Composite Bonding
Composite bonding is one of the most versatile and cost-effective cosmetic dental treatments available. Tooth-coloured resin is applied directly to the tooth, sculpted, and hardened to seamlessly repair chips, cracks, gaps, and stains — often in a single appointment with no anesthesia required.
How It Works
Assessment & Shade Selection
Dr. Basi evaluates the tooth and selects a composite shade that perfectly matches your surrounding teeth.
Surface Preparation
The tooth surface is lightly etched to help the bonding material adhere. In most cases, this requires no drilling or anesthesia.
Resin Application
Composite resin is applied in layers and hand-sculpted to the desired shape — rebuilding the natural tooth form.
Curing
A special ultraviolet light hardens each layer of resin, creating a strong, durable bond.
Shaping & Polishing
The bonded tooth is trimmed, shaped, and polished to match the sheen of your natural enamel perfectly.

- Minimal to no tooth reduction required
- No anesthesia needed in most cases

Q.How long does composite bonding last?
Bonding typically lasts 5–10 years depending on the location, bite forces, and how well you care for it. It can be polished, repaired, or replaced if needed.
Q.Does bonding stain?
Composite resin is more susceptible to staining than porcelain. Limiting coffee, tea, and red wine — and maintaining good oral hygiene — helps keep bonding bright.
Q.Is bonding the same as a filling?
Both use composite resin, but bonding is applied for cosmetic reasons on healthy tooth structure, while fillings replace decayed or damaged tooth material.
Q.Can bonding close a gap between teeth?
Yes. Bonding is an excellent option to close small-to-moderate gaps (diastema) between teeth without orthodontic treatment.
