Fairfield residents and dentists looking for a specialist endodontist — Southwest Endodontic Centre is approximately 10 minutes south-east via the Cumberland Highway to our Liverpool practice. We provide root canal treatment, retreatment, apical surgery and dental trauma care under operating microscope and CBCT 3D imaging on every case, with same-week emergency access for Fairfield patients in acute pain.
Fairfield is one of Sydney's most culturally diverse local government areas — a densely populated residential and commercial centre built around Ware Street, the Fairfield Showground, Fairfield Hospital and an extensive mix of small-to-medium general dental practices serving the community. When a patient in Fairfield needs specialist endodontic care — for complex root canal treatment, retreatment of a previously treated tooth, suspected cracked tooth or apical surgery — Liverpool is the closest dedicated specialist referral destination.
Southwest Endodontic Centre receives referrals from general dentists across Fairfield, Fairfield West, Fairfield East, Canley Vale, Canley Heights, Smithfield and Wetherill Park, alongside self-referrals from patients in acute pain. Our clinicians work exclusively in endodontics — every case is seen by a specialist, 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 Fairfield patient is assessed and treated with the same clinical toolkit:
Operating microscope magnification is used on every procedure — not as an optional extra. For Fairfield 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.
Fairfield 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.
