A young female patient came to Pristine Dental, Chandigarh with a chipped incisal edge on her upper right central incisor — a small fracture on the biting edge of one of the front teeth. Even a minor chip on a central incisor stands out, as it breaks the smooth, even line of the smile.

The tooth was restored with composite bonding (also known as composite restoration), in which a tooth-coloured resin is applied directly to the tooth, sculpted to rebuild the natural incisal edge, and polished to match the shape and shade of the surrounding teeth. Completed in a single visit, the result restores the natural contour of the tooth and a smooth, even smile line — with no drilling of healthy tooth structure and no lab work required.

Composite bonding is a quick, conservative, and cost-effective way to repair chipped, worn, or fractured front teeth, delivering a natural-looking finish in just one appointment.
