Dental Implants, Braces, Root Canals & Full-Service Dentistry with Five Specialists – 12 Minutes South of Belleville via Route 21
Dental implants replace missing teeth with permanent, natural-looking restorations. Our periodontist uses 3D CT scanning to plan surgical placement, and our general dentists complete the crown. The entire process – from imaging to final restoration – takes place at one office. Belleville patients avoid the referral runaround that most practices require for implant surgery.

01
Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth with permanent, natural-looking restorations. Our periodontist uses 3D CT scanning to plan surgical placement, and our general dentists complete the crown. The entire process - from imaging to final restoration - takes place at one office. Belleville patients avoid the referral runaround that most practices require for implant surgery.
02
Orthodontics - Braces & Invisalign
Our board-certified orthodontist, Dr. Ilya Lipkin, has over 25 years of experience straightening teeth for patients of all ages. He offers metal braces, ceramic braces, and Invisalign. As a Clinical Professor, Dr. Lipkin stays at the forefront of orthodontic techniques and technology. Your smile is in specialist hands.
03
Root Canal & Endodontics
A root canal performed by a specialist is faster and more comfortable than one done by a general dentist. Dr. Mariya Rozenblum, our Columbia-trained endodontist, focuses exclusively on saving infected and damaged teeth. Her precision techniques and advanced equipment mean less time in the chair and better long-term outcomes for Belleville patients.
COSMETIC & RESTORATIVE SERVICES
Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry

Dental crowns protect and strengthen damaged teeth. Laminates (veneers) cover imperfections on the front teeth - chips, gaps, staining, or unevenness. Our dentists use materials matched to your natural shade for a seamless, lasting result.
02
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening at our office delivers visible results in one appointment. Our clinical-grade systems safely brighten your smile beyond what any drugstore product can achieve. It is one of the quickest ways to refresh your appearance.
03
Periodontics & Gum Care
Gum disease is a silent threat to your oral health. Our periodontist, Dr. Mark Pakan, provides deep cleanings, gum surgery, bone grafting, and implant placement. Early detection and in-house specialty treatment protect your teeth and gums for the long term.
The Gentle Dental Difference
Why Belleville Patients Choose Gentle Dental
The Multi-Specialty Advantage
Belleville has many general dental practices. What they do not have is a single office with an orthodontist, endodontist, periodontist, and cosmetic dentist all working together. At Gentle Dental, your providers share records, coordinate treatment plans, and eliminate the delays that come from referrals.
12 Minutes on Route 21
Take Route 21 South from Belleville directly to Newark's Ironbound. Our office on Ferry Street is just off the highway. It is a shorter drive than reaching most dental specialists in Montclair, Clifton, or Passaic.
Family-Friendly with Extended Hours
We see patients from age 7 through seniors. Our extended hours (Mon-Fri until 9pm, Sat until 3pm) and multilingual staff (English, Spanish, Portuguese) make Gentle Dental accessible to everyone in the family.
