Teeth are in constant contact with bacteria, which makes them extremely susceptible to infection. In addition, teeth are prone to damage if they are not treated correctly. When teeth become too damaged or infected, your dentist may not be able to repair them with usual methods, such as fillings, crowns, and root canals. In these situations, you will likely be referred to an oral surgeon for a tooth extraction.
Tooth extractions are also recommended when there are too many teeth in the mouth, causing crowding, or for children preparing to have braces on. Regardless of the cause, you can feel confident that our doctors will perform your procedure safely and efficiently. To hear more about the extraction experience at our office, feel free to watch the patient testimonials below.
“I came here because I had a very painful toothache a couple years ago. I got here right away, and they were very nice to me, and I only had to wait about five minutes, and then they brought me in. Dr. Colarusso was very nice. He helped me a lot. The other person that was in the room with me just kept talking to me and said that I would do fine and asked me what I was going to do the rest of the weekend and got me distracted from what as actually happening in my mouth. It was very quick, and I got my tooth right out, and it felt much better after that. I would go to Central Mass Oral Surgery. ~Mary
“I had fake teeth since I was in 7th grade, and Dr. Colarusso — I’m the landscaper here — he told me I couldn’t walk around here with teeth like that. So he basically told me I was coming in, and he was taking my teeth out. I had a bad bite, and he was going to fix me up. My bite, I couldn’t close, so I would eat a sandwich, and I’d be able to pull, and the bread would cut off, but the meat would basically come out. It was a Thursday morning, I believe, I went up to the Gardner office, he took out my teeth in about ten minutes. I was there for probably half an hour, did all my implant work. I had a flipper, and a couple months later, I had teeth implanted in my head. Oh, it’s awesome. It’s one of the best things I’ve done. Dr. Colarusso is a joker, and we had a good time, and he keeps you very relaxed and calm, and it’s a great situation. Oh, I would recommend Dr. Colarusso and CMOS anytime I have to refer someone.” ~Tim
“I came to Central Mass Oral Surgery due to my father needing three teeth extractions. I made a phone call on Monday, and Central Mass was kind enough to fit my father in two days later. I felt like they went out of their way to accommodate my father — 87, frail, and was in excruciating pain. Dad’s procedure went amazing. In fact, the only disappointing part was I thought it was going to take a little bit longer since I was in the VIP room and hadn’t even finished my cup of coffee yet. Dr. Colarusso is a superstar. He was just professional from start to finish — great guy. The staff here is absolutely fabulous. Everyone is so friendly. They know your name, they welcome you. It’s just a really great experience from start to finish. I would tell my friends and family that there is no other place to go except Central Mass Oral Surgery.” ~Ellen
“I had had a nasty infection from being treated elsewhere, and I needed a sinus lift, and I needed a dental implant. The moment I met Dr. Colarusso, I have to tell you that his confidence, his smile, his grace, his whole manner and demeanor really made me relax and feel like I’d found the right place — and I did. The procedure was like a blink. It was simple; it was quick. The recovery has been phenomenal. I’ve no discomfort. I’m able to smile with confidence, and I look forward to the next implant. He gave me back my smile that I had lost for a long time, and it’s probably one of the best experiences of my life.” ~Theresa
“I came to Central Mass Oral Surgery because I had a second molar in desperate need of an extraction. My procedure, which was only done a week ago, went very, very well. Dr. Colarusso is quite the artist at what he does and puts his patients’ minds at ease. My recovery has been incredible. There has been very, very minimal discomfort, and the office calls my house to check up on me. The staff at Dr. Colarusso’s office is incredible. Also, as you enter the practice, there’s a very warm, welcoming feeling from the staff. Dr. Colarusso is an incredible oral surgeon. He is very good at what he does, puts his patients at ease, and has an excellent bedside manner. If any of my friends or family needed to have an extraction done, I would recommend that they see Dr. Colarusso without a question of a doubt.” ~Marc
“After I retired, I wanted to get a full dental makeover, and I knew it was going to be time-consuming, so I needed that time allotment to do it. The first procedure would be extractions of some teeth, and the second would be the implants. The procedure went great. Six teeth were extracted. I had very little pain. Next day, I felt like brand new. Dr. Colarusso did my procedure here at CMOS. What a great personality — bigger than life, fun, put me at ease, very gentle. Everybody was top-notch friendly, personable, from start to finish. Your mouth — your smile — is so important, and it’s something I always wanted to do. It was like a dream of mine, so getting this done was just incredible.” ~Stan
“I came to Central Mass Oral Surgery because I was referred by my local dentist. They needed to do extractions, and he said one of the best firms around is Central Mass Oral. I am not a fan of needles, etc., and Dr. Colarusso came in and assured me that I wouldn’t even know, and actually, after the first injection, I didn’t even know I had it. The procedure went very well, and what I find, I think they’re very professional and focused on the patient — their comfort level — and they also explained exactly what they were doing. Dr. Colarusso is, I think, very professional, very courteous, and really focuses really on the patient and puts them first to make sure they understand exactly what’s happening. The staff – their customer service, I will say, is above my expectations. They treat you very well. You’re just not a patient. You’re really a part of — I’ll call it the Central Mass family. Because of the experience I’ve had here with several extractions, to recommend Central Mass Oral Surgery, Dr. Colarusso, and his team would be the first place to go.” ~Ray

