Good Teeth
and Good Looks

How frequently you hear such
expressions as "She never ought
to laugh" "Her teeth spoil her
beauty" what pity she hasn't
good teeth" etc, etc.
AS we have often said before
in these brief announcements.
good teeth and good looks go
hand in hand. There was an ex-
cuse for poor teeth before the
discovery of the ALVEOLAR
METHOD of supplying missing
teeth without the aid of partial
plates or so-called bridge work.
There was nothing better offered
when teeth were loose, diseased,
decayed or missing but to fill up
the hole with row of what were
rightfully termed false teeth"
They deceived nobody - they
were as false in looks as in name.
You can imagine the sensation
that was created when the AL
VEOLAR METHOD was first
brought to the attention of the
American people. We promised
that we could duplicate natural
teeth so closely that it would be
impossible to distinguish the arti-
fetal from the natural. People
were incredulous-we had a vast
amount of skepticism to overcome
in the beginning, but now we can
refer to so many people who are
wearing these beautiful teeth and
enjoying them--for they are not
alone good to look at, but are
good to use-that there is hardly
community on the Pacific coast
but what we can refer to one or
more patients of ours who are
wearing these teeth. This meth
cd is practically painless. There
is no surgery, boring or cutting
into the gums connected with it !:
there is nothing about it in any.
way that you need dread. If you
have two or more teeth left in
either jaw and are wearing par
tial plate or torturesome bridge
we want you to do one of two
things-either come to one of our
offices and have a free examina-
ton made of your teeth, a service
which we perform absolutely free
and without obligating you in any
way, or if you are not near enough
to call in person write for our
booklet entitled "ALVEOLAR
DENTISTRY" which we send
free upon request. If you will
read this book carefully we be-.
lieve it will awaken a desire on
your part to come to Our offices
and have this work done, no mat
ter how great the sacrifice of time
or money. The work is not ex-
pensive and does not entail much
of sacrifice of time to complete.
ALV VEOL A R TEETH and
good looks go hand in hand, and
good health follows as matter
of course.
We shall hope that this short
talk will be the means of causing
you to either call or write today
for further particulars regarding
this, the most remarkable achieve
ment of dental science of modern
| times.
