Combining Modern Technology with Compassionate Care 

At MK Periodontics & Implant Dentistry P.C. in Nutley, NJ, we offer expert solutions in a relaxed environment. Dr. Mark Khaimov and his office staff excel at helping those in need of gum disease treatment and other periodontal care.

About Our Practice

At MK Periodontics & Implant Dentistry P.C., our mission is to deliver high-quality care in a relaxed atmosphere while showing respect and compassion for everyone in need of dental implants or other periodontal treatment. Located in Nutley, NJ and Florham Park, we cater to all surrounding areas and cities in the greater Essex County, New Jersey area. This includes Newark, Jersey City, Hoboken, and all boroughs of New York City. We want as many people as possible to have access to a periodontist they can trust in order to overcome periodontal disease and other issues.

In simple terms, the difference between a dentist and a periodontist is that a dentist is primarily concerned with the teeth, gums, and soft tissues of the mouth. A periodontist is focused on the gums, the jaw, and other tissues that support your teeth. If your dentist identifies a complex need, we are here to help you.

Piezosurgery®, implants, and laser therapy are just some of the state-of-the-art techniques used by Dr. Mark Khaimov for treating tooth loss and periodontal disease. People suffering from early symptoms of gum disease, advanced periodontitis, gum recession, and related issues can count on MK Periodontics & Implant Dentistry P.C. in Nutley and Florham Park for safe dental treatment and effective periodontal care.

Our Mission & Promise to Patients

“From dental implants and cosmetics to gum disease, our mission is to rejuvenate our patients’ smiles making sure that they return to the quality of life that they deserve.” Dr. Mark Khaimov

It was 8 months ago that I first walked into the offices of MKP&I and am glad I did. Today, I was there to have my first implants put in and while I walked in a bit apprehensive and nervous, I walked out a very satisfied and happy person. And once again, a lot of that credit goes to the outstanding staff that Dr. K. has working for him. I have one awesome periodontist and staff and am so thankful for them every time I walk into the office. You’re all #1 in my book!

From the second I walked in I knew I had made the right choice. Reception was very polite and followed COVID-19 guidelines by checking my temp. I was called quickly, Evie was so nice. Dr. Khaimov came in, asked some questions, even diagnosed an issue I had with my tongue that NO ONE had ever caught before. The LANAP treatment he suggested is brilliant. I can't wait to get started. Coming here was the best decision I've made all 2020!

Featured Procedures

LANAP Laser Gum Therapy

LANAP is a modern method of treating periodontal disease using lasers. The laser precisely targets diseased soft tissue and kills harmful bacteria without affecting the healthy tissue of the gumline. LANAP laser gum therapy means less pain and much faster recovery times.

Explore LANAP

Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation

In the past, gum grafting surgery was one of the few options to treat recession caused by periodontal disease. Pinhole gum rejuvenation is a less invasive method of restoring the gumline. Instead of using scalpels, sutures, and donor tissue, the pinhole technique repositions the gum tissue in the treatment area.

Explore Gum Rejuvenation

Dental Implants

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically embedded into the jawbone. When in place, the implants can support restorations to replace an entire tooth or several teeth, restoring the ability to bite, chew, speak, and smile. These custom implant restorations are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.

All-on-4

All-on-4® is a solution that can support a full-arch denture with just four implants. The primary advantage is that many who would otherwise need a bone graft can often immediately undergo this procedure without preparatory surgery.

Explore All-on-4-Dental Implants

TeethXpress

TeethXpress® is a type of same-day implant solution in which Dr. Mark Khaimov can place your implants and attach a temporary restoration during the same office visit. This allows you to have a full set of teeth immediately, without having to wait for the implants to completely fuse to the bone tissue.

Explore TeethXpress

Gum Grafting

In cases of advanced gum disease, it may become necessary to graft healthy tissue into places that have experienced serious gum recession. Dr. Khaimov can use gentle techniques to restore your gum tissue, setting the stage for restored periodontal health and controlled periodontitis.

Explore Gum Grafting

Bone Grafting

People who are missing teeth for a long period of time will eventually experience the loss of bone density along the jaw. Bone grafting replaces lost tissue in the jawbone. The process restores the ability of the jaw to support a dental implant, reducing the risk of complications and implant failure.

Dr. K is knowledgeable, gentle, and top of the line in his area of expertise. He made me feel comfortable during the gum procedure and constantly checked in to make sure I was OK the whole time. Evie made me feel at ease and was gentle when handling my gums. Antonette was helpful when explaining the insurance information.

FAQ

When should I see a periodontist?

Periodontists are specialized dentists who focus on treating the gums and other supporting tissues of the teeth. You should visit our Nutley periodontal practice if you are noticing signs of gum disease or if you have missing teeth. Many patients visit us after being referred by their general dentists, but referrals are not required.

What are the signs of periodontal disease?

Common signs of periodontal disease include swollen gums, discolored gums, or gums that bleed when you brush or floss. Other signs include chronic bad breath or loose teeth. If you suspect you have gum disease, you should consult with a periodontist like Dr. Khaimov as soon as possible.

What does "board-certified" mean?

Dr. Khaimov is a certified Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology. According to the ABP, "A Diplomate is a periodontist who has made significant achievements beyond the mandatory educational requirements of the specialty." To become board-certified, Dr. Khaimov had to pass a series of difficult exams. To maintain his status, he must stay updated on the latest developments in the field so he can pass his recertification test every six years.

Do you accept insurance?
