Composite Bonding
Sculpted tooth-colored resin that closes gaps and reshapes edges in one sitting.
A composite bonding plan built around your face
Composite Bonding at Lumina is designed, not dispensed. We plan the result to your features and the smile you already have, so the work reads as a quiet improvement rather than an obvious intervention.
Dr. Camille Reyes carries the case from the first preview to the final polish, so the standard holds throughout and you always know exactly what to expect at reveal.

Consult and preview
We start by studying your face, your bite, and the teeth you want to keep, then build a preview so you can see the composite bonding result before anything becomes permanent.
Design and match
Shape, shade, and translucency are matched to you, not a template, so the finished smile reads as naturally yours from the first glance and holds up in every light.
Refine and reveal
We place, polish, and refine on site, checking the result against your face and your approval before you leave. Nothing is rushed and nothing is guessed.

Bonding is the least invasive way to change a tooth's shape, and it is genuinely the right answer more often than a cosmetic studio has any commercial reason to admit.
| Question | Composite bonding | Porcelain veneer |
|---|---|---|
| Time in the chair | One visit, 45 to 90 minutes | Two to three visits over weeks |
| Enamel removed | Little to none | A thin layer, permanently |
| Stain resistance | Picks up colour slowly over years | Holds its shade for good |
| If it chips | Repaired chairside the same day | Remade in the lab |
| Best for | One or two edges, a small gap | A whole smile line, a shade change |

is all most single-tooth bonding needs, from shade reading to final polish.
Illustrative for this demo studio. Larger cases, where we are reshaping four or more teeth at once, are usually split across two calmer appointments rather than one long one.
Questions about composite bonding
The things people actually ask us at the consult, answered plainly. If yours is not here, the book page is the fastest way to reach the studio.
Four to seven years is a fair expectation with normal care in this demo scenario. It is a repairable material, so most people top up or repolish rather than replace the whole thing.
We layer two or three shades rather than one, because a real tooth is not a single colour. The match is checked in daylight before we cure the final layer.
Usually nothing more than roughening the surface so the resin grips. That is the main argument for bonding: it keeps your options open in a way veneers do not.
Often, yes, if the gap is modest and your bite allows it. Wider gaps look better closed with aligners first and a smaller amount of bonding after, which we would tell you at the consult.
