Dr. James Kraus

At the edge of Peabody’s office cluster near Route 114, Dr. James Kraus runs an oral surgery practice where referrals from nearby dentists keep the schedule steady. The office sits at 6 Essex Center Dr #112a, a brick plaza that also houses a pharmacy and a tax prep service. Patients needing wisdom tooth extractions or dental implants find one-stop care without the drive toward Salem or Danvers, saving a few minutes in traffic. They also handle bone grafting to prep for implants and corrective jaw surgery for misaligned bites, keeping treatments under the same roof. A phone rings quietly on the desk—(978) 531-1450—when callers need to confirm an appointment or describe discomfort firsthand. The oral surgeon keeps removal of cysts and treatment of facial trauma in the same toolkit as bone grafts and pre-implant evaluations. If you’re mapping a quick stop between shopping at Northshore Mall and a coffee on Main Street, pull up the map ahead of time: directions drop you right at the plaza door.
