Soderholm Oral Surgery & Implants

Oral surgery often feels like a niche until you suddenly need a wisdom tooth removed or a dental implant placed. In Alexandria, the options narrow quickly, but Soderholm Oral Surgery & Implants covers the essentials—extraction, bone grafting, and full-arch restorations—without the drive to larger metro areas. The practice sits at 120 12th Ave E, a short detour from downtown but still within easy reach of the lakefront traffic that clogs Runestone Community Park on summer weekends. It’s the kind of address that’s more practical than picturesque, which suits the no-frills nature of oral surgery just fine.

Most patients arrive here after a referral, whether it’s for impacted third molars or preparing the jaw for implants. The focus stays on the procedural side of dentistry, skipping the cosmetic fluff that dominates other offices. Questions about sedation options or recovery timelines are best directed to the staff over the phone—(320) 298-1000 connects to the front desk, where they’ll handle scheduling or pre-op instructions without redirecting to an automated menu. Alexandria’s healthcare scene leans toward general practitioners, so having a dedicated oral surgery practice fills a gap, especially for those who’d rather not add a St. Cloud commute to their recovery.

The building itself doesn’t advertise its purpose, blending into the stretch of professional offices near the highway. If you’re mapping the route for the first time, directions help, though locals know it’s just past the cluster of fast-food spots on Broadway. Oral surgery isn’t the kind of errand anyone looks forward to, but at least here, it’s handled without the fanfare—or the hour-long drive.
