What Should I Expect from A Bonding and Contouring Procedure?
Bonding and contouring can generally be done in one appointment at our office in Allen, TX. You should not need anesthesia, but sedation can be an option to cope with fear, anxiety, or a strong gag reflex. When you're comfortable, we will apply the composite resin to the areas of your teeth that need it. The bonding material will be set with a special light before more layers are added. Once the bonding process is done, we will shape and smooth the filling material and your natural enamel for an even appearance.
After your session, avoid staining drinks and foods for at least 48 hours. The bonding material can stain and chip so avoid chewing on hard objects, like ice or hard candy, and clean your teeth immediately after eating. Bonded teeth must be cleaned like regular teeth with regular brushing, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash. Cleanings at The Dentist of Allen will help polish away stains from the composite resin. With good care, bonding and contouring can last up to a decade. Our team can help you determine if this procedure needs to be redone to maintain your results.
The Dentist Of Allen Reviews
I've been a patient since I was a kid and enjoy coming in for my appointments. The hygienists, dentists and front desk are always really friendly and easy to talk to. Check in/out is easy and I love that you can text the front desk for appointments.
I have been going to The Dentist of Allen for 10+ years now. Before that I bounced around to probably about 10 different dentist for the 10 years before I found them. The staff is always great, they communicate well, and the doctors have always taken great care of me. When I met my wife she switched over to The Dentist of Allen and she refuses to go anywhere else. Great place that has been serving the residents of Allen for a very long time.

Very welcoming environment. Emily is the best hygienist ever! She always provides a very thorough cleaning. She is so personable, kind, and knowledgeable. I appreciate the care and honesty from all staff I’ve interacted with. They are also flexible and have easily accommodated me when I’ve needed to reschedule or push an appointment back. Would definitely recommend this place to a friend!
Dr. Koelker & Patsy are the best!! I am confident & comfortable with Dr. Koelker & his team. The whole office works well together and as a patient you are informed of treatment options & treatment cost. Will continue to come here for dental care.
