What is Composite Bonding?
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure where tooth-coloured composite resin is sculpted directly onto the tooth surface to repair chips, close gaps, reshape teeth, or mask discolouration. Unlike veneers, which are fabricated in a laboratory, bonding is done chairside in a single visit with no tooth preparation needed in most cases. It is the fastest, most reversible, and most affordable way to enhance your smile.
How Does Composite Bonding Work?
- 1Your dentist selects a composite shade that matches or improves upon your natural tooth colour.
- 2The tooth surface is lightly etched with a conditioning agent and a bonding liquid is applied.
- 3Composite resin is layered onto the tooth and artistically sculpted to the desired shape, contour, and length.
- 4Each layer is cured (hardened) with a blue LED light.
- 5The final restoration is shaped, contoured, and polished to a natural lustre that blends seamlessly with surrounding teeth.
Who is a Good Candidate for Composite Bonding?
- Patients with chipped or fractured front teeth needing a quick, conservative repair
- Individuals who want to close small gaps (diastemas) between teeth without orthodontics
- Those with minor tooth irregularities or uneven edges who desire a more symmetrical smile
- Budget-conscious patients who want cosmetic improvement without the commitment of porcelain veneers

Frequently Asked Questions
Composite bonding is applied directly in one visit, requires no tooth preparation, and is more affordable but less durable (5-8 years). Porcelain veneers are lab-fabricated, require minimal preparation, and last 15-20 years with superior stain resistance.
Composite is more prone to staining than porcelain over time, especially from coffee, tea, and tobacco. However, regular dental polishing and good oral hygiene keep the bonding looking fresh for years.
When performed by a skilled cosmetic dentist, composite bonding is virtually undetectable. The resin is carefully shade-matched and hand-sculpted to mimic natural tooth anatomy.
Yes, closing a diastema (gap) is one of the most popular applications of composite bonding. It can be done in under an hour with no tooth reduction.
Multiple teeth can be bonded in a single session. A full anterior bonding makeover (6-10 teeth) typically takes 3-5 hours, often completed in one day at MedProper.
