How Greenwich patients reach the clinic
Greenwich lies in the Lane Cove Council area, just south-west of St Leonards. Drive up Greenwich Road to the Pacific Highway, then continue a short way to Hume Street.
- Car: roughly 4 to 6 minutes when traffic is light.
- Walk: 15 to 20 minutes from northern Greenwich, past St Leonards station.
- Ferry: Greenwich Point wharf serves the city, not Crows Nest.
- Parking: use the free 2-hour council car park on Hume Street.
When Greenwich dentists suggest a specialist
Most Greenwich patients arrive with a referral from their local dentist, who wants a root canal specialist to look at:
- A previous root canal still causing trouble
- Hot or cold pain that lingers
- A tooth sore on one cusp
- Infection showing on an X-ray
- A suspected crack in a molar
Every case starts with diagnosis. That is how we work as endodontic specialists on the Lower North Shore.
Why Choose Us
Greenwich patients have four good reasons to make the short trip to Crows Nest.
Short drive
Greenwich Road to the Pacific Highway and Hume Street takes about 4 to 6 minutes.
Diagnosis first
Every case starts with examination, pulp testing and imaging, so treatment is planned, not guessed.
Microscope retreatment
Root canals that did not settle are reassessed and retreated with magnification and CBCT guidance.
Sedation available
IV sedation is offered for very anxious patients through the day surgery across the hall.

Root canal treatment and retreatment for Greenwich
The clinic treats only endodontic conditions, with the aim of saving natural teeth wherever possible. The main referrals from Greenwich are:
- Locating missed canals and retreatment
- Root canal therapy for pulp infection
- Cracked tooth management and stabilising
- IV sedation for very anxious patients
Crowns and permanent fillings are then placed by your general dentist in Greenwich or Lane Cove.
Why the microscope and scan change the diagnosis
The dental operating microscope shows canal openings and cracks that cannot be seen by eye. 3D CBCT imaging reveals infection and root shape in three dimensions.
For a failed root canal, the scan may show an untreated extra canal or a crack down the root. Each finding leads to a different plan. Patients who cannot face treatment awake can be sedated in the day surgery across the hall.
How it Works
Three stages, from the first appointment to a restored tooth.
Diagnosis visit
The endodontist tests the tooth, reviews your dentist's X-rays and takes new images, including a CBCT scan where needed. You leave with a diagnosis and a clear set of treatment options.
Treatment appointments
The root canal or retreatment is done under local anaesthetic and the microscope, usually over one or two visits. The canals may be medicated in between. Sedation can be arranged.
Back to your dentist
A report with images goes to your Greenwich dentist, who places the final crown or filling. You may be recalled for a review X-ray to confirm the bone has healed.
Who treats you when you come from Greenwich
Dr Omar Ikram‘s fellowships are FRACDS, FICD and FPFA. Dr Ikram’s degrees are a BDS from Otago, an MClinDent from London and an MRD from Edinburgh. Dr Ikram also co-invented the EndoPrep app. Dr Ikram’s colleague Dr Jasmine Holgate is FICD, with a BDent and a DClinDent.
Both are registered specialist endodontists. They practise in a modern, purpose-built clinic with operating microscopes and CBCT imaging. Sedation cases use the day surgery facilities across the hall.
For dentists in Greenwich and Lane Cove
Greenwich and Lane Cove dentists can send cases via the online referral form. Attach recent periapical and bitewing radiographs, note the tooth number and symptoms, and mention any earlier endodontic work. The crown or definitive restoration remains yours to place, and a report with post-operative images follows.
Greenwich FAQ
Answers on travel, finding the right dentist, retreatment, scans and sedation.
Can I catch the ferry from Greenwich Point to the clinic?
No. Greenwich Point wharf ferries head to the city, away from Crows Nest. Drive via Greenwich Road and the Pacific Highway in about 4 to 6 minutes. From northern Greenwich, walking takes 15 to 20. Pacific Highway buses also stop near Hume Street.
Is there a specialist for root canal treatment near Greenwich?
Yes. Specialist Endo is an endodontic practice on Hume Street, Crows Nest, a short drive from Greenwich. It is not a general dental clinic. You keep your Greenwich dentist for check-ups, and they place the final crown after we finish.
Why does my dentist want a specialist to redo my root canal?
Because retreatment is harder than the first treatment. Old filling material must come out, missed canals must be found and cracks ruled out. A specialist does this under a microscope with a 3D scan for guidance, rather than working by eye.
Will I get a 3D scan at my first visit?
If it is needed, yes. CBCT imaging is on site. A cone beam scan can be taken during the consultation when a normal X-ray is not enough. Not every tooth needs one, and the decision follows the examination.
What if I am terrified of dental treatment?
Tell reception when you book. IV sedation is offered for anxious and phobic patients through the day surgery across the hall. You are sedated while the endodontist works, then go home with an escort. It can be a way forward if you have put off treatment.
