Leading Dental Technology in River Edge
Our vast array of advanced technologies is one of many factors that set our River Edge dental office apart from other practices in the area. These tools allow us to deliver faster, more accurate diagnoses and treatment with greater comfort and confidence. Dr. Malki’s ongoing commitment to professional development ensures we’re always equipped with the most up-to-date techniques and equipment, so you receive truly modern care at every visit.
Our intraoral camera allows us to comfortably capture clear, high-resolution images of your teeth and gums during your exam. These images are instantly displayed on a monitor, helping you see exactly what your dentist sees. It’s a powerful tool for patient education — making it easier to understand your diagnosis and feel confident about your treatment decisions.
Cone beam 3D imaging goes far beyond traditional X-rays. In just 14 seconds, this technology generates 200 detailed images that reveal not only your teeth and gums, but also the nerves, bone structure, and soft tissue below the surface. This precision is essential for planning dental implants, extractions, root canals, and other complex procedures with maximum safety and accuracy.
CEREC technology revolutionizes the way we restore damaged teeth. Using computer-aided design and milling, we can craft a beautiful, long-lasting crown or inlay in a single appointment — no temporary restorations or follow-up visits required. This system ensures a perfect custom fit while saving you time and avoiding the discomfort of traditional impressions.
The Velscope® is a handheld device that enhances our ability to detect oral cancer in its earliest stages. Using a safe blue-spectrum light, it highlights changes in soft tissue that may not be visible to the naked eye. This quick, painless screening can be performed during a routine checkup, adding an extra layer of protection to your preventive care.

Featured Dental Services Offered at Our River Edge Practice
Comprehensive Dental Care for Patients Throughout Bergen County
General Dentistry
Our dentist strives to provide our community with the finest care available. Whatever your dental needs, our team of compassionate professionals can help you enjoy the benefits of a healthy smile. There is a direct link between your oral health and your overall health. Consequently, regular visits to our Bergen County dentist can help support your well-being.
Our team understands how busy your schedule is, which is why we provide prompt service that starts at your appointment time. This allows you to minimize the time you spend in the dentist's chair so you can get back to taking care of business. Our comprehensive dental office also allows you to receive all of the care you need under one roof. Dr. Malki can identify issues early so that you can take care of them before they turn into more expensive dental problems.
Family Dentistry
Our dental health needs change throughout our lives. Kids, adults, and seniors all need unique care that caters to unique challenges that occur due to development, lifestyle, medications, and other factors. Dr. Malki understands these needs and is equipped to meet the needs of your entire family under one roof.
Another important advantage of having a single dentist who can treat your entire family is that many oral health conditions have genetic factors. By treating every member of your family at one practice, Dr. Malki can gain a deeper understanding of your loved ones' health needs in order to help everyone–from the youngest to the most senior members of the family–achieve and maintain impeccable oral health.
Cosmetic Dentistry
It only takes one unattractive feature to tarnish an otherwise beautiful smile. Whether that means a stained or cracked tooth or a number of crooked teeth, the good news is that cosmetic dentistry can help. Patients that visit our Bergen County dental practice can take advantage of a number of cosmetic dentistry treatment options. Our dentist can design a custom treatment plan to help you reach your goals.
To address problems that may leave your smile looking unbalanced or unhealthy, our dentist can provide cosmetic treatments such as professional teeth whitening and veneers. For those with crooked teeth, Malki Dental offers the discreet and comfortable Invisalign® clear aligner system. Compared to traditional metal braces, Invisalign is nearly undetectable and doesn't impose any diet or dental hygiene restrictions. Cosmetic dentistry offers flexible treatment options to help you achieve a beautiful smile.
Restorative Dentistry
If the health and function of your smile is causing you discomfort, restorative dentistry can provide you with relief. Damaged and missing teeth can lead to painful symptoms that can make everyday tasks a chore. Restorative dentistry can rebuild your smile by treating unhealthy teeth and gums. Our dentist office provides New Jersey with state-of-the-art restorative dentistry procedures.
Restorative procedures such as root canal therapy can save a natural tooth, preventing the need for extraction. If a tooth cannot be saved, dental implants can help fill the gap and stop the jawbone loss that accompanies a missing tooth. If you suffer from widespread tooth loss, All-on-4 dental implants can provide a stable, lifelike arch of teeth. Whatever your dental needs, Malki Dental has you covered.
