What Is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that enhances or improves your teeth. It is common to deal with issues like gaps, chips, and misshapen teeth. While these are usually minor problems, they can impact how you feel about your smile. Dental bonding can change the shape, size, and color of a tooth.
The process, which is sometimes known as composite bonding, uses a tooth-colored material made of resin to address issues with teeth. Many patients trust the care of Dr. Allouch to help clear up the following concerns. If your tooth complication doesn’t fit this list, feel free to still give our office a call! We would be happy to address your needs and point you to idealized care.
- Cover Tooth Chips/Cracks: Cover up chips and cracks in your teeth with the help of dental bonding. This service can clear long-term issues in as little as one visit.
- Restore Tooth Gaps: Tooth bonding is a cost-effective way to clear minor gaps or spaces between teeth without needing to actually move your teeth.
- Configure Your Teeth: If your natural tooth structure makes it difficult to eat and drink, dental bonding can reconfigure your tooth structure to help you feel great.
- Clear Your Smile: Smile with confidence— free from distracting tooth stains or discolored teeth. Dental bonding can hide permanently discolored teeth.

Affordable
Dental bonding is very cost-effective compared to other dental treatments. Many patients seemingly put off important dental procedures because they don’t see how the issue is affecting their mental and oral health. Dental bonding adjusts to your financial and personal needs, helping you to find momentum to feel fulfilled in your oral care.
You can’t place a price on greater confidence. Call Dr. Allouch and our dental team to schedule a dental visit today.
Efficient and Convenient
We understand that for many people, taking time to complete a dental procedure costs extra money in missed shifts and personal opportunities. Our dental treatments, no matter the symptom, work with your personal schedule and health history to find the care you need.
Some cosmetic dentistry procedures require many visits to the office to help make the dental procedure worth your while. Dental bonding only requires one visit, which rarely lasts longer than 30 minutes to an hour. We strive to improve all aspects of your oral care experience.
Non-Invasive
With dental bonding, the dentist doesn’t have to remove any tooth enamel or alter your natural teeth in any way. Instead, the process involves adding material to fix minor issues, so it is a minimally invasive, comfortable treatment.
This non-invasive service makes it easy for patients who struggle with dental anxiety. We happily offer dental sedatives to aid patients who need additional assistance as well.
Flexible and Versatile
Dental bonding can address many different cosmetic issues, such as chips, cracks, and gaps, making it a viable option for many patients and a wide variety of unique dental needs. Dental bonding can last up to a decade with proper maintenance, making it versatile for a wide range of tooth complications.
During a visit to our office, Dr. Allouch can look at any cosmetic imperfections you have and see if dental bonding will resolve these issues. If you have dental issues that cannot be resolved with dental bonding, we offer several other solutions. You deserve a smile you feel good about, so he can also work with you to discuss other cosmetic dentistry services you are interested in.
What are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are another dental care option that greatly benefits severely damaged smiles and imperfections. They use the same resin that composite bonding does. Read below to learn more about how dental fillings can improve your quality of life.
Restore Tooth Form and Function
As opposed to dental bonding, dental fillings focus on the inside of your teeth. Most patients recognize dental fillings as the standard treatment for tooth cavities. Though this is the most common reason, fillings can assist in helping your teeth react to the demands of everyday life.
- Dental Trauma or Deterioration: Our older patients sometimes feel that their smile feels worn or decayed despite their best efforts to care for it. Dental fillings recreate the natural structure of your teeth to prevent further damage and reverse the aged appearance.
- Rejuvenate Your Look: Even with diligent oral care habits, weak teeth can sometimes show discoloration. Give your look a fresh start with the support of tooth fillings.
- Stop Infection in Its Tracks: The main purpose of dental fillings is to stop infection and reduce tooth sensitivity after minor damage has happened to your tooth.
Living with Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are an extremely popular tooth treatment that provides full functionality to your smile, allowing you to chew, drink, and socialize without any complications. Before you take that next step, there are a few things you need to know about this service.
We’ve listed some common questions below, but we’re happy to address any outstanding concerns during the appointment.
How Long Do Fillings Last?
Dental fillings are built to last several years, but may need upkeep, especially if the cavity returns. They are built to act like a natural part of your outer tooth. Be sure to follow recommended dental habits thoroughly. To keep your teeth healthy, we recommend you:
- Schedule Biannual Dental Visits: Biannual dental visits are a simple way for our dental team to spot and even reverse significant tooth damage before it gets worse.
- Protect Yourself from Tooth Trauma: Be sure to protect yourself and loved ones by using mouthguards while engaging in a high risk of tooth damage.
- Limit Tooth-Damaging Foods: We understand treating yourself every once in a while, but extreme use of sugar-filled foods can corrode your teeth and cause damage.
Are Dental Fillings Uncomfortable or Inconvenient?
We totally get that dental fillings may feel like another task on a busy schedule. We keep our visits short and efficient so you don’t have to take too much time out of your schedule.
Though you may feel some slight discomfort for a short time after the filling is placed, the impact is only temporary. Each filling is built to fit your particular smile, helping you to perform and interact with others at your best.
Receive Exceptional Results with Dr. Allouch

Sedation Dentistry
Dental procedures that alter your teeth may sometimes trigger anxiety in our patients. Sedation dentistry works around these concerns by medically placing the patient at ease during the dental procedure.
In many cases, patients will be able to interact with Dr. Allouch throughout the service. This tool also alleviates dental pain while the service takes place, making it even easier to fulfill your oral care needs.

Dental Fillings or Dental Bonding?
The resin material used in dental bonding is the same material used to fill cavities, but the process and the purpose of each service are slightly different. Our team will educate you on the best form of care based on your personal circumstances and health history.
In most cases, we suggest dental fillings for inner tooth damage and dental bonding for outer tooth damage. We will cover each of the following advantages below:
Dental Fillings
When repairing a cavity, the dentist will first have to remove the small area of impacted tooth and then fill the hole left behind with the tooth filling, hence the name. Dental fillings help to fill the space left by the damaged tooth, which eases pain and discomfort. Frequent concerns that warrant tooth fillings include cavities or teeth impacted by tooth/gum infections.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding, on the other hand, mainly involves adding material to reshape or camouflage issues with your teeth. While you may need your tooth polished first, it is generally a less intense process. This service touches up minor tooth trauma that affect your aesthetics more than your oral health.

Along with dental bonding, Dr. Allouch and the dental team at Broadway Dental of Pearland provide comprehensive cosmetic dentistry services.
