Bonding is just another word for placing a white (composite) filling. Generally, it refers only to the front teeth. With bonding, he's not filling cracks... he's adding to your teeth, making them longer/wider/thicker/whiter or any combination of these. Depending on what he has planned, it may DRASTICALLY change how they look so you should have all the say in what he will do. Extensive bonding can be considered a poor man's porcelain veneers. They will not last as long as veneers and will stain over time.
