Dr. Richard T. Pihlstrom, DDS

Most dental offices handle cleanings and fillings, but when a procedure calls for deeper expertise—like wisdom teeth removal or reconstructive jaw surgery—specialists step in. Oral surgeons operate at the intersection of dentistry and medicine, addressing complex cases that general practitioners refer out. In Fridley, this kind of care is available along University Avenue NE, where surgical solutions for facial trauma, dental implants, and corrective jaw procedures are offered without the downtown commute. The area’s mix of medical offices and quiet residential streets makes it a practical choice for patients needing focused treatment beyond routine dental work.

Booking a consultation with Dr. Richard T. Pihlstrom, DDS starts at 7136 University Ave NE, Fridley, MN 55432.

For first-time visitors, directions help navigate the stretch of University Avenue where clinics and small businesses line the road, just north of the Mississippi River’s bend.
