My passion is orthodontics. I lovecreating a beautiful, healthy, perfect smile for each patient. For me, it is the combination of art and science,which allows me to craft the ideal smilebased on a persons unique clinical and lifestyle needs.
Todays technology allows for quicker treatment time, a more comfortable orthodontic process, and completely invisible treatment if that is what the patient desires. Along with modern technology, I use the very best materials and advanced techniques, ensuring the most incredible results.
Through my patients different interests and life experiences, Im always learning something new about the world or myself, and I find that to be fulfilling. Even better, though, are the friendships that develop. I get to know each patient on a personal level and we do become a family of friends. Its a joy to spend my days creating gorgeous smiles!
I received my Doctorate of Dental Medicine (DMD), and completed the Orthodontic Specialty Program at Boston University, under the legendary leadership of the late Dr. Anthony Gianelli. This provided me with an exceptional foundation in orthodontics.
In order to stay current with the constant developments in orthodontic technology, materials, and methodologies, I attend the annual American Association of Orthodontists meetings, monthly study clubs, and online webinars. This enables me to bring the latest advances to my patients. They rely on me to deliver the highest quality care and I am committed to doing that, consistently.
I have also been voted, by my peers, as New Jersey Monthly Magazines Top Orthodontist and Top Dentiston multiple occasions. Our wonderful patients have also voted our practice New Jersey Monthly Magazines Top Family Dentists.
Im originally from Maryland; Basking Ridge has been home since 2001. Away from work I spend as much time as possible with my wife and children. I also enjoy physical activities, including snow skiing, water skiing, and running. Additionally, Im an avid gardener and love playing the drums.
In general it's my job to make sure the office runs smoothly from day to day. I've worked in the orthodontic field for more than18 years, and love the feeling that comes from providing families with exceptional care and confidence from a beautiful smile. I love coming to work and partnering with such great people that work so well together - we are like family.
When I'm not in the office, Ilove to take walks and work out - but mostly I love to spend time with my husband, my two beautiful daughters, Chloe and Elle, and our three adorable dogs, Charlie and Eve, and Star.
I have been working in the dental field for the last 20 years but I really enjoy doing orthodontics and I hope to continue doing it for many more years to come! I love working with patients of all ages. It gives me great satisfaction to see how I am able to help someone gain confidence by creating a perfect smile. It is very rewarding to work together with the doctor and staff to deliver great service to all of our patients.

Incredible front desk reception, the whole staff is amazing and always so kind. Dr Menker is the best, it really shows that he loves his job. Everyone makes you feel so welcomed and they take the time to get to know you. I would recommend the SP location to everyone, they're awesome!!

Dr. Menker and his entire staff were amazing! From the initial consultation through removal of my daughter's braces, I couldn't ask for a better experience. I felt confident we were in very qualified hands: Dr. Menker came highly recommended by another highly skilled dentist, and I was impressed from our initial meeting. We always felt welcome in the office, we never had to wait to be seen (except one instance beyond their control - still worth 5 stars to me), they allowed us to visit their 2nd office when needed, and they were consistently great communicators. The technicians respected my daughter's autonomy and input while also keeping me in the loop as needed. The financing options were GREATLY appreciated! And of course, my daughter's smile is even more beautiful! I highly recommend Dr. Menker and his staff to all families considering orthodontic services!
