most delicate and satisfactory pieces Of
Dental art produced. This crown Il esperi"

crown. but this IN because they don't
understand how 20 construct the Rich
mond. The Logan crown. tho Davis
crown and many cheap grade crowns are
used and substituted for the Richmond
crown. because all these crowns are ready
made. while the Hiehmond IL made to
order especially for each tooth. Some
Dentists make cheap Substitutes and call
them Richmond crowns and for THE
abuse the Richmond has suffered In rcpus
tstion. but lie superiority has long been
Acknowledged. and though this crown
usually brings price Of from twelve to
fifteen dollars. our price IL one-half the
amount. All other porcelain crowns are
ready made or stock crowns. and are easy
to ret but nine out Of ten do no, have
the right color and shape. and should only
be used for temporary work. but when a
permanent natural looking tooth IL need.
ed the Richmond crown is by all odds
the proper crown, and any Dentist who
condemns them has failed 10 learn his
profession.
