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.

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.

Tooth Extractions at Central Mass Oral Surgery

Our team in Leominster, MA, and Gardner, MA, understand that a tooth extraction procedure can be an emotional step for patients. 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.

Patient Review by Jacqueline S

July 2026. Yes another visit at CMOS. Dr. Colarusso is not only exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable, but he is also a kind and compassionate healthcare professional. He took the time to answer my questions, never made me feel rushed, and genuinely cared about my comfort and well-being throughout the entire process. I also want to recognize his two staff members, both Rae and Mariah for their compassion and attentiveness who made a stressful situation so much easier, and I truly appreciate the outstanding care they provided. It is rare to find a practice where both the doctor and the staff consistently treat patients with such respect, warmth, and professionalism. Jackie S.

Patient Review by Constance V

If you are at all in need of contemplating on where to go, look no further. From walking in the front entrance, you are given a very welcoming arrival. From receptionists, attentive nurses & checking out, you will not be disappointed. Dr. Colaruso was gentle & even a bit funny & before I even realized it, my extraction was done. Thank you all for being so kind.

The experience with the staff and surgeon was great. It’s a beautiful office and waiting area. During my extraction I was told I would perhaps feel ‘pressure’, but I felt NOTHING. It was a very smooth experience and I highly recommend this team.

Patient Review by Ivy P

For being so scared of dentists, this was the best place to go. They had an opening for an extraction the next day and scheduling was so smooth over the phone. All the receptionists were very nice and knowledgeable, answering every question I had like it was the most important thing and didn't make me feel judged for being worried. Nurses and doctors were amazing, very personable and quick witted, I have never laughed that much during a procedure that I was so worried about minutes before! Quick and painless extraction, everyone was on the ball about my comfortability. This was the best dental experience I've ever had, I will be returning for any other oral procedures in the future.
