Nicholas G. Zeik, DDS, MS

Born and raised in New Jersey, Dr. Zeik discovered his passion for dentistry in the third grade and has dedicated his life to providing exceptional care for his patients, whom he treats like family. He pursued his dental education at NYU College of Dentistry, graduating with distinction in 2009, and completed a multidisciplinary residency at Monmouth Medical Center, where he gained extensive experience in general dentistry, endodontics, periodontics, and minor oral surgery.

Dr. Zeik’s academic journey also includes a B.A. in Biological Science from Rutgers University (2001) and an M.S. in Biotechnology/Bioinformatics from Kean University (2005). Bilingual in Spanish and English, he is committed to making quality dental care accessible to a diverse community.

Passionate about patient education, Dr. Zeik takes the time to inform and empower his patients about their oral health, ensuring they understand any issues they might have and the best ways to maintain a healthy smile. He is also known for making dentistry fun and approachable—he often jokes that the bacteria in your mouth are like Pac-Man, constantly chasing after food particles and causing damage. This love for oral health and classic arcade games is why both of his offices feature Pac-Man arcade machines, making dental visits a little more enjoyable for patients of all ages.

Beyond his practice, Dr. Zeik is deeply involved in philanthropy. He founded Zeik Dental Jam, an annual event that brings the community together to support local nonprofits, and he actively participated in global outreach programs, providing much-needed dental care to underserved communities in Honduras.

In his free time, Dr. Zeik enjoys staying active through sports, spending quality time with his family, and giving back to the community. His lifelong dedication to dentistry, education, and service reflects his belief that oral health is about more than just creating beautiful smiles—it’s about improving lives.
