The Importance of Timely Intervention

Addressing cavities early can be the difference between a simple filling and more extensive dental work

Cavities can start as minor nuisances but left unchecked, they can grow, compromising the tooth's structure and potentially leading to more severe dental issues. Early detection and intervention are pivotal. At Hillside Dental Care, we emphasize regular check-ups to identify cavities in their nascent stages. By doing so, we can protect your teeth from further damage, ensuring they remain strong and healthy for years to come.

Restoration with Aesthetics in Mind

Our fillings aren't just about treating decay; they're about restoring your tooth's look and function harmoniously

To many, the word 'filling' might bring to mind a visible metallic patchwork on a tooth. But modern dentistry has evolved. We use materials that mimic the translucency and shade of your natural teeth, ensuring that the fillings are virtually undetectable. Our goal is to restore not just the health, but also the natural appearance of your teeth, ensuring you can smile, talk, and eat with absolute confidence.

Two Decades, Unwavering Trust

My wife and I have been with Hillside Dental for nearly 20 years. From dental cleaning to root canals and almost all dental needs. Dr. Rosenberg and his staff are highly skilled, knowledgeable and very focused on their patients. We are moving to California soon but I would be tempted to come back for our dental needs.

Exceptional Emergency Care

I had a really bad tooth emergency over this past weekend. Since it was a Sunday, the office was closed. I texted the Dr.'s emergency line, and he came into the office with an assistant ready to go and relieve my pain. I can't tell you enough what a relief it was to get this taken care of. I'll always recommend Dr. Rosenberg and his staff.

Gentle and Caring Treatment

This is the best dental experience I have had in my LIFE. I had a lot of dental work done as a little boy, including a headgear, extractions, fillings, and braces. As a result, I am traumatized.
