Composite resins, or tooth-colored fillings, provide a much more aesthetically pleasing option for filling cavities. Composite resins provide good durability and resistance to fracture in small to medium sized fillings. Composites may be used in the front or back of the mouth. When used in the front teeth, patients need to avoid sheer stress on the teeth that have been bonded with composite resin; i.e., no snapping carrots or biting fingernails around this type of dental work.
From dental implants, partials, dentures, or just whitening, Dr. Huggins and her staff are available to guide you with these services and more, serving patients of all ages with experience and compassion.
