Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to grow in at the back of the upper and lower jaw; however, the average mouth is typically too small to accommodate their growth. When wisdom teeth attempt to erupt into a mouth without enough room, they can cause a host of oral health issues. Most often, wisdom teeth will become impacted (stuck) beneath the gums and are then at risk for developing infection, cysts, and even tumors.
Fortunately, wisdom teeth removal is a simple solution for preventing these problems from occurring. At Central Mass Oral Surgery, we recommend early wisdom teeth removal because it allows our oral surgeons to extract the teeth before they fully develop and cause problems for your oral health. To hear more about the procedure process and removal experience at our practice, feel free to watch the video reviews below.
“I brought my son here at Central Mass Oral Surgery to have his wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. Colarusso. My son was a little bit anxious because he has never experienced this before, but once we arrived, everybody in the office was very understanding and put him at ease. They did four extractions of his wisdom teeth, and it took approximately 10 minutes for the whole procedure, and after, he recovered beautifully. Dr. Colarusso is a highly professional individual, and we were very comfortable, and we were very confident in what he needed to do. I am a dental hygienist, and I’ve worked in the area for many years, and this office is highly recommended by myself and by my co-workers, so yes, we would highly recommend this place.”

“Dr. Colarusso was referred to me by several doctors, and I found him to be absolutely wonderful. I had an implant done several years ago. The procedure worked out very well. I came in a couple times, and it couldn’t have been better. I feel good about having it done. When I first met Dr. Colarusso, you automatically feel comfortable, feeling that you’ve known this man forever. He’s got great charisma and, as they say in the world of doctors or dentistry, he has wonderful bedside manners. My son also had his wisdom teeth out here, and it was fabulous. I really tell everyone this is the place to come if you need any oral surgery. Or, for these folks that their kids are getting their wisdom teeth out and things. So, it’s really pleasant.”

“I came to Central Mass Oral Surgery to get my wisdom teeth out. I thought that it was going to be very painful and scary, but I ended up being pretty comfortable in the office. Dr. Baran is very friendly, and he did a great job explaining what the procedure really entailed, so I knew exactly what would be happening to me on the day of the operation. I felt like he cared about me as a patient; he called me a day or two after the surgery to see how it was going, as well as followed up with me the next week. The staff was very friendly. They made things very easy and seamless on the days that I came in before the surgery, like for consultations, as well as on the day of surgery. If any of my friends or family in Harvard, or Princeton, or Ayer, needed to get their wisdom teeth out, I would definitely recommend Central Mass Oral Surgery.”
~Molly
“I needed an oral surgeon because my wisdom teeth were severely impacted, and my teeth had begun crowding in the front of my mouth. I have a very large fear of surgeries and needles and everything, but I felt really relaxed once Dr. Baran came in to talk to me, and it was a great procedure. I was awake the whole time. I was still very nervous, but the nurses were very nice, and they were calming me down, and it went smoothly. Within 30 minutes I think I was done. Dr. Baran is a very nice man. He has a very soothing voice, and he has a great sense of humor. The staff was really nice, really patient with me. They just stood by my side the whole time, held my hand, told me to keep breathing, and they were really sweet. I would definitely recommend CMOS because the staff here is beyond nice, and the doctors are very professional and very quick and good at what they do.”

‘I had to come here and get my wisdom teeth taken out. The procedure was really easy. Afterwards, I went home; I think I took one of the painkillers they gave me, and that night I had a hamburger. Dr. Colarusso was pretty wonderful. He was very friendly and made me feel welcome. I didn’t get jitters on the day I came in. He made me feel at home here, and of course, the building is like a five-star hotel, so when I showed up, it was really homey. The staff was great. Just like Dr. Colarusso, they were very welcoming and offered me drinks, if I needed it — water. If a friend had to get their wisdom teeth taken out, I’d tell them to come here, of course, because the staff’s really nice, the doctors know what they’re doing, and the recovery isn’t bad at all. They tell you exactly how to get better quicker, and it works right away.”
~John
“I got my wisdom teeth out here about last year, and it was a pretty great experience from Dr. Colarusso, who took them out. Came here for our surgery, and it was painless. It was pretty easy. It was very quick, and the recovery time was very short. Dr. Colarusso – he’s formal, but he’s also goofy. He likes to joke around; he’ll make you laugh. The staff was very nice, very kind. They took care of me. They made sure I was comfortable. If any of my friends in Princeton, Harvard, or Worcester needed to get their wisdom teeth out, Central Mass Oral Surgery is definitely the place to go.”

This was a consult for my son's wisdom teeth removal. Everyone was so pleasant from check-in to the exam by the doctor, to scheduling his procedure. I checked "No" about it not being my first visit to CMOS, only because both of my kids have been patients in the Leominster office, but it was my first visit in Gardner. I'm thrilled you have an office a bit closer to me :).

Patient Review by Brandon F
Doctor seemed to know his stuff, and was friendly. However, before meeting him I could hear him cursing about his workday in the hallways, then he appeared to not want to give any time to my consultation, and was walking out the door while I was asking a question. In the end he answered my questions, but it appeared as though he was rushing onto the next thing.
