Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment where tooth-coloured composite resin is applied directly to teeth to improve their appearance. It can fix chips, close small gaps, reshape uneven teeth, and cover discolouration. Unlike porcelain veneers, composite bonding is done in a single visit with minimal or no tooth preparation. The dentist selects a resin shade to match your natural teeth, then applies the material in layers, sculpting it by hand to the desired shape. Each layer is hardened with a curing light. Once built up, the bonding is trimmed, shaped, and polished to a smooth, natural-looking finish. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes per tooth. Composite bonding is one of the least invasive cosmetic treatments available. Little to no enamel removal is needed, making it a reversible option for patients who want cosmetic improvements without committing to veneers. It is also significantly more affordable, though it does not last as long as porcelain.
