Composite Bonding

Composite bonding (also called dental bonding) is a cosmetic dental procedure in which a tooth-colored resin material is applied to the teeth to improve their appearance. It is a non-invasive, quick, and affordable treatment used to repair chipped, discolored, misshaped, or slightly gapped teeth.
