Selecting Your Dentist A Comparison of Serv ice Rendered by Adver tising and Non-Advertising Dentists. (Article. Four) "Wheij you go to a dentist you probably consider the amount of TIME it will take to complete your work, tlio amount of MONEY.it will require to pay for same and the amount of physical discomfort jou must endure. . If yoii are fortunate enough to pick out QUALIFIED dentists (both advertising and non-advertising) the dif ference in service is just this. The private dentist can do only what one pair of hands can do; either he must send, the mechanical work (making crowns, bridges, plates, etc.) out to a commer cial laboratory, or he must wait until after his office hours and do it himself. ' In either event you lose considerable time; and must expect to pay for the extra time and extra labor, and in many instances the finished work is not satisfactory., The Modern Advertising Dental Office, employing a dozen or more people has not only a staff of Dental Operators who are specialists but also a staff of me chanical dentists who do nothing but mechanical work. ,and are experts in their line. : This enables the operator and mechanic to "work together," insures a "made to order" job, and saves days of time apd ALL THE NEEDLESS EXPENSE. , It stands to reason also that in such an office where ' this class of work is performed by specialists, 'over and over, hour after hour and day after day for many years, a technique and skill is developed which minimizes or entirely eliminates the annoying "slips," "cuts," "care less drilling" and "accidents" which must come where inexperienced hands guide sharp instruments. ' Telling you we can 'give you superior service for less money is not nearly so convincing, however, as an actual demonstration in your own case. Bear this in mind, next time you require dental work.- Painless Withers Dental Co, 123-428 Securities Jiiag. lbtn and JParnam Sts. OMAHA, NEB. Office Hours 8:30 A. M. to 6 P. M. Sundays, 9 to 1.
