For many years dentistry has been searching for that magic wand to create instant esthetic results. The terms “universal” or “chameleon” have been used to sell the dentist on the concept that less is better and one size fits all.

As a pioneer of composite bonding, Dr. Bud Mopper has never seen it that way. That is why Cosmedent’s Renamel Restorative System of materials, shades, and handling properties is ideal for what the cosmetic dentist of today wants. Through a systematic approach, Dr. Mopper’s concept makes bonding simple for any dentist.
