Our History

A Legacy of Trusted Oral Surgery Care

The Oral Surgery Center was founded on a simple but enduring philosophy: build lasting relationships with referring doctors while providing exceptional, compassionate care for every patient. Since its beginning, our practice has remained committed to delivering the highest standard of oral and maxillofacial surgery in a welcoming, patient-focused environment.

Founded by Dr. Steve Rodenberg, The Oral Surgery Center was established with the belief that collaboration, trust, and accessibility are the foundation of outstanding patient care. By working closely with referring dentists and specialists, our team has helped thousands of patients receive timely, personalized treatment throughout Minnesota and western Wisconsin.

Growing to Better Serve Our Communities

As the practice continued to grow, so did the need to provide patients with convenient access to expert oral surgery care. Recognizing that timely treatment plays a critical role in achieving the best outcomes, The Oral Surgery Center expanded to additional locations throughout the eastern Twin Cities metro and western Wisconsin.

Today, The Oral Surgery Center proudly serves patients from six convenient locations. Our experienced team of oral and maxillofacial surgeons continues to provide advanced surgical care while maintaining the personalized attention and trusted relationships that have been the foundation of our practice since day one.

A Collaborative Team of Specialists

The Oral Surgery Center is proud to have a team of highly skilled surgeons who share a commitment to clinical excellence and compassionate patient care. Together, our doctors combine extensive experience with advanced surgical techniques and technology to provide comprehensive treatment for a wide range of oral and maxillofacial conditions.

Whether patients require dental implants, wisdom teeth removal, bone grafting, facial trauma treatment, or other specialized surgical procedures, our team is dedicated to providing prompt and exceptional care. We also offer a same-day urgent care clinic designed to help patients experiencing immediate oral surgery needs receive timely treatment.

Expanding Comprehensive Care Through Partnership

Always looking for ways to better serve our patients and the dental community, The Oral Surgery Center recognized the need for specialized periodontal care in the region. This led to the creation of The Periodontal Center, established in partnership with periodontist Dr. Jason Johnson.

With practices located adjacent to our Woodbury and Hudson offices, The Periodontal Center provides advanced periodontal services that complement our oral surgery care. Doctors David Paulson and Greg Ramirez help enhance our shared mission of improving the oral health of patients throughout our communities through specialized, collaborative care.

Proudly Doctor-Owned

The Oral Surgery Center is proud to be a doctor-owned practice, allowing our team to make decisions with patient care as the highest priority. We believe this structure positively impacts our approach to treatment, our team culture, and the overall experience we provide for every patient.

Thank You for Being Part of Our Story

Our history would not be possible without the trust of our patients, the confidence of our referring doctors, and the dedication of our team members. We are incredibly grateful for the relationships we have built over the years and remain committed to continuing our journey toward excellence.

As we look toward the future, The Oral Surgery Center will continue to provide exceptional oral surgery care through collaboration, innovation, and a dedication to serving the communities that have supported us throughout our history.
