Cosmetic bonding is an alternative to veneers that is quicker, easier, and less expensive for repairing chipped or broken teeth. The document describes a case where a young man's front teeth were broken in an accident and bonding was recommended over veneers due to his age. The process involves making a model of the broken teeth, replacing missing tooth structure with wax, creating a silicone matrix, selecting the correct shade of composite, overbuilding the composite and trimming it back to complete the bonding procedure.
