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.

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.

A tooth extraction is no fun, but staff and doctor were extremely pleasant and professional from start to finish. God help me if I have to have another one, but if I do I will go to CMOS.

Patient Review by David K

Everyone that I interacted with was pleasant and professional. Nickie helped me locate the office ( I got a little lost enroute ). Donna ensured that all of my pre-appointment paperwork was in order. Kristen “babysat” me while the novocaine numbed the area for my extractions. Doctor Kobakov performed my extractions while Kristen assisted. All went well and I was thoroughly instructed concerning post-op care. After I arrived home, I received a follow-up telephone call, as well as an email checking on my status. I am quite pleased with the result of my procedure and the sincere concern that each employee extended to me. My thanks to one and all. Sincerely, David Khanoyan

Sorry, can't smile ear to ear right now. I think getting the novacane shots was worse than the tooth extraction. Overall very courteous and professional.

Patient Review by mathew s

Overall, I had a very good experience at C.M.O.S. The staff was professional and the doctor was right to the point with his work. The only drawback was the nerve blocker injection. Like most people; I'm not a fan of needles. I would recommend this place for dental procedures. Very clean.

Patient Review by Lisa K

This was my first time at CMOS. The staff, their friendliness, the cleanliness of the procedure room were all excellent. Dr. Carmine Colarusso removed a large molar that was cracked in half. He was fast, friendly, and I thought I would be really sore afterwards, but I wasn't. He did a great job, and I have no more pain. I asked for a copy of the xray panoramic, and the receptionist printed it out for me. The whole procedure, including a panoramic xray and extraction of the molar took under 30 minutes. Great Service!
