Gentle Dental of NJ brings comprehensive dental care within easy reach of Downtown Newark. Our Ironbound office at 290 Ferry Street is just a 5-minute drive or short bus ride from Penn Station, Military Park, and the Broad Street corridor, making it convenient for commuters and Downtown residents to access a full team of dental specialists without leaving Newark. Whether you need dental implants, braces or Invisalign, a root canal, periodontal treatment, or a routine cleaning, our five in-house specialists handle everything under one roof – no outside referrals needed. Led by Dr. Eugene Bernstein with more than 25 years of experience, our team includes a board-certified orthodontist, an endodontist, a periodontist, and two general dentists.

Our Specialties
Dental Specialties We Offer
Our in-house team of specialists means you never need an outside referral.
01
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. Our team uses 3D CT imaging to plan precise implant placement, and our on-site periodontist, Dr. Mark Pakan, handles the surgical placement while our general dentists complete the restoration. You get the entire implant process in one office - from the initial scan to the final crown - without referrals to outside surgeons.
02
Orthodontics - Braces & Invisalign
Our board-certified orthodontist, Dr. Ilya Lipkin, provides braces and Invisalign for teens and adults right here in our Newark office. Dr. Lipkin has over 25 years of experience and serves as a Clinical Professor, bringing academic-level expertise to every case. Whether you choose traditional braces or clear aligners, your treatment is planned and monitored by a specialist - not a general dentist offering aligners on the side.
03
Root Canal Therapy
Root canals do not have to be painful. Our endodontist, Dr. Mariya Rozenblum, graduated in the top 10% of her Columbia University class and has over 20 years of specialized experience. She uses advanced techniques and magnification to save teeth that might otherwise need extraction. Having a dedicated endodontist on staff means faster treatment and better outcomes.
Cosmetic
Cosmetic Specialties We Offer
Our in-house team of specialists means you never need an outside referral.
01
Crowns & Laminates
Dental crowns restore strength and appearance to damaged or decayed teeth, while laminates (veneers) transform the look of chipped, stained, or uneven teeth. Our dentists use high-quality materials matched to your natural tooth color for seamless, long-lasting results.
02
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening at our office delivers results that over-the-counter products cannot match. We use safe, effective whitening systems that can brighten your smile by several shades in a single visit. Walk out of our Ironbound office with a noticeably whiter, more confident smile.
03
Periodontics
Gum disease affects millions of adults and can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Our periodontist, Dr. Mark Pakan, provides scaling and root planing, gum surgery, and bone grafting to restore gum health and preserve your natural teeth. Having a periodontist in-house means faster diagnosis and treatment.

The Gentle Dental Difference
Why Downtown Newark Patients Choose Gentle Dental

Extended Hours for Downtown Commuters
We are open Monday through Friday until 9pm and Saturdays until 3pm. Downtown Newark professionals can schedule after work without taking time off. Our Ferry Street office is a short ride from Penn Station, making it easy to fit dental care into your commute.
Multilingual Team for Newark's Communities
Our staff speaks English, Spanish, and Portuguese fluently. Newark's Ironbound and Downtown neighborhoods are home to diverse communities, and we believe language should never be a barrier to quality dental care. Every patient is heard and understood.