Patient Review by Tuyen N
I had a wonderful experience at CMOS. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by how professional, friendly, and welcoming the entire staff was. The front desk team was incredibly pleasant, polished, and professional, which immediately made a great first impression.
The doctor and surgical team were equally impressive. Everything was handled efficiently and seamlessly, while they still took the time to maintain friendly conversation and make the experience feel comfortable and personal.
You can tell this is a team that works extremely well together—truly a well-oiled machine. Professional, efficient, and genuinely kind. I would highly recommend CMOS!

Patient Review by Kathleen F
I cannot say enough about CMOS.
From my initial call to make the appointment to my walkout when my procedure was done!!
Walked in and was greeted by your very professional receptionist and very shortly Daily came to get me. I was seated in the procedure room and shortly after Didi came in and introduced herself (I’m not exactly sure just what her title was or what else she did besides hold my hand because I was in reclining position but she held my hand the entire time and it made it much easier for me (I hope I didn’t break her hand by my squeezing so hard).
Then Dr. Colarusso came in and began the procedure. He was very aware of my comfort and no pain. I did feel a little pain at one point and he immediately injected more Novocain. My procedure took less than 30 minutes. He was very kind and caring.
I was then brought to Rae who thoroughly went over my post-op instructions. I was not rushed and left there knowing exactly what I had to do and who I should call in the event that I had any concerns or questions. She even called me a couple of hours after I got home to see how I was doing.
I cannot say enough about the professionalism, courtesy and caring I received at CMOS and I would highly recommend you to my family and friends and anyone else that needs an oral surgery procedure

Entire staff from Doctor to assistants to account dept to receptionist all were professional, personable, and made you relax in the building. My 2 experiences have been terrific and will not hesitate returning when or if another issue arises. Kathy at the Leominster office was extremely helpful in guiding me through the situation. CMOS is a CLASS ACT !!

Patient Review by Catherine Z
My experience was excellent across the board. I had a situation that was rather last minute. I was given an appt within days. The staff from the first phone call to the procedure with the doctor and assistant were hassle free and gently handled. I was given clear and precise instructions for what to do and to expect afterwards. I highly recommend this oral surgery office.

Patient Review by Francesca F
I have severe dental anxiety. Perla’s patience and kindness while waiting for the doctor helped ease my fears. Dr Baron came in with such an upbeat attitude which also helped. He explained each step and moved quickly which I was grateful for. The experience was made bearable because of the care I received.
