Protect Your Teeth with Strong Dental Fillings in Taylor, TX

Why Tooth-Colored Fillings Are the Modern Standard

Say goodbye to the old days of metallic smiles. At Highlight Family Dentistry of Hutto, we exclusively use composite resin materials that blend naturally with your existing teeth. These fillings are strong, durable, and aesthetically superior—making them a popular choice for both front and back teeth restorations.

Composite fillings are also mercury-free, making them a safer and more biocompatible alternative to silver amalgam. Since we are an amalgam-free dental office, our approach not only protects your oral health but also aligns with holistic and health-conscious lifestyles.

Dental Fillings That Blend Seamlessly with Your Smile

Whether you have minor tooth decay or need to replace an old silver filling, our tooth-colored fillings provide a smooth, natural finish. Unlike silver fillings that can darken your teeth or cause temperature sensitivity, composite materials bond directly to your tooth structure—offering enhanced strength and less removal of healthy enamel.

When Do You Need a Dental Filling?

If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, it’s time to schedule a dental filling consultation:

• Toothache or sharp pain when biting
• Visible holes or pits in your teeth
• Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
• Cracks or chips in a tooth
• Dark spots or staining

Ignoring these warning signs can lead to deeper cavities, infections, or the need for more extensive treatments like root canals or crowns. Early intervention with a tooth-colored filling restores your tooth’s integrity and helps prevent future issues.

What to Expect During Your Filling Appointment

From the moment you walk into Highlight Family Dentistry of Hutto, you’ll feel at ease. Our skilled dentists start with a digital exam and diagnostics to assess the extent of decay or damage. Then, we gently remove the decayed portion and fill the space with durable, shade-matched composite resin. Our process is:

• Quick and Comfortable: Most fillings take under an hour.
• Minimally Invasive: We preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible.
• Precision-Matched: Your filling will be virtually invisible.

How Much Do Dental Fillings Cost?

We believe quality dental care should be accessible. Dental filling costs can vary based on the size and location of the cavity. We work with most major dental insurance providers and will gladly verify your coverage before treatment. We also offer flexible payment plans and financing options, making it easy to prioritize your dental health without breaking your budget.
