Dental Bonding
As an alternative to porcelain veneers, composite resin bonding may be used to repair teeth that are chipped or broken or that have become discolored or misaligned.

What Is the Mechanism?
The tooth is softly etched, and a bonding liquid is used to get it ready for the treatment. After the liquid settles, the dentist applies a plastic resin and molds it into the desired form. The wax is cut, smoothed, and polished to look more natural.
Issues to consider
If you're looking to enhance the appearance of your teeth, dental bonding is a great option. It is, however, more susceptible to staining, chipping, or breaking than natural teeth because of the plastic resin employed. For the most part, bonding lasts three to five years before needing to be repaired.
