Dental fillings are a common dental treatment that helps restore teeth damaged by decay or cavities. This procedure involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling the space with a durable material, such as composite resin. At our practice, we’re proud to offer high-quality dental fillings to patients in Florham Park and the surrounding areas.

Tooth decay is one of the most common oral diseases, affecting millions of people worldwide.
The Dental Fillings Treatment Process
Examination and Diagnosis
During your initial visit, Dr. Imran Uddin will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and gums. This examination includes taking X-rays. These X-rays provide detailed images, enabling Dr. Uddin to accurately determine the extent of the decay and plan the appropriate treatment. This meticulous evaluation ensures that his approach aligns with your specific dental needs, leading to a tailored and effective treatment plan.
Removal of Decay
Once the examination reveals the extent of the decay, Dr. Uddin will gently remove the affected part of your tooth. Using specialized dental tools, he skillfully eliminates the decayed tissue. This meticulous process is essential to guarantee that every bit of damaged material is gone, leaving your tooth thoroughly cleaned and ready for the filling. By taking care and precision in this step, Dr. Uddin ensures a solid foundation for the filling, promoting the longevity of the restoration.
Filling Placement
After the decay is removed and the tooth is cleaned, Dr. Uddin will carefully place the dental filling material. Choosing a filling material that matches your natural tooth color, he meticulously shapes and polishes it. This attention to detail is what makes the filling not only functionally effective but also aesthetically seamless. Dr. Uddin ensures that the filling fits snugly, aligning perfectly with your surrounding teeth. The material bonds securely with the tooth, providing durability and strength.
The Benefits of Dental Fillings
Restored Tooth Structure
Dental fillings help restore the strength and integrity of your teeth by replacing the decayed portion. This ensures that your tooth can withstand normal biting and chewing forces without further damage.
Improved Aesthetics
Our dental fillings are tooth-colored and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. This means that your smile will remain beautiful and natural-looking, without any noticeable signs of dental work.
Prevention of Further Decay
By removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling it, dental fillings prevent the spread of decay. This helps protect the surrounding teeth from damage and reduces the risk of more extensive dental procedures in the future.
