Serving Newark Patients from Westfield

Downtown Dental is a destination cosmetic and implant practice in Westfield, NJ, and we welcome patients from Newark and across the region. Many Newark residents choose to travel a short distance for prosthodontic-level implant and cosmetic care rather than settle for a general practice closer to home. Our Westfield office focuses on full-mouth implants, veneers, and smile design under one roof.

Why Newark Patients Choose Downtown Dental

Dr. Paul Zhivago is a Fellow of the American College of Prosthodontists and an Implant Alumnus of Columbia University, with focused training in restoring and replacing teeth. Newark patients benefit from that prosthodontic expertise, digital dentistry planning, and a practice built around implant and cosmetic work rather than treating it as a sideline.

What sets the practice apart for out-of-town patients:

  • Prosthodontic training focused on implants, veneers, and full-mouth restoration

  • Fellow of the American College of Prosthodontists (FACP)

  • Implant Alumnus of Columbia University

  • Digital dentistry for precise planning and comfortable, predictable results

  • Sedation dentistry available for longer or more complex visits
