment under IV sedation.
How it Works
Three steps, with your Cremorne Point dentist involved at the end.
Testing and diagnosis
Your first visit covers pulp testing, a microscope examination and any imaging needed, including CBCT where a fracture is suspected. We explain the findings and options before you decide.
Treatment at Hume Street
A root canal, retreatment or bleaching is done under local anaesthetic, and most patients find it comparable to a filling. One or two visits are typical, with sedation planned ahead if needed.
Home to your dentist
When we finish, your dentist receives a report and images and places the permanent restoration. We remain available to both of you if a review is needed later.

Cremorne Point: your questions answered
Answers for residents of the Point on travel, sedation, trauma and follow-up.
How far is the nearest root canal specialist from Cremorne Point?
About 3.8 km by road. Specialist Endo is at 34 Hume Street, Crows Nest, 6 to 9 minutes by car via Military Road and Falcon Street. The Hume Street council car park near the clinic is free for 2 hours.
Is Specialist Endo a dentist I can see for check-ups?
No. We are a specialist endodontic practice, so we see teeth that need root canal care, retreatment or surgery. Keep seeing your regular dentist for check-ups and cleans. They can refer you, or you can book with us directly.
Can I take the ferry from Cremorne Point to Specialist Endo?
No. Cremorne Point wharf ferries go to Circular Quay, the opposite direction from Crows Nest. Drive via Military Road and Falcon Street. Without a car, bus to North Sydney and ride the Metro one stop from Victoria Cross.
I have a phobia of dental treatment. What can you do?
We can treat you under IV sedation, made possible by the day surgery facilities across the hall. Mention your anxiety when you book so the appointment is set up for sedation. You will need someone to take you home afterwards.
A front tooth went grey after a knock. What does that mean?
It usually means the pulp inside has died after the injury. The tooth may need a root canal, and internal bleaching can often lighten it afterwards. We test the tooth and use CBCT imaging to check for a root fracture first.
