Dr. Malek has been practicing endodontics in San Jose since 1997 and has developed a state of the art endodontic facility including digital radiography, surgical microscope, Ni Ti rotary files and a caring and skilled staff. He utilizes MTA for surgical and non-surgical cases. He is the root canal specialist and by using very updated materials and techniques, he stays above standard of care.
Endodontic treatment is necessary when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected. The inflammation or infection can have a variety of causes: deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth or a crack or chip in the tooth. In addition, a blow to a tooth may cause pulp damage even if the tooth has no visible chip or cracks.
No one wants to hear the words, "You need a root canal". But keep in mind that the root canal procedure is a far better fate than a lost tooth. With today's advanced root canal technology, the treatment is easier to endure than ever before. At our San Jose Endodontic office, Dr. Karim Malek is dedicated to providing excellent care while maintaining high levels of personal service.
Missing teeth are perhaps the most obvious and challenging obstacle to a beautiful smile. If you have one or more missing teeth, San Jose Endodontist Dr. Malek can show you how dental implants can solve your problem permanently. For tooth replacement, there simply is no solution that is more durable or more lifelike than a custom-designed dental implant.
When both the tooth and root are damaged, the best permanent replacement is a dental implant in conjunction with a ceramic crown. This solution both looks and functions just like a natural tooth. In this case, a so-called one-piece or single dental implant is used. This means that all components are installed as a single unit, resulting in immediately full functioning teeth, shorter treatment time and minimized pain.

Dr. Karim Malek is one of the best doctors, regardless of what they practice, that I have had the pleasure of dealing with. He makes you feel very comfortable as he talks you through what he is doing. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly also!
I would rate my visits at 11...if the stars went that high! :)
Yes, I would recommend anyone to Dr. Malek that need his type of expertise.

I met with Dr. Tran for a root canal and I have to say that Dr. Tran and Taryn were absolutely amazing.
I felt so comfortable and informed it was really a great experience.
also for a root canal I never had any pain during the procedure.
I am so glad I found them! They made me feel like a long time friend.
Awesome folks, highly recommend them as very professional and friendly as well!

I was referred to Dr Malek office for a root canal. My Experience from beginning was warm and welcoming. They knew my co-pay and had my records all on hand. Dr Tran was incredibly awesome! I had a minor issue with the Epinephrine and cause for some concern, but Dr Tran and staff knew exactly what to do and stayed "CALM, COOL AND COLLECTIVE"! Followed up throughout the rest of day too! Major props to Dr Malek for attaining the importance of that Personal touch of how patients need to be cared for!
That personal touch, reminds of small town business practices. Thanks Dr Tran and staff!

I was recommended to Dr Karim by Dr Priya Bakshi for a root canal retreat.. I went to about 4 or 5 other dentists and all of them told be to get the tooth extracted. Dr Karim looked at it and said he can save the tooth, he performed the retreat and professionally got that done. I haven't had any pain or sensation since then. Him and his staff seemed extremely professional, the clinic was kept very clean.

Today was my very first root canal appointment with Dr.Malek. I kept procrastinating for a very long time due to my zero tolerance to pain. Finally today it happened (thanks to my daughter)
The office was super clean & bright. The staff was super awesome.
Dr.Malek was super duper awesome & gentle. I did not feel a thing. It was totally painless. He did such a great job that now I'm not scared of root canals anymore. Thanks to Dr.Malek
I still can't believe that I'm done with my root canal finally. Yaaaaaaay!!!
love you Dr.Malek

I went to Malek for root canal, i have always had anxiety for dentist. He made it easy for me, i didn't have much pain from his procedure, the whole experience isn't frightening to me like the other dentist. That's a big relief for me. The infection of my gum went away after a few days as well. His performance was excellent and experienced, strong recommendation for root canal!
