Cosmetic Polishing Restorative - CPR
CPR’s proprietary formula of special polishing agents renews the luster of composite and porcelain restorations. A 70-cent unit dose of CPR applied with a prophy brush can be used after adjustments, as a stand-alone elective procedure, or incorporated regularly in tandem with dental hygiene procedures - regular prophy paste on natural teeth, and CPR on all restoratives. With routine use, CPR’s ability to clean and finely polish may help minimize staining, reduce opposing abrasion, and maintain the natural look of restoratives. Patients who have elective or old-looking restorations may desire to renew and maintain their natural dental work with CPR. Fees for cosmetic prophylaxis range from $25 to $150 depending on the condition and number of units revitalized. The price is $69.95. You may purchase CPR through your dental dealer or call (877) 477-5486.
