Why Patients Choose Malki Dental for Root Canal Therapy
Emergency Services
If you’re dealing with urgent pain because of a root canal infection, we offer emergency dental appointments during normal office hours as well as after-hours care. Don’t delay getting the endodontic care you need. Ask about scheduling a same-day visit.
Treatment in One Visit
Traditional root canals take two separate appointments. With our in-office CEREC® system, Dr. Stephen Malki completes the root canal and places a new custom crown in a single visit.
No Referral Needed
You do not need to see an outside endodontist for a root canal procedure. Our dentist in River Edge, NJ, performs root canal therapy in-house and handles any follow-up restorative work, keeping every step of your care in one convenient location.
Paying for Root
Canal Treatment
Insurance will typically cover root canal treatment, at least in part. We accept most insurance plans.
For those without insurance or patients who need assistance paying for a root canal, our practice in New Jersey accepts flexible financing through CareCredit® to help keep out-of-pocket expenses manageable.
What Is Root Canal Therapy?
When cavities or cracks in your tooth allow bacteria to enter the pulp chamber, the pulp itself becomes infected. Infected pulp can result in an abscessed tooth and other health issues. Root canal therapy is a dental procedure in which Dr. Malki removes infected pulp from the tooth.
A Look at the Endodontic Procedure
A root canal removes the diseased pulp, fully eradicating decay and infection in the process. This procedure preserves your tooth, eliminating the need for a tooth extraction.
What to Expect During a Root Canal
“Everyone is professional, kind, and attentive. They made sure I was comfortable the entire time and explained every step of the process, which really put me at ease. If you’re nervous about going to the dentist, this is the place to go!” — Nicole, 5-Star Review
Streamlined Treatment With CEREC Technology
Previously, root canals were performed over the course of two separate appointments. Now, our dentist can complete all the necessary steps in our office in a single day thanks to CEREC technology.
CEREC is an in-office unit that designs and mills custom dental restorations out of top-of-the-line ceramic. The whole process takes approximately one hour. CEREC saves our patients time and money and also avoids the hassle of wearing temporary crowns.
FAQ About Root Canal in River Edge, NJ
When is root canal therapy necessary?
Root canal therapy is recommended once bacteria reach the pulp chamber of a fractured or decayed tooth. At this point, people may begin to experience significant pain and other symptoms. Endodontic therapy can alleviate your symptoms and save your tooth from extraction.
Shouldn't I see an endodontist?
You don’t have to visit an endodontist to get the treatment you need. A skilled dentist with proper training can effectively remove diseased dental pulp from a tooth and clear any remaining bacteria from the pulp chamber. Dr. Malki has the resources and expertise to perform root canal therapy for patients throughout Bergen County, NJ.

No, a root canal will not hurt. Because we use advanced technologies and techniques at our Bergen County, NJ, practice, our dentist can ensure a virtually painless procedure. Our team is equipped to provide you with the appropriate levels of anesthesia and pain medicine to ensure you are entirely comfortable both during and after your root canal procedure.
