Symptoms worth acting on in Chatswood West
Tooth pain is easy to put off. Waiting rarely makes it simpler, and a small crack can spread until the tooth cannot be saved. See a specialist sooner if you notice:
- Cold sensitivity lingering after the drink
- A dull ache that wakes you
- Sharp pain biting on something hard
- A gum pimple that comes and goes
- An old root filling now tender
An early look by a specialist endodontist on the Lower North Shore keeps more options open.

Root canal treatment for Chatswood West patients
The practice is limited to endodontics: the pulp inside the tooth and the tissues around the root. Your Chatswood West dentist still handles fillings, crowns and check-ups.
- Root canal therapy for an inflamed or dead pulp
- Retreatment of a failed root canal, including missed canals
- Cracked tooth care, from diagnosis to stabilising
- Root end surgery when root-tip infection persists
Why magnification matters for a difficult tooth
Molar canals can be narrower than a hair, and some curve, split or calcify with age. Dr Ikram and Dr Holgate treat every tooth through a dental operating microscope. Where a flat radiograph leaves doubt, a CBCT scan maps the root in 3D. Ultrasonic irrigation cleans spaces a file cannot reach. If nerves are a barrier, IV sedation is given in the day surgery across the hall.
How it Works
Three steps from your first phone call to a restored tooth.
Assessment in Crows Nest
We examine the tooth, test the pulp and take radiographs, adding a CBCT scan if the anatomy is unclear. You hear the diagnosis and every option before anything starts.
Cleaning the canals
Under local anaesthetic, the canals are located and cleaned through the microscope, then sealed. Most teeth take one or two visits. IV sedation can be arranged if you ask when booking.
Crown with your dentist
A root-filled tooth needs protection. We send your Chatswood West dentist a report and images, and they place the crown or filling. A later radiograph checks the bone has healed.
The specialists who treat Chatswood West patients
Dr Jasmine Holgate holds a BDent, a DClinDent and FICD. Dr Omar Ikram holds a BDS from Otago, an MClinDent from London and the MRD from Edinburgh. Dr Ikram’s fellowships include FRACDS, FICD and FPFA, and co-invented the EndoPrep app.
Each holds specialist registration and works in a clinic built for endodontics. Both use dental operating microscopes, and 3D CBCT imaging is on site. Chatswood West patients who are very anxious can ask about IV sedation.

Questions from Chatswood West patients
Answers for drivers and bus users coming from Chatswood West.
Where is the nearest endodontist to Chatswood West?
Specialist Endo in Crows Nest is a 10 to 15 minute drive away, off the Pacific Highway. Both Dr Omar Ikram and Dr Jasmine Holgate hold specialist registration in endodontics. Call (02) 9129 0009 to book, with or without a referral.
Do I need a specialist, or can my dentist do the root canal?
Plenty of simple root canals are fine with your own dentist. Narrow or blocked canals are better handled by a specialist. So is a failed root canal, or pain nobody can pin to one tooth. Endodontists train for three extra years and treat these cases daily.
Where do I park when I drive from Chatswood West?
Use the Hume Street council car park, a short walk from the clinic, where the first two hours are free. Follow Fullers Road or Mowbray Road to the Pacific Highway, head south, then turn into Hume Street in Crows Nest.
Can I get from Chatswood West to the clinic by public transport?
Yes. Buses along Mowbray Road run to Chatswood Interchange. From there the Sydney Metro goes one stop to Crows Nest, and the clinic is about two minutes on foot. It avoids Pacific Highway traffic in peak.
How do you tell whether my tooth is cracked?
We combine your symptoms, cusp-by-cusp bite tests and a microscope examination, plus a CBCT scan if needed. Pain when you release a bite is a classic sign. Once we know the crack's depth, we can say whether a root canal and crown will save it.
