Convenient Access from Englewood
Busy professionals who need a dentist in Englewood, NJ often find that River Edge Dental fits the week better than expected. Our office in River Edge is roughly 10 minutes west of downtown by car, and evening hours until 7 PM make room for appointments after the commute home. Under one roof, the practice covers cosmetic, restorative and family dentistry, plus sleep and jaw care.
Starting from the public library at 31 Engle Street, follow Engle Street to Park Place and North Dean Street, then turn west on Palisade Avenue. Palisade Avenue continues as Knickerbocker Road; from there, take Liberty Road and South Washington Avenue to New Bridge Road. Head west on New Bridge Road, which briefly becomes Roemer Avenue, and finish via Main Street and Kinderkamack Road at 130 Kinderkamack Rd #303, River Edge, NJ 07661.
Plan on about 4.7 miles, all on county and local roads with no tolls and no need for Route 4 or Interstate 95. Rush hour on Palisade Avenue is the main thing that can add time. The office sits between Main Street and Grand Avenue, close to New Bridge Landing station. Our Google Maps page shows the office, photos and live directions.
Patients also reach us from Teaneck and Tenafly, two communities that share a border with the city.
Fitting Care into an Englewood Schedule
With 29,308 residents in the 2020 census, Englewood is a full-fledged city rather than a small borough. It was incorporated in 1899, and its downtown still centers on Engle Street, Palisade Avenue and the old Depot Square station building from the Erie Railroad's Northern Branch. Passenger trains stopped in 1966, but NJ Transit buses now carry riders to Manhattan on several local and express routes.
That commuter rhythm shapes how people book dental care. A cleaning squeezed into a lunch hour rarely works when the job is across the Hudson. Our evening hours until 7 PM give bus riders time to get home, grab the car and still be seen the same evening.
Geography helps here as well. Interstate 95 runs along the city's southern border, and Leonia and Fort Lee are among its neighbors. The drive west to River Edge stays on familiar county roads instead of the interstate. That makes a dental appointment feel more like a quick errand than another stretch of highway driving at the end of a long day.
Once you arrive, the pace slows down. Treatment rooms have windows and TVs, and the Comfort Menu offers Wi-Fi, wireless headphones, hot towels and a cup of coffee or tea. Blankets and an eye mask help patients who feel tense in the chair settle in.
Dental Concerns That Come with City Life
Long workdays and late nights take a toll on the mouth in ways people rarely connect. Jaw clenching from stress can wear down enamel, crack fillings and leave the jaw sore by morning. Dr. Martirossian has advanced LVI training in neuromuscular dentistry and TMJ care, and the office uses T-Scan bite analysis to measure how the teeth come together.
Snoring and restless sleep are another common thread. Custom oral appliances are one treatment option for sleep apnea, and the office offers at-home sleep testing to start the process. Oral-appliance therapy is generally covered by medical insurance, and our team files those claims.
Appearance matters too for people who present, sell or meet clients all day. Professional whitening, clear aligners and cosmetic restorations can update a smile without a long string of visits. We plan cosmetic changes conservatively so the result looks like you on a good day.
Local life offers plenty of ways to unwind, from the 3.6 miles of trails at the 150-acre Flat Rock Brook Nature Center to the rink and pool at MacKay Park. The Englewood Public Library is part of the Bergen County Cooperative Library System. Families with children in the city's public schools, from the early childhood center through Dwight Morrow High School, can schedule kids' checkups during the same evening block.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is River Edge Dental from Englewood, and how do I get there?
The trip from the Englewood Public Library is about 4.7 miles, usually around 10 minutes. You drive west on Palisade Avenue, then use Liberty Road and New Bridge Road to Kinderkamack Road. Commuters looking for a dentist in Englewood, NJ residents can reach on county roads will not need any highway or toll.
I take an express bus into Manhattan. Can I still get an evening appointment?
Yes. Because the practice offers evening hours until 7 PM, a rider who is back in Englewood by early evening still has time for a visit. Many working patients keep a standing end-of-day appointment every six months, so cleanings never collide with meetings, travel or deadlines.
Why might an Englewood patient need a cone beam CT scan?
A cone beam CT scan is recommended when the dentist needs a 3D view of the teeth, jawbone and nerves that standard x-rays cannot show. It is most useful for planning implants, checking bone levels and evaluating complex problems. The scan is suggested only when the extra detail will improve your treatment plan.
Can kids be seen after school sports?
Usually, yes. Evening hours until 7 PM leave time to finish practice, change and drive over for a checkup. Siblings can be booked back to back, so one trip covers the whole family. A quick rinse with water before leaving the field keeps the visit focused on the exam rather than on cleanup.
Does the practice treat jaw pain and teeth grinding?
Yes. Dr. Martirossian has advanced training in TMJ and neuromuscular dentistry from LVI, and the office uses T-Scan bite analysis to see how pressure spreads across the teeth. Depending on the exam, treatment may involve a custom appliance or restorations that rebuild worn teeth.
