A specialist endodontic partner for South West Sydney — efficient referrals, electronic reports on the day of the appointment, and your patient returned to you for the definitive restoration.
"We welcome open communication and collaboration — please feel free to call us at any time or visit the practice to discuss cases, treatment planning, or complex endodontic scenarios."
Every patient you refer to Southwest Endodontic Centre is treated as an extension of your practice. We see the referrer–specialist relationship as a collaborative one — never competitive. Our role is the endodontic phase of care; the long-term restorative relationship remains with you. The patient is returned to you for the definitive crown, onlay, or filling as soon as endodontic treatment is complete.
We keep communication open at every stage. You will hear from us when the referral is received, on the day of the appointment (the consultation report), and again at completion. If at any point you want to talk a case through — before referring, during treatment, or afterwards — call (02) 9129 8806 directly and ask for the treating endodontist. We work alongside you, not instead of you.
Practical, consistent, and designed to make specialist endodontic referrals easier on you and your patient.
For referred patients in acute pain. Call (02) 9129 8806 directly — we will do our best to see your patient the same day.
Detailed reports with operating microscope photographs sent electronically to your practice on the day of the appointment. No waiting, no chasing.
Call us before, during or after referral to discuss cases, treatment planning or complex scenarios. We are always available to talk through a case.
Available at both Liverpool and Wollongong. CBCT findings are included in consultation reports with annotated images.
All findings and treatment options explained to your patient before treatment begins. No surprises — for you or your patient.
We complete the endodontic treatment. Your patient returns to you for the definitive restoration. We do not provide restorative or general dental treatment.
Submit referrals online with X-ray upload, full FDI tooth chart, urgency selection and clinical notes. Fast and paperless.
Referral forms, trauma guidelines, case difficulty assessment tools — all available on our Dentist Resources page.
The clinical equipment that underpins predictable specialist endodontics — used on every case at our Liverpool practice.
Up to 25× magnification used on every procedure. Essential for locating additional canals, identifying cracks, and orthograde retreatment through existing restorations.

High-resolution digital periapical and bitewing imaging integrated into the consultation workflow, with images attached to every electronic report.
Laser-assisted endodontics. The Fotona SkyPulse Er:YAG laser (SWEEPS technology) is available at our Wollongong practice, Wollongong Endodontics. Patients requiring laser-assisted treatment can be seen at Wollongong — please note this preference on your referral form.
Both routine and complex — we are equipped for the cases general practice cannot easily accommodate.
Our Dentist Resources page includes the IADT 2020 trauma guidelines and specialist endodontic resources for referring dentists.
We also accept referrals at our Wollongong Endodontics practice, the only specialist endodontic clinic in the Illawarra region. Wollongong Endodontics offers all services available at Liverpool plus the Fotona SkyPulse Er:YAG laser (SWEEPS technology).
Same-day appointments are available for urgent cases where clinically indicated. Call (02) 9129 8806 directly for emergency referrals — please do not use the online form for same-day requests. We reserve time in our daily schedule specifically for referred patients in pain.
Upload radiographs directly via the online referral form (up to 5 files — JPG, PNG and PDF accepted). Alternatively, email them to info@swendo.com.au with the patient name in the subject line, or send them with your patient. We can also retake imaging in-house if the existing films are not diagnostic.
Patient name, date of birth, contact details, reason for referral, tooth number(s), urgency, and your contact details. Clinical notes and radiographs are helpful but not always essential for booking — we can often arrange an appointment and request records separately.
Reports are sent electronically to the email address provided on your referral, typically on the day of your patient's appointment. Reports include clinical findings, diagnosis, treatment plan and operating microscope photographs where relevant.
Absolutely — we encourage it. Call (02) 9129 8806 at any time to discuss a case informally. A brief phone conversation often helps clarify whether referral is needed and what to include.
Yes. Use the online referral form and select your preferred location — Liverpool, Wollongong, or either. Our team will confirm the appointment location when contacting your patient.
