Cosmedent, Inc. |
Cosmedent’s Founding
Cosmedent was founded in 1982 to meet the early demand of aesthetic dentistry training in the use of composite materials for esthetic dentistry. Two of the original co-founders, Dr. K. William (Bud) Mopper and Michael O’Malley, shared an excitement and enthusiasm for the vast possibilities of direct resin bonding, not only as a restorative material, but also as a cosmetic procedure that would meet the needs of image-conscious patients. Bonding offered the dentist new opportunities, both as a rewarding artistic experience that made patients feel better about themselves and also as a way to significantly increase office revenues.
