Travelling from Huntleys Cove to the clinic
Huntleys Cove sits beside Tarban Creek near the Gladesville Bridge, 9 km from our rooms. Join Victoria Road briefly, then turn onto Burns Bay Road through Lane Cove. Centennial Avenue and Epping Road lead to the Pacific Highway. Budget 12 to 18 minutes off peak, more when Victoria Road is busy.
The ferry from Huntleys Point wharf heads to the city, not the North Shore. Driving is simplest, with two free hours at the Hume Street council car park.
A tooth your dentist wants a second opinion on
The real question is often simple: can this tooth be kept? A root canal specialist uses CBCT and the microscope to give a considered answer.
- Infection after a previous root canal
- A tooth darkened by an old knock
- Biting pain your dentist cannot locate
- A gum boil that keeps returning
Sometimes the tooth should go, and we say so clearly, as we do for every patient seeking specialist endodontics on the Lower North Shore.

Root canal treatment and more for Huntleys Cove
For many Huntleys Cove patients, root canal treatment is the starting point. Every step is explained before it begins.
- Root canal therapy to clear out an infected pulp
- Retreatment of an old root canal that has broken down
- Apicoectomy to remove and seal an infected root tip
- Treatment for cracked teeth, from stabilisation to root canal
How specialist tools change the answer
Standard X-rays flatten a three-dimensional tooth. Overlapping roots can hide infection or extra canals. CBCT gives a slice-by-slice view, so the plan matches what is really there.
- Microscope magnification reveals cracks as visible lines
- Broken instruments from earlier treatment can be located
- Rotary and ultrasonic systems clean hard-to-reach canals
- Across the hall, day surgery facilities support IV sedation
How it Works
From Huntleys Cove to a treated tooth in three steps.
First appointment
Bring your X-rays and referral if you have them. We test the tooth and scan where it will change the decision. You leave with an itemised plan.
Specialist treatment
Most root canals and retreatments take one or two visits under local anaesthetic. Surgical cases may need a separate appointment. Anxious patients can choose sedation in the day surgery across the hall.
Finishing with your dentist
We place a temporary or core filling and send your dentist a report. They then fit the crown or final restoration that protects the tooth long term.
Why Huntleys Cove patients trust Specialist Endo
Dr Omar Ikram, a specialist endodontist, lists BDS (Otago), FRACDS, MClinDent (London), MRD (Edinburgh), FICD and FPFA among Dr Ikram’s qualifications. Dr Ikram also co-invented the EndoPrep app. Working with Dr Ikram is Dr Jasmine Holgate, a specialist endodontist with BDent, DClinDent and FICD.
Both trained three extra years beyond their dental degrees to register as specialists. Their Crows Nest clinic was built for this work. The practice also teaches other dentists through its Apex Conference Centre.

Huntleys Cove patients want to know
Ferries, second opinions, sedation and dark front teeth, answered for Huntleys Cove.
Where can I see an endodontist near Huntleys Cove?
At Specialist Endo Sydney, 34 Hume Street, Crows Nest. The drive takes 12 to 18 minutes off peak via Victoria Road, Burns Bay Road and Epping Road. Both endodontists here are registered specialists, and you can book without a referral.
Can I take the ferry from Huntleys Point wharf to Crows Nest?
Not directly. The ferry runs to Circular Quay, not the North Shore. From the city you could take the Metro to Crows Nest station, two minutes from the clinic. Driving via Burns Bay Road and Epping Road is usually quicker.
My dentist says the tooth should come out. Is a second opinion worthwhile?
Usually, yes, especially for a previously root-filled or cracked tooth. A CBCT scan and microscope examination show whether retreatment or root end surgery could save it. If we agree with your dentist, we will say so plainly.
After IV sedation, can I drive myself home to Huntleys Cove?
No. You must not drive for the rest of the day after IV sedation. A responsible adult needs to take you home and stay with you. Please arrange this before booking. It is given in the day surgery facilities across the hall from our rooms.
A front tooth went dark after a knock years ago. Can it be fixed?
Often, yes. A tooth that darkens after trauma usually has a dead pulp that needs a root canal, even without pain. Once the canal is filled, internal bleaching can lighten it from the inside to better match its neighbours.
