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 David C
I'm terrified of dentists (bad experiences as a child), so simply coming through the door was a major accomplishment. A wonderful necessary experience a few years ago calmed some fears. Although I can't say I'm looking forward to the experience, I am confident of my survival. (That's a good thing!) DJCJ

Both George and wife Judy told your office staff yesterday that CMOS is the most friendly, welcoming medical business we have ever attended. The appointment was just a meeting with Dr. Kobakov for “possible” wisdom tooth extraction.

Patient Review by William C
easy solution to a tooth gone bad and recommendation from my dentist. All was easy. Location, scheduling, staff, prep, extraction, explanation of followup care, payment, and then contact later in the day to see that all was well. It definitely was. Hope I never need another extraction, but if I do, I'll call them again.

CMOS is a world class facility located in Leominster, MA. As a med professional myself, I go to every length possible to capitalize and benefit from CMOS and Dr. Colarusso's top-shelf professionalism and expertise. My family doesn't call him "The Master" for nothing. I refer everyone I know in need of oral surgieries here and nowhere else. Believe me you'll be hard pressed to find a better facility, staff or qualified oral surgeon like Dr.C at CMOS anywhere in New England, and in my opinion the entire nation. I rarely leave reviews or give med endorsements...but CMOS is deserving of one and I am grateful to have them in my orbit when needed. And those of you who have ever ended up in the ER due to sudden and agonizing oral issues know exactly what I am talking about. Having a place, doctor or surgeon you trust wholeheartedly with your personal well-being is like gold and getting harder and harder to find nowadays. For me and my loved ones...it's CMOS and no place else regardless of my insurance coverage or ascribable costs. And that alone should tell you all you need to know right there. No fluff folks, I'm literally putting my money where my mouth is. I'm not setting the bar unrealistically high, just telling you the facts from my own personal experiences over a decade's worth of multiple oral emergency interventions. You're in good hands at CMOS.
