At Mapleridge Children & Adult Dentistry, Dr. Saini and her team work hard to restore, repair, and save natural teeth because every tooth plays an essential role in biting, chewing, and maintaining jawbone structure. However, there are situations in which tooth extractions are unavoidable.
If Dr. Saini recommends an extraction, she will take the time to explain the procedure to you, along with the cost, before removing the tooth.
