Dr. Artur Mukhlikhanov
Dentist in Wall Township
Dr. Artur’s path to dentistry started long before dental school. Growing up in Russia, he watched his father — an oral surgeon — transform patients’ smiles and, with them, their confidence. Seeing firsthand how a single appointment could change the way someone carried themselves left a lasting impression. By the time he was old enough to choose a career, the decision had already been made: he wanted to be part of a team that genuinely helps people, the same way his father had.
He earned his first dental license in Russia and spent several years building clinical experience there before pursuing the next step in his training. Dr. Artur was accepted into the Internationally Educated Dental Program at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, one of the most rigorous pathways for foreign-trained dentists to practice in the United States. The program demanded that he adapt to new standards, new protocols, and a different clinical environment — a challenge he credits with sharpening his skills and making him a stronger clinician overall.
Before committing to dentistry, Dr. Artur had seriously considered a career in IT. That technical side of him never went away — it just found a new outlet. Today, he’s especially drawn to the digital tools that have reshaped modern dental care. He uses intraoral scanners, digital photography, and treatment planning software to map out cases before a single procedure begins. For patients, that means a clearer picture of what’s possible. He can show them a preview of their new smile on a screen before any treatment starts, so they understand exactly what to expect and feel confident in the plan.
This combination — the clinical rigor of two dental education systems and a genuine enthusiasm for digital dentistry — is what patients notice first. Dr. Artur approaches every visit with the kind of attention to detail that comes from his father’s example, paired with the precision that today’s technology makes possible. Whether it’s a routine checkup, a cosmetic concern, or a more involved restorative case, his goal is the same: give patients a result they’re proud of, and make the process as straightforward as possible along the way.
Dr. Artur sees patients of all ages for general dentistry at Oliverie Dental, including preventive care, cosmetic treatment, restorations, and full smile planning. He takes time during each appointment to walk patients through their options, answer questions, and make sure they leave with a clear understanding of their oral health.
