What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is all about improving the way your mouth looks. While general dentistry is all about maintaining a healthy smile through good dental care and restorative dentistry is about restoring missing and broken teeth, cosmetic dentistry treats the look of your teeth and gums.
While cosmetic dentistry focuses on aesthetics, many cosmetic dentistry procedures also improve the function or health of your smile.
For example, dental crowns and dental bonding can strengthen your teeth while also creating a more uniform smile. Clear aligners straighten teeth for a more beautiful smile, but they can also help with minor bite issues and improve your dental health.
With our cosmetic services, you can discover a more elegant smile that improves your self-confidence, and in many cases, you’ll also have a smile that functions even better than before.
What Can Cosmetic Dentistry Fix?
Cosmetic dentistry can repair many aesthetic issues and imperfections with your mouth, including:
Gaps between teeth
Misshapen teeth
Discolored, stained, or yellowed teeth
Cracked or chipped teeth
Crooked smile
These issues and more can be resolved through our cosmetic dentistry treatments. Dr. Andrew Allouch is here to help you find the right options for your smile.

Our Cosmetic Dentistry Services

Along with the help of his compassionate staff, Dr. Allouch offers complete cosmetic dentistry services such as veneers, dental crowns, clear aligners, and more.
Learn more about these treatments below or call us today.
Veneers
Veneers repair the look of your smile, without extensive treatments. A veneer is a shell that is permanently bonded to the front of your natural tooth. The dental veneer creates a bright, uniform smile that can cover many imperfections including stains and cracks.
Our office uses the GC Initial® LiSi Press veneer system. These veneers are made of ceramic material, so they are both durable and natural-looking. With this modern system, you can achieve a Hollywood-ready smile in our comfortable, friendly office.
We want you to love your teeth, and veneers are a good option if you have many cosmetic changes you want to make. They are a permanent solution, so we will walk you through the process during a consultation to see if they are right for you.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that cover a damaged natural tooth. If your tooth has major issues that can’t be repaired, a dental crown can restore the look and function of the tooth. These crowns can also restore dental implants, creating a full tooth replacement.
Dental crowns are a cosmetic and restorative dentistry procedure, so they can improve your smile in many ways. With a crown, it’s easy to cover up imperfections such as cracks and chips. The crown also strengthens the tooth and helps prevent further damage or tooth decay.
We offer many options for dental crowns, including porcelain, zirconia, and ceramic crowns. Dr. Allouch will work with you to find the right dental crown that fits your lifestyle and dental health needs.
Clear Aligners
Do you have crooked or overcrowded teeth? Many adults live with their crooked teeth because they don’t want to go through the pain of metal wires and brackets. Fortunately, there is a way to get a straighter smile without traditional braces.
Clear aligners look and function similarly to removable retainers, but these retainers are designed to slowly adjust the position of your teeth. With the SureSmile® clear aligner system, you’ll receive a series of clear aligners designed specifically for your mouth.
At Broadway Dental, we perform intraoral (IO) scans for new patients and provide an orthodontic consultation to discuss any crowding and spacing issues you might be experiencing in your smile. Our consultation ensures a personalized and effective treatment plan for achieving your desired smile.
Dental Bonding
If you have small imperfections in your teeth such as chips or cracks, dental bonding can restore the tooth. Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored composite material made of resin to fill in any imperfections in the tooth, making the tooth stronger and more aesthetically appealing.
Dental bonding uses the same material as a dental filling, but the purpose of the treatment is slightly different. Dental bonding treatment adds material to your teeth, instead of filling a hole left behind by tooth decay. With this strong material that’s matched to your natural smile, Dr. Allouch can reshape, smooth, and more.
Dental bonding only corrects minor tooth damage. For extensive tooth damage, consult with Dr. Allouch to find a stronger cosmetic solution.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is one of the quickest ways to receive a cosmetic boost to your whole smile. At Broadway Dental of Pearland, we offer the KöR Whitening system for quick and noticeable in-office services. We also offer the Zoom! take-home whitening system, giving you professional results at your own convenience.
Both options will brighten your smile using methods that are safe for your tooth enamel. Teeth whitening is done under the direction of Dr. Allouch, ensuring you get the results you want without negative impacts on tooth strength.
Professional teeth whitening is much safer and more effective than over-the-counter options. While products like whitening strips and toothpaste can help somewhat, they take a long time and don’t always bring noticeable results. Plus, many of these products strip your natural enamel.
Smile Makeover
Do you want to make multiple changes to your smile? A smile makeover may be the solution. With a smile makeover, Dr. Allouch will work with you to develop a treatment plan that includes various cosmetic and restorative dentistry treatments.
This plan may include options like veneers, fillings, teeth whitening, and any other treatments you want or need to achieve your dream smile.
A smile makeover isn’t one particular treatment. Instead, think of it as a plan to improve the aesthetics of your smile using the exact right treatments for your needs. This treatment plan is individualized just for you, so you can get the smile you’ve always wanted.

You can also check out our cosmetic dentistry FAQ below to get answers to common questions and learn more about treatment options.
How do I keep my teeth looking great after cosmetic dentistry?
After any specific treatment, Dr. Allouch will give you instructions on how to care for your teeth following a cosmetic dentistry procedure.
Generally speaking, you should maintain good oral health habits as usual. These include brushing twice per day, flossing daily, and using mouthguards when necessary. You’ll also want to see our office regularly for cleanings and exams.
These daily, monthly, and yearly habits are key to keeping a healthy, beautiful smile.
Can veneers or dental crowns get stained?
Yes. While dental appliances like veneers and crowns are more resistant to stains than your natural teeth, this can still happen if you care for them improperly.
But, usually, the issue is staining on your natural teeth. When this happens, your veneers or crowns won’t match the rest of your smile, so you’ll likely need further treatment, such as teeth whitening, to correct the issue.
So, it’s important to follow good dental hygiene steps and avoid foods and substances that cause staining and discoloration.
Does cosmetic dentistry hurt?
Many cosmetic dentistry treatments are pain-free and don’t require anesthesia. For example, teeth whitening and dental bonding rarely need pain medication or management.
There are also some cosmetic dentistry treatments, such as veneers or crowns, that do require anesthesia. For these procedures, Dr. Allouch will ensure you are as comfortable as possible or recommend some of our sedation options.
How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?
The cost of cosmetic dentistry varies greatly depending on the treatment. Simple treatments such as dental bonding will naturally cost less than more intensive options like veneers. It also depends on how many procedures you need and how long they take.
At Broadway Dental of Pearland, we believe in transparency, so we will always discuss the cost with you. We can work with you on payment options. Do keep in mind that dental insurance often doesn’t cover cosmetic procedures unless they are deemed necessary.
Do cosmetic dentistry treatments last forever?
How long the results last often depends on how well you take care of your teeth. The more consistent and diligent you are with oral healthcare, the longer your teeth will stay looking great.
Some treatments will need to be replaced or re-done eventually, even if you take great care of your smile. This is just because your teeth do a lot of hard work, and eventually, things wear down. Veneers and crowns can last between 5–15 years. But, it depends on the individual.
Can people tell if I’ve had cosmetic dentistry treatments?
Modern dentistry advancements have made treatments more natural and less obvious than ever before. For example, crowns and veneers are made of durable material and come in various shades that can completely match your natural smile.
People may notice if you get some treatments, such as veneers, but this isn’t a bad thing! In fact, if you’ve felt self-conscious about your smile, a big change to your mouth’s appearance can be a cause for celebration. You may want to show off your new teeth often!
