Meet the Doctors

Dr. Deepak Agarwal

I was born and raised in Chicago. I graduated from Niles North High School in Skokie, IL in 1993. I then attended the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) Honors College. I graduated in 1997 with a Bachelors in Biology and Psychology. The following semester, I started dental school at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville School of Dental Medicine. I graduated in 2001 with my Doctorate in Dental Medicine.

Our office has been active in the community, volunteering at the Pacific Asian Community Center health fairs. We are currently involved in the Give Kids a Smile program, visiting three different schools for dental health month. I am also a member of the American Dental Association, Illinois State Dental Society, and the Chicago Dental Society.

My wife and I currently live in the Naperville area with our two sons. I love spending time with my family and of course, try to golf whenever I can. I believe everyone should be happy with their smile. We here at Todays Dental of Plainfield would like to create a beautiful smile for you and your family.

Thank you,

Deepak Agarwal, DMD

Dr. Rebecca Hudson

Dr. Hudson grew up in the south suburb of Chicago called Flossmoor, and as fate would have it, she became a dentist. She went to college downtown at DePaul University, where she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences and Mathematics. On the side, she worked at a local ice cream shop, where she helped cure the occasional sweet tooth!

Soon thereafter, she was accepted into Philadelphia’s Temple University four-year dental program, where she became “TempleMade” and earned her Doctorate of Dental Medicine degree. She spent her free time meandering through the charming streets of Philadelphia and finding cute little cafes and dog parks to sit and relax. As a running enthusiast and regular attendee of the “Bagel Run Club”, she eventually became the Wellness Chair of the American Student Dental Association of her school and held events, like outdoor yoga, hiking trips, a succulent planting workshop and skiing. 

Wellness is still a large part of Dr. Hudson’s life. She enjoys all things active and outdoors, as well as artsy things like painting and decorating. She loves collaborating and wants to help people live healthy, fulfilling lives. 

Dr. Hudson aims to treat her patients like family and care for them on a holistic level – after all, the mouth is connected to the body. Dr. Hudson continues to learn through various study clubs and CE platforms to provide the best and widest-range of care that she can. She takes pride in serving the south side and is happy to take care of your dental needs!

Thank you,

Dr. Rebecca Hudson
