'TOTAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They s.
erfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distnguished from
he original bv the closest observer; they will never change colour or
lecay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
This method does not require the extraction of roots. or any painful
peration, and wil! support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
glaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth
