When a Cremorne root canal has not settled
Some Cremorne patients already have a root canal in the tooth that hurts, and want a root canal specialist to look again. Typical reasons:
- An old root-filled tooth now tender to bite
- A new swelling on the gum
- A canal missed during the first treatment
- Leakage past a cracked filling or late crown
First-time cases, such as cold sensitivity or a cracked cusp, also come to our specialist endodontist team on the Lower North Shore.

Root canal treatment and retreatment for Cremorne
The right treatment depends on what has already been done to the tooth and what the imaging shows.
- Root canal retreatment to find missed canals and reseal
- Apicoectomy when retreatment through the crown is not possible
- First-time root canal treatment for an untreated Cremorne tooth
- IV sedation for longer cases or anxious patients
Your own dentist then places or replaces the crown.
What specialist equipment adds to a second attempt
Retreatment means removing old filling material without damaging the root, then finding why the tooth failed. Under a dental operating microscope, a missed canal entrance becomes visible.
A flat X-ray can show a shadow at the root tip without revealing which root is involved. A CBCT scan answers that before we begin, so the plan rests on evidence. For longer cases, IV sedation is available in the day surgery across the hall.
How it Works
For Cremorne patients, care runs in three steps and ends with your dentist.
Find the cause
We examine the tooth and review the history of any previous root canal. You then hear whether retreatment, surgery or another option gives the tooth its best chance.
Retreat or operate
Non-surgical retreatment is done under local anaesthetic and the microscope, often over two visits with medication between them. Apicoectomy is a surgical procedure, and IV sedation can be arranged.
Restore with your dentist
After the tooth has healed, we send your Cremorne dentist a report with images. They place or replace the crown that keeps the tooth sealed against bacteria.
The specialists Cremorne patients see
Dr Omar Ikram graduated BDS from Otago, then gained the FRACDS, an MClinDent in London and the MRD in Edinburgh. Dr Ikram holds the FICD and FPFA, and co-invented the EndoPrep app. Dr Jasmine Holgate‘s qualifications are BDent, DClinDent and FICD.
They work from a purpose-built Crows Nest clinic with dental operating microscopes, CBCT imaging, rotary instrumentation and ultrasonic cleaning systems. Because day surgery facilities are across the hall, IV sedation is available for anxious patients.

Frequently asked questions from Cremorne
Failed root canals, travel and comfort, answered for Cremorne.
Where can I have a root canal done near Cremorne?
Specialist Endo in Crows Nest, on Level 3 at 34 Hume Street. The clinic is about 3 km from Cremorne, or 5 to 8 minutes by car via Ben Boyd Road and Falcon Street. You can book directly, without a referral from your dentist.
How do I get from Cremorne to Specialist Endo without a car?
Take a bus along Falcon Street towards Crows Nest. Or catch a Military Road bus to North Sydney. From Victoria Cross, the Metro takes you one stop to Crows Nest, then walk about 2 minutes. Both options avoid parking.
Can you do a root canal on a tooth that already has a crown?
Usually, yes. We can often treat through a small opening in the crown, then seal it so the crown stays. If the crown is old or leaking, your dentist may replace it afterwards. We tell you which applies once we have examined the tooth.
Why did my root canal fail, and can it be fixed?
Usually it can be fixed. Common causes are a missed canal or one not cleaned to full length. Bacteria can also leak back past a broken filling or delayed crown. Most failed root canals can be retreated, and some need a small surgery at the root tip.
Will retreatment hurt more than my first root canal did?
It should not. Retreatment is done under local anaesthetic, and most patients say it feels much like having a filling. If you are very anxious, IV sedation can be arranged in advance through the day surgery across the hall.
