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 Cheryl P
A very good experience overall. I have Complex PTSD and was quite anxious, but everyone put me at ease. Between the numbing and the laughing gas, I had no discomfort. The recovery staff was awesome too. I had to go by myself and they made sure I am doing fine before I left and gave me all the time I needed. I came home with clear instructions, too.

Patient Review by Kathleen G
Patient care is extremely lacking, zero regard for the well being of children. Zero post procedure follow up with the doctor. We were lied to by the dental assistant. This is a puppy mill, please stay away!

Patient Review by Janet B
The only recommendation I have for improved service is dealing with emergencies: I was referred to CMOS by my dentist because I had an infected tooth that needed to come out as soon as possible. The first time I called, I was told there was nothing available for days, no protocol for handling emergencies and no call list available for cancellations. The only advice was to keep calling every day to see if there was an opening...not what you want to hear when you are in pain. When i called the next morning the woman I spoke with said we have an opening that afternoon...I don't know if this was the result of a cancellation or just an opening the first person missed. In any case, I would have appreciated being told when I first called that they would do their best to get me in and be put on a call list for urgent situations.

I would highly recommend CMOS to anyone requiring dental surgery. They were very thorough with my extraction. Everything went so quickly and smoothly that it was over before I realized that it was over.

Patient Review by Katherine P
Everyone was over the top nice, and made the whole “tooth pulling” experience quick, painless and not-awful for my 9 year old. The doctor joked with my son, which he loved. They gave him a goodie bag too which was a nice touch! The space was immaculate and the cushiest waiting room I’ve ever seen. Five stars for sure. Thank you CMOS!

Patient Review by Sue G
My 90-year-old Mom needed a tooth extraction yesterday morning. We were referred to CMOS by our dentist who had x-rayed the tooth and discovered a crack and infection. This was the 1st time that anyone in my family had been to CMOS but other neighbors had spoken highly of the practice. The staff couldn't have been nicer, more professional, or accommodating. We were seen "on-time" and the tooth was out in about 5 minutes. The practice gave us clear instructions after the procedure and called me in the afternoon to find out how my Mom was doing. She did not experience any discomfort and is back to her old self today.
