Bankstown residents and general dentists referring for specialist endodontic care — Southwest Endodontic Centre in Liverpool is approximately 15 minutes via the Hume Highway. We provide root canal treatment, retreatment, apical surgery and dental trauma management under operating microscope and CBCT 3D imaging on every case, with same-week emergency access for Bankstown patients in acute pain.
Bankstown sits at the heart of Sydney's inner south-west — a large residential and commercial catchment centred on Bankstown Central shopping precinct, Bankstown Hospital and the Bankstown Arts Centre. The area supports a dense mix of general dental practices serving a diverse multigenerational community, from long-established residents to the growing university student population attached to the Western Sydney University Bankstown campus. When a Bankstown patient needs specialist endodontic care, Liverpool is the nearest dedicated specialist referral destination to the west.
Southwest Endodontic Centre is a referral-focused specialist endodontic practice. We treat referrals and self-referrals from general dentists and patients across Bankstown, Yagoona, Condell Park, Punchbowl, Greenacre, Chester Hill, Sefton, Padstow and Revesby. Every consultation is seen by a specialist endodontist — not a generalist — and every treatment visit uses the operating microscope as standard.
Our practice is at Shop 1/420 Macquarie Street, Liverpool NSW 2170 — central Liverpool, walking distance from Liverpool Hospital and Liverpool railway station.
Every Bankstown patient is assessed and treated with the same clinical toolkit:
Operating microscope magnification is used on every procedure — not as an optional extra. For Bankstown patients open to a longer drive, laser-assisted root canal treatment using the Fotona SkyPulse is available at our sister practice, Wollongong Endodontics →.
A specialist endodontist in Australia has completed a Doctorate of Clinical Dentistry in Endodontics — typically three years of full-time postgraduate university training on top of a general dental degree, plus ongoing AHPRA specialist registration requirements. Clinical studies consistently report success rates of around 90–95% for root canal treatment performed under appropriate specialist conditions, with operating microscope magnification and CBCT imaging making a measurable difference on complex cases.
Bankstown patients choosing Southwest Endodontic Centre receive care from a combined team of three specialist endodontists — Dr Deepak Chellappa, Dr Jimmy Chan and Dr Sara Namjou — with consistent use of the operating microscope and CBCT imaging on every case, plus same-week emergency access for patients in acute pain.
