Root canal treatment, apical surgery, CBCT 3D imaging and dental trauma management — delivered by specialist endodontists at our Liverpool and Wollongong practices.
Southwest Endodontic Centre serves South West Sydney from our Liverpool rooms and the Illawarra from our dedicated Wollongong practice — the only specialist endodontic clinic in Wollongong.
Specialist endodontists complete three or more years of full-time postgraduate training beyond dental school, focused exclusively on diagnosing and treating diseases of the dental pulp. Specialist registration is regulated by AHPRA — the title is protected and cannot be used by general dentists.
Each of our clinicians has completed a full-time Doctor of Clinical Dentistry or Master of Dental Science in Endodontics — a research-intensive three-year specialist qualification. All three are AHPRA registered specialist endodontists.
Every case is treated under a dental operating microscope with digital radiography and in-house CBCT 3D imaging when indicated.
Published evidence consistently shows higher success and survival rates when endodontic treatment is performed by specialists, particularly for complex cases, retreatments and surgical cases. Your patient returns with a same-day report.
Operating-microscope precision on every case, in-house CBCT 3D imaging when clinically indicated, and modern bioceramic materials — delivered by specialist endodontists across South West Sydney and the Illawarra.
Three-dimensional cone beam imaging reveals complex canal anatomy, vertical root fractures, resorption and periapical pathology that 2D X-rays cannot show. A fraction of the radiation dose of medical CT.
Every case is treated under a surgical-grade dental operating microscope with co-axial illumination — up to 25× magnification, with integrated digital photography for your patient records.
Up to 90% less radiation than film, with instant high-resolution images shared electronically with your referring dentist on the same day as treatment.
Modern bioceramic sealers and obturation materials bond chemically to dentine, providing a durable long-term seal against reinfection.
Delivered with operating microscope magnification on every case, CBCT 3D imaging when clinically indicated, and same-day reporting to referring dentists.
Microscope-guided primary root canal treatment for anteriors, premolars and molars. Every case completed under magnification with digital photographic records sent to the referring dentist.

Answers to the questions we hear most from patients and referring dentists.
Root canal treatment has an unfair reputation. Modern specialist endodontic treatment — performed under local anaesthesia with the operating microscope — is typically no more uncomfortable than having a filling placed. Most patients report feeling pressure or vibration rather than pain. For patients with significant dental anxiety, both oral and IV sedation are available.
Most straightforward root canal treatments are completed in one or two appointments of 60–90 minutes. Complex cases — significantly infected teeth, calcified canals, or retreatments — may require additional appointments. A clear treatment plan and written quote is provided before starting any treatment.
For most molars and premolars, yes — once the nerve has been removed the tooth is more brittle and a crown protects it from fracture. Anterior teeth without large existing restorations may not require a crown. Your general dentist will place the final restoration, and we will make a specific recommendation in our report.
Specialist endodontic treatment for patients referred from dentists across South West Sydney. Referrals also welcomed from our Wollongong Endodontics practice for Illawarra patients.
