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.

Highly professional staff, with incredible courtesy, friendliness, and sensitivity to patients' concerns. I would highly recommend CMOS as "the best place you can be" for oral surgery and services. Bedside manner of everyone from the front desk to the recovery room and checkout was A+. These folks REALLY know what they're doing, and they far exceeded my expectations.

Patient Review by Tim S
I had the worst pain I have ever experienced in my entire life and needed a tooth extraction. My dentist referred me and was able to get me an appointment. When there everyone I spoke to was friendly, knowledgeable, and very comforting. The doctor was an absolute pro and kept me informed and made the entire process painless. They took the tooth out and gave me everything I needed to recover properly. I could not thank them enough for how efficient they were and how successful everything went. I am feeling so much better and I would recommend their care to anyone who needs any sort of dental procedure. They are fantastic and will help you get to the other side of your dental woes.

Patient Review by Henry B
For years I'd been putting off having a broken wisdom tooth extracted. Long story short, I finally decided to get it done. Dr. K made short work of it with only a local anesthetic. Fast and efficient. There was no pain. Certainly less pain and more enjoyable than a average weekly corporate staff meeting, by far. So far post procedure pain management required only over the counter meds. Great staff, great doctor, I wish I'd had it done sooner.. Highly recommend.

Such a good experience- as usual I was anxious about having an extraction- but very quickly my anxiety level dropped to Zero. Painless procedure- Dr. Calarusso and the dental assistant were experts in pain control and they were awesome!

Patient Review by Alex F
This is the second child I have brought to CMOS for multiple extractions. I (and more importantly, my 9 and 11 year old daughters) have been extremely pleased with the professionalism, attentiveness, communication, and the comforting and inviting environment. I would not think of going anywhere else if there were other options presented to me.
