Richard Monti

Oral surgery often sits at the intersection of necessity and precision, handling everything from routine extractions to complex reconstructive procedures. When wisdom teeth become problematic or dental implants require expert placement, the field demands both technical skill and a steady hand. Richard Monti operates in this specialized space, addressing cases that general dentistry typically refers out—whether it’s correcting jaw misalignments, removing impacted teeth, or preparing sites for prosthetic work. The practice doesn’t advertise quick fixes but instead focuses on the surgical side of dental care, where planning and aftercare matter just as much as the procedure itself.

The office is situated along East Waterfront Drive in Homestead, a stretch where the Monongahela River shapes the neighborhood’s character. 240 E Waterfront Dr places it within easy reach of both local residents and those coming from nearby areas like Munhall or West Homestead. This part of town has long been a mix of industrial heritage and residential pockets, and the location reflects that practicality—no frills, just a straightforward address for those who’ve been referred for surgical consultation. Parking and access tend to follow the rhythm of the area, where function usually outweighs ornament.

Booking a consultation here starts with a call to (412) 462-4400, where the focus remains on logistics rather than sales. Oral surgery isn’t the kind of service that lends itself to walk-ins or spontaneous visits; it’s scheduled, discussed, and often coordinated with other dental providers. The phone line serves as the primary point of contact for setting up evaluations, reviewing pre-op instructions, or clarifying post-op care—all the unglamorous but essential steps that define the process. There’s no online booking portal or flashy website to navigate, just a direct line for those who’ve already been pointed in this direction by their dentist.

For anyone mapping out the visit, the directions lay out the route without ambiguity. Homestead’s layout can feel a bit fragmented to outsiders, but the riverfront acts as a reliable landmark. It’s one of those places where you’re more likely to hear about it through a dentist’s referral than a billboard—and that’s usually how it works in this corner of the dental world.
