Tooth Extractions
Leominster & Gardner MA
A patient can require a tooth extraction procedure for a variety of reasons. Here at Central Mass Oral Surgery, our oral surgeons extract teeth due to extreme decay, damage, facial trauma, or other oral health complications. Dr. Colarusso, Dr. Baran and Dr. Kobakov are all experienced in the removal of teeth. In some cases, our oral surgeons will meet with you for an oral exam and consultation to review the treatment plan before deciding on an extraction procedure. The removal of teeth can lead to other oral procedures including placement of dental implants or a full-arch prosthesis (denture). Tooth extraction procedures are a last resort, as our oral surgeons work hard to keep as many of your original teeth in place as possible. When a tooth extraction is necessary, Central Mass Oral Surgery makes it our priority to restore your oral health and confidence in smiling.
Common Causes for Tooth Extractions
A few conditions that can lead to an extraction of multiple teeth are dental crowding, periodontal disease, and tooth decay.
- Dental crowding may develop when teeth begin to grow or erupt into a jaw space that is too small. These teeth can become impacted if they are unable to reach full development when emerging from the gums. In other cases, extra teeth grow into the mouth and require an extraction so that the other teeth can grow in properly.
- Periodontal disease is gum disease that can affect the tissues located underneath and around your teeth. This type of infection can lead to tooth loosening and eventually an extraction procedure.
- Tooth decay often develops in patients who are not able to maintain proper oral hygiene habits or regular checkups with their dentist. In some cases, illnesses can cause severe dental decay. When caught late, tooth decay can lead to an infection that can spread to other parts of the mouth, leading to additional oral complications.
Our office is available to assist you in scheduling your consultation with our oral surgeons at your earliest convenience. If you or your dentist notices one of the conditions above, don’t hesitate to contact one of our offices.
Contact us with any questions or to schedule an appointment.
Our caring and dedicated staff can't wait to hear from you!
Tooth Extraction Procedure
We will discuss your anesthesia treatment options for your procedure. If the tooth extraction procedure is complicated or requires the removal of many teeth, we may require the use of anesthesia or additional procedures, such as bone grafting, to preserve long-term oral health.
Extractions are in-office procedures that take less than an hour. After administering anesthesia to prevent any discomfort, your surgeon will rock the tooth back and forth to loosen the tooth before removal. Sometimes the surgeon will break the tooth into pieces to make the removal process easier. We often perform restorative procedures, such as dental implant placement, immediately following the extraction or after a healing period.

At the end of the day, our oral surgeons’ highest goal is to restore the patient’s full smile and oral health. We invite you to call our office to schedule a consultation and discuss your restorative options following an extraction procedure.

I cannot say enough about CMOS. From my initial call to make the appointment to my walkout when my procedure was done!! Walked in and was greeted by your very professional receptionist and very shortly Daily came to get me. I was seated in the procedure room and shortly after Didi came in and introduced herself (I’m not exactly sure just what her title was or what else she did besides hold my hand because I was in reclining position but she held my hand the entire time and it made it much easier for me (I hope I didn’t break her hand by my squeezing so hard). Then Dr. Colarusso came in and began the procedure. He was very aware of my comfort and no pain. I did feel a little pain at one point and he immediately injected more Novocain. My procedure took less than 30 minutes. He was very kind and caring. I was then brought to Rae who thoroughly went over my post-op instructions. I was not rushed and left there knowing exactly what I had to do and who I should call in the event that I had any concerns or questions. She even called me a couple of hours after I got home to see how I was doing. I cannot say enough about the professionalism, courtesy and caring I received at CMOS and I would highly recommend you to my family and friends and anyone else that needs an oral surgery procedure

My experience was excellent across the board. I had a situation that was rather last minute. I was given an appt within days. The staff from the first phone call to the procedure with the doctor and assistant were hassle free and gently handled. I was given clear and precise instructions for what to do and to expect afterwards. I highly recommend this oral surgery office.

I have severe dental anxiety. Perla’s patience and kindness while waiting for the doctor helped ease my fears. Dr Baron came in with such an upbeat attitude which also helped. He explained each step and moved quickly which I was grateful for. The experience was made bearable because of the care I received.
