- Parking: the Hume Street council car park is free for 2 hours.
Save it or lose it: a specialist opinion
A dentist may have offered extraction and an implant as the simpler path. A root canal specialist can tell you whether the tooth is worth saving. Signs worth checking:
- Hot or cold pain that keeps going
- A dull ache that throbs at night
- A sharp catch biting on one cusp
- A tooth that went grey after a knock
Kirribilli sits at the harbour end of our Lower North Shore endodontic service area.

Root canal treatment near Kirribilli
Our aim is to keep your natural tooth whenever that is a sound decision. If it is not, we will tell you plainly.
- Root canal treatment for Kirribilli patients with inflamed pulp
- Root canal retreatment, including curved or calcified canals
- Cracked tooth treatment, with the crack traced under magnification
- Apicoectomy for infection lingering at the root tip
Finding canals that others could not
A calcified canal has narrowed with age or injury until it is almost invisible on an X-ray. Finding it without perforating the root depends on magnification. Under a dental operating microscope, the colour change marking a canal entrance can be seen.
CBCT imaging shows the canal’s path in 3D before the tooth is opened. For anxious patients, day surgery facilities across the hall allow IV sedation.
How it Works
For Kirribilli patients, the process has three clear stages.
Assessment and honest advice
We examine the tooth under the microscope and take a CBCT scan if the anatomy is unclear. Then we tell you plainly whether it can be saved, and what that would cost.
Saving the tooth
A root canal, canal location or surgery is done under local anaesthetic. To most people it feels much like a filling. Most teeth need one or two visits in Crows Nest.
Crown by your dentist
Your dentist receives a report and images when the tooth is ready, then places the permanent crown or filling. If a review is needed later, we can see you again.

Kirribilli patients often ask
Straight answers on getting here, second opinions and crowned teeth.
How do I get to Specialist Endo from Kirribilli without a car?
Take the T1 from Milsons Point to St Leonards, four stops, then walk about 10 minutes along the Pacific Highway. Or walk about 15 minutes to Victoria Cross Metro in North Sydney and ride one stop to Crows Nest. The ferry does not help for this trip.
Do I need a root canal specialist, or can my dentist do it?
It depends on the tooth. Many dentists handle straightforward root canals well. A specialist is the better choice for calcified or curved canals, a failed earlier root canal, a crack, or a tooth you have been told to remove.
Is there a local endodontist close to Kirribilli?
Yes. Specialist Endo is about 3.4 km away at 34 Hume Street, Crows Nest, a 6 to 9 minute drive or a short T1 trip and walk. Dr Omar Ikram and Dr Jasmine Holgate are both registered specialist endodontists.
Can I get a second opinion before having a tooth extracted?
Yes. We examine the tooth under the microscope and take a CBCT scan if needed. Then we tell you frankly whether treatment, retreatment or surgery can save it. If extraction really is the better option, we will say so.
How quickly can a Kirribilli patient be seen?
Phone (02) 9129 0009 and tell us if you are in pain. Appointments are on weekdays, and we do our best to see patients with acute symptoms promptly. From Kirribilli, the drive is only about 6 to 9 minutes.
