I have a composite bonding on my tooth that is about 18 years old and still looks and feels fine. do i need to get it replaced since it's old though?

No: If it looks and feels fine, and there is no staining, fractures or decay, then there is no reason to replace it.

No need to fix: Don't waste time, money and energy. If it ain't broke, don't fix it

No: No, if it is still performing well and within the normal limits of dentistry then I would let it ride!!
