We can replace them with Alveo

mouth as well as to help destroy
your other teeth. Where you have
lost a few teeth there are dentists
who would extract all the rest to
make room for a plate. (Where
people have no teeth we make
plates, too, and when we do they
look like they grew there. They
are scientifically and aTtistically
