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.

Patient Review by Christine P
Easy access, great updated building and such a comfortable lobby made me feel at ease right away! Front desk attendant was so helpful and welcoming. The dental surgeon was truly impressive! I felt safe and confident being in the care of this office and medical staff. So relieved after being sent to a specialist in Worcester where I had a totally opposite, stressful and unsettling experience. Thank you!

Patient Review by Brent A
All was well. I usually see Dr Baran but he was out. This Dr was nice but to be sitting in the chair and having to decide if I wanted to do a 1000$ bone graft in like 5 minutes was a bit much

Patient Review by Jim M
I walked into the Gardner office (my dentist is next door) for an extraction. The only available appointment was about 3 weeks out except for 'in 45 minutes' at the Leominster office. Gardner staff had me do all paperwork and facilitated me getting there in time. The Dr was absolutely no nonsense, all busniness, communicated well and you could tell he cared about what he was doing. The staff was very good, caring and professional. Yes, an extraction hurts. They're ripping a portion of bone out of your skull. Do what they say, follow the ample directions they give you and there shouldn't be a problem.
