Comprehensive Options
Surgical Care Built Around Your Comfort and Safety
We know that the thought of oral surgery can feel overwhelming. That is why we built our practice around a patient-first approach that prioritizes your comfort from the first call to your final follow-up. Our surgical center meets Category 1 Anesthesia Facility standards for hospital-quality care. And every patient who has IV sedation is monitored by a double board-certified pediatric anesthesiologist. You are in safe hands. Dr. Kirby Johnson completed his advanced training at the Mayo Clinic and has been practicing for over 30 years. Dr. James Q. Swift served as the Director of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Minnesota. Together they bring unmatched expertise to surgical care in Minnetonka. After your procedure, your surgeon personally calls you that evening to check on your recovery. That personalized attention is not something you find at other practices. We provide six surgical services under this category, each designed to meet a specific need:
A procedure that exposes an impacted tooth and attaches a bracket to guide it into place. Often part of a larger orthodontic treatment.
A range of oral surgery procedures including biopsies, bone grafting, and treatment of infections. Explore general oral surgery.
Surgical removal of damaged or problematic teeth for adult patients.
Prompt care when you have a dental emergency that cannot wait. We keep same-day slots open for urgent needs.
Customized surgical care in a supportive environment for patients with physical or cognitive disabilities.
Each service is backed by our full anesthesia team and the latest technology, including 3D cone beam CT scanning and panoramic X-rays. For detailed information on sedation options, visit our sedation and anesthesia page.
