Tooth-Colored Fillings

In today’s world, more patients are looking for fillings that blend seamlessly with their natural teeth. Composite resin fillings—also known as tooth-colored fillings—offer an aesthetically pleasing option that restores both the appearance and function of your teeth. These durable fillings are ideal for small to medium cavities and can be used in both the front and back of the mouth.

For front teeth, it’s important to avoid excessive stress on the filled teeth, such as biting hard foods or chewing on non-food items, to maintain the integrity of the bonding.

While tooth-colored fillings are now preferred for their natural look, other options such as amalgam (metal) or gold fillings remain available when necessary.

Of course, the best approach is prevention. Dr. Huggins’ office emphasizes proactive care to reduce the need for fillings, including:

• Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste

• Flossing daily

• Eating a nutritious, balanced diet

• Visiting the dentist for regular cleanings and checkups every six months
