About Malo Smile USA
An on-site dental laboratory is not a common thing to find behind a general practice, and at Malo Smile USA in Elizabeth it explains a good deal about how the place operates. Dentures get relined, bridges get their shade corrected and full-arch cases get adjusted without the work travelling out to an outside technician and back, so an alteration that would otherwise cost a week can frequently be turned round inside a single visit. It also means the dentist and the technician can argue over a difficult case face to face instead of through written instructions. The practice is led by Dr. Shankar Iyer, a prosthodontist who is a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology and a past president of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. Prosthodontics is the discipline concerned with rebuilding and replacing teeth, which is most of what arrives at 815 Salem Avenue: bridgework that failed after two decades of good service, partials that have stopped fitting, arches patched so often that patching once more has stopped making sense. Exams, root canals, whitening and veneers are handled here too.
All-on-4 is the treatment the office is best known for, and it helps to know how it actually runs. Four implants are angled into the denser bone toward the front of the jaw, which often lets a surgeon avoid grafting the thinner bone further back. A 3D scan maps nerve position and bone volume first. On surgery day, any remaining hopeless teeth come out, the implants go in, and a fixed provisional bridge is secured to them the same afternoon, so you leave with teeth instead of facing months without them. That provisional stays in place while bone fuses to the implant surfaces, usually a matter of several months, and only then is the definitive bridge made. The honest caveat is that not every jaw qualifies. Severe bone loss, uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking can change the plan entirely, and a preliminary graft adds time and cost.
Soft tissue lasers are used in gum treatment, and sedation is available for the longer surgical appointments, which matters when an arch is being cleared and rebuilt in one sitting. Salem Avenue puts the office on the Elmora side of the city, west of downtown and straightforward to reach by car. Saturday clinics run to early afternoon and weekdays start at half past nine. Before committing anywhere, ask for the plan in writing with the stages priced separately, because a full-arch estimate that leaves out the extractions, the provisional bridge or a possible graft is not comparable to one that includes them.
Malo Smile USA works mainly with adults facing failing teeth, ill-fitting dentures or full-arch replacement. Led by prosthodontist Dr. Shankar Iyer, the Salem Avenue office handles All-on-4 and single implants, same-day dentures, full mouth reconstruction, veneers and root canals. An in-house laboratory turns denture relines and shade corrections around quickly, 3D imaging guides surgical planning, soft tissue lasers support gum treatment, and sedation is available for longer appointments. Saturday clinics run to early afternoon.

Congratulations to the Malo Smile USA team! Every time we visit, they provide excellent service, from the reception staff to the outstanding consultations with Dr. Nilima and her assistant Diana, who also provides very good translation. ✅✅✅
Dr Chitra and Diana are the best. Good dentist. Is was like majick I was very happy 👌🙏
⭐️⭐️ I’m very disappointed with my experience at this dental office. My regular dentist referred me here because they specialize in cosmetic dentistry. I went for my first consultation, and the doctor performed a cleaning and discussed the treatment I would potentially need. I was then told that the office would process everything through my insurance and determine how much I would have to pay out of pocket. Unfortunately, I have been trying to get an update for almost two months. Every time I call the number listed on their website, I’m told that they will send a message to the department responsible and that someone will call me back. I never receive a call. This past Wednesday, I called again and was told the exact same thing — that a message would be left for someone at the office to contact me. As of today, I still have not received a response. I understand that insurance verification can take some time, but two months without a follow-up is unacceptable, especially when I have repeatedly called and left messages. I was interested in moving forward with my treatment, but the lack of communication and follow-up has been extremely frustrating. I hope the office improves its communication with patients and follows up when they say they will.
i have nothing but wonderful things to say about this practice .. i trust them all completely .. kind knowledgeable, professional and responsive ..I live in NYC and yet i choose to travel here ..the hygienist is wonderful and Janet Alvarez the office manager and i think special assistant to Dr Iyer is always so helpful with everything!
I like to first commend the staff on always being on time, ready and prepared for appointments. The staff, doctors and all those that assist are very professional. When I leave the office, doctor Shaw, always make sure that I'm happy with her work and I'm leaving with a SMILE.
Amazing experience. From the moment I walked in everyone was welcoming and pleasant. I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed and was quite nervous. Dr. Iyer and his staff were attentive, professional, and answered all my questions and put my mind at ease. So far, I have not felt any pain, swelling, or bruising.
Absolutely amazing experience at Malo Smile USA every time! Dr. Shankar and Dr. Preeti Iyer are incredibly caring, accommodating, and professional. Scheduling appointments is always easy, and the staff is welcoming, knowledgeable, and wonderful to interact with — many have been there for years, which truly reflects the positive environment they create. Highly recommend for anyone looking for exceptional dental care with a personal touch!
I recently returned after some time away, and from the moment I walked in, I was welcomed like family. The team genuinely cared, asked where I had been, and made me feel right at home again. The experience was just as exceptional as I remembered professional, friendly, and truly attentive. My cleaning and evaluation were handled with great care, and I left feeling confident about continuing my treatment. I’m looking forward to coming back and continuing the process. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dental office that combines expertise with a personal touch.
This office was fantastic! From the receptionist, Jasmine to my patient coordinator, Diana, to Dr. Sarvotam. The team was amazing. They took great care of me. I felt comfortable. My x-rays were done with ease and my cleaning was painless. Thank you for superior customer care. I’d give 10 stars if possible.
Barbra did a great job cleaning my teeth!! And enough can’t be said about Dr. Preeti and Dr. Iyer, they both re constructed my entire mouth and brought back my smile. Something I never thought I would ever be able to actually make happen, they made a reality and was super accommodating the entire process. In 34 years I’ve always avoided the dentist and is why I was in the position I was in. Now I look forward to my appointments!!! Def recommend to anyone who needs any type of dental work done small or big!! Janet was also the best and made scheduling everything a breeze and was always available anytime I had any questions. Thank you so much I’ll forever be grateful to all of you Matt LoCasto
