The Toothache Ends Here.
A root canal removes the infected nerve that’s causing your pain and saves your natural tooth. Most patients say it feels like getting a filling. Your exam and X-ray confirm whether it’s the right treatment before anything starts.

● Quick Answer ●
What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal (also called endodontic treatment) removes the infected or inflamed nerve tissue, the pulp, from inside a tooth, then cleans, disinfects and seals the root canals so the natural tooth can stay in place. It treats the cause of a toothache rather than masking it. At Smile Services of New York in Manhasset, NY, a typical visit takes 60 to 90 minutes under local anesthetic, and most patients return to work the same day.

● Why It Hurts ●
Why a Toothache Needs a Root Canal: The Infected Pulp Is What Hurts.
Inside every tooth is a soft core of nerve and blood vessels called the pulp. When decay or a crack lets bacteria reach it, the pulp becomes inflamed and infected. That’s the throbbing, the sensitivity, the pain that won’t quit.
A root canal removes the infected pulp, disinfects the canals, and seals the tooth. The pain goes with it, and the tooth stays.
● Don't Wait ●
The Longer It Waits, the Worse It Gets.
An infected nerve doesn’t heal on its own. Left alone, the infection can spread to the bone at the root tip and cause swelling, an abscess, or the loss of the tooth. Painkillers buy a few hours. They don’t fix what’s underneath.
Keeping your natural tooth is almost always the better long-term option, and the sooner it’s treated, the simpler it is.
Root canal
Removes the infection, keeps your natural tooth. One tooth, one plan, usually a crown after.
Extraction
Removes the tooth and the infection, but leaves a gap that usually needs an implant or bridge later.

They are all friendly easy to talk too definitely will come back if anything happen again.
Brought my son in for an emergency on a weekend. Beautiful staff , amazing doctor Arzanipour. Minimal wait time, clean facility would highly recommend.
Had a dental emergency while on a work trip And they were able to accommodate everything that I needed. I really appreciate everything they do there.
I have nothing but great things to say about my experience today. It was very important to me that the dr and staff be understanding of my level of anxiety coming in. I am very scared of the dentist due to prior experiences elsewhere. Dr. Daniel Arzanipour was amazing! Gentle, attentive and let me know each step of the way what was going on. Amazing bedside manner!
His assistant Joseline was also very welcoming and helped me feel comfortable from beginning to end.
Thank you so much to everyone today, as you have all made my fears fade away while sitting here. A million thanks!
Wow! Who ever thought that getting a dental procedure could and would be so...PLEASANT? So effortless? So gentle? So transparent with their pricing? Smile Services was all of these things. I couldn’t be happier with the experience.

● Root Canal FAQ ●
Root Canal Questions, Answered.
Does a root canal hurt?
No more than a filling for most patients. The pain you feel now is the infection. With local anesthetic you feel pressure, not pain, and the procedure removes the source of the toothache.
How long does a root canal take?
Most root canals at Smile Services of New York in Manhasset are completed in a single visit. The number of visits depends on the tooth and is confirmed at your exam.
How do I know if I need a root canal or just a filling?
A filling treats decay that has not reached the nerve. A root canal is needed when the pulp inside the tooth is infected or inflamed: lingering pain after hot or cold, pain when biting, swelling or a bump on the gum, a tooth that has darkened, or pain that wakes you at night. Only an exam and X-ray can confirm which one you need.
Is a root canal a dental emergency?
It can be. Swelling, a throbbing toothache that keeps you up at night, or a bump on the gum are signs of an active infection and should be evaluated the same day. We offer same-day evaluations for tooth pain 7 days a week in Manhasset.
Will I need a crown after a root canal?
Usually, yes. A crown protects the treated tooth long-term and is placed at a follow-up visit. Your dentist confirms what is recommended for your tooth.
Wouldn’t pulling the tooth be easier?
Keeping your natural tooth is almost always the better long-term option. An extraction leaves a gap that usually needs an implant or bridge later, which costs more time and money than saving the tooth.
How much does a root canal cost in Manhasset?
Cost depends on which tooth is treated and whether a crown is needed. You get your price before treatment starts, payment is made at the visit. Financing options are available.
Will antibiotics cure an infected tooth without a root canal?
No. Antibiotics can calm swelling for a short time, but they cannot reach and remove the infected pulp inside the tooth. The infection returns until the source is treated with a root canal or an extraction.
