We focus on keeping your teeth and gums healthy with regular check-ups, cleanings, and exams. Our Newark dentists educate you on oral hygiene and catch issues early to prevent bigger problems. From children getting their first dental visit to adults maintaining their smile, we provide gentle, thorough preventive care.

As a full-service dentist in Ironbound Newark, we offer orthodontic treatments for teens and adults. Straighten your teeth and correct your bite with traditional braces or clear aligner options. Our in-house orthodontist will guide you through a personalized treatment plan; no need for an outside referral. A straighter smile not only looks great but also improves oral health.
Missing teeth? Our team provides dental implant solutions to permanently restore your smile. Implants replace tooth roots with sturdy titanium posts, topped with lifelike crowns, giving you back function and aesthetics as if you had natural teeth. From one tooth to a whole arch, we’ll rebuild your smile with results that last.
If you’re suffering from a toothache or infection, our endodontist can relieve your pain and save your tooth with gentle root canal therapy. We use modern techniques to ensure root canals are quick and comfortable, often no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Don’t let tooth pain linger; our Newark endodontic specialist will get you relief fast.
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Our periodontist provides expert gum care, treating periodontal disease with deep cleanings (scaling and root planing), gum therapy, and advanced procedures to restore gum health. We also perform gum grafts and other treatments to address recession or damage. If you’ve noticed bleeding gums or gum recession, we can help protect your smile.

What Our Patient Says!
Frequently Asked Questions
What insurance plans do you accept, and do you offer payment plans?
We accept most major dental insurance plans. Our knowledgeable front desk team will help you maximize your benefits. For those without insurance, we offer flexible payment options and an in-house Gentle Dental Plan that provides discounted services for an affordable annual fee. We also accept major credit cards and can arrange payment plans for extensive treatments. So financial concerns never have to stand in the way of your oral health.
What can I expect on my first visit?
As a new patient, you’ll receive a thorough exam and a warm welcome from our team. On your first visit, we’ll review your dental history and any concerns, take any needed X-rays, and perform a comprehensive oral exam including an oral cancer screening and gum health evaluation. If time permits and you’re due, we often perform a cleaning on the first visit as well. Afterwards, the dentist will explain any findings, answer your questions, and together we’ll create a treatment plan to keep your smile healthy. We pride ourselves on patient education, so you will leave with a clear understanding of your oral health and next steps.
Do you offer appointments on weekends or evenings?
Yes, we know your schedule can be busy. Gentle Dental of NJ offers extended hours on select weekdays (open as late as 8:00 PM) and we are open on Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Our goal is to be available when it’s convenient for you. If you need an early morning or late evening time, just let us know. We will do our best to accommodate your schedule. And for any dental emergencies outside regular hours, our phone line will connect you to a dentist on call for guidance.
How do I know if I need a dental implant or a bridge for a missing tooth?
Choosing between a dental implant and a bridge depends on your specific situation. In general, a dental implant is often the preferred solution for a single missing tooth. It’s a permanent replacement that looks and functions like a natural tooth, and it doesn’t require altering any neighboring teeth. A dental bridge, on the other hand, might be recommended if the teeth adjacent to the gap need crowns or if you prefer not to undergo implant surgery. During your consultation, our team will examine your mouth and review your X-rays. We’ll explain the pros and cons of each option as they relate to your health, timeline, and budget. Rest assured, we’ll help you make the best choice to restore your smile.
