Dental fillings are a common and essential treatment designed to restore the function, integrity, and morphology of tooth structure that has been compromised by decay or trauma. At Hudson Dental Edge in Englewood Cliffs, we specialize in providing high-quality dental fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Our skilled team, led by Dr. Kitty Thomas, uses the latest materials and techniques to ensure that your fillings are durable, aesthetically pleasing, and comfortable. Whether you're dealing with cavities or minor tooth fractures, our personalized approach ensures that you receive the best care tailored to your specific needs.
Dental fillings can be a crucial treatment for maintaining your oral health and preventing further complications. When a tooth is damaged by decay, it creates a cavity that can harbor bacteria, leading to infections or more severe tooth damage if left untreated. Dental fillings seal these cavities, preventing the progression of decay and restoring the tooth's functionality. Additionally, modern fillings can be color-matched to your teeth, ensuring a natural appearance. By choosing dental fillings, you're investing in your overall health, as untreated cavities can lead to more serious issues, including tooth loss and gum disease.
Dr. Thomas is passionate about helping her patients to feel confident and happy with their smiles. She knows that many people don’t like visiting the dentist, which is why she works hard to provide excellent, compassionate care and positive experiences for each of her patients.

Dental fillings help preserve the natural structure of your tooth by filling in the areas affected by decay. This prevents further damage and maintains the tooth's integrity, allowing it to function normally without the need for more invasive procedures.
By sealing off cavities, dental fillings act as a barrier against bacteria and plaque. This prevents further decay and protects the surrounding teeth and gums from potential infection, contributing to a healthier mouth overall.
Modern dental fillings are crafted from materials such as composite resins that can be closely matched to the color of your natural teeth. This ensures that your smile remains bright and uniform, boosting your confidence and overall appearance.
The first step in the dental fillings process involves a thorough examination of your teeth by Dr. Kitty Thomas. During this consultation, we assess the extent of decay or damage and discuss your treatment options. We'll also take X-rays to get a detailed view of the affected area, ensuring that we have all the information needed to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific dental needs.
Once the treatment plan is established, the next step is to remove the decayed portion of the tooth. This is done using specialized dental instruments to carefully and precisely eliminate the damaged areas. The goal is to remove all decay while preserving as much of the natural tooth structure as possible. This step is crucial in preparing the tooth for the filling and ensuring a successful outcome.
After the decay is removed, the cavity is thoroughly cleaned to remove any debris or bacteria. The filling material, typically a composite resin, is then applied in layers. Each layer is hardened using a special light, ensuring a strong and durable bond. The filling is then shaped and polished to match the natural contours of your tooth, providing a smooth and comfortable finish that blends seamlessly with your smile.
