- True. Bonding involves applying multiple layers of a composite resin to the tooth, which cures under light. The bonding procedure can be used to repair chipped teeth, mask permanent forms of discoloration, and close any gaps between the teeth. As with contouring, the entire procedure can be done in the same sitting.
