About Us

A Tradition of Excellence in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Since 2004, River Ridge has been the trusted choice for surgical care, built on a foundation of empathy, expertise, and community roots.

At River Ridge Oral & Maxillofacial Surgical Center, we believe that exceptional surgical outcomes begin with exceptional patient care. For nearly two decades, our practice has served Sioux Falls and the surrounding tri-state region with a simple philosophy: treat every patient like a member of our own family.

Our Commitment to Innovation & Comfort

We understand that oral surgery can be a source of anxiety. To ensure your experience is as stress-free as possible, we continuously invest in the latest surgical innovations, advanced diagnostic equipment, and modern pain management options. Our board-certified surgeons and highly trained medical staff work in unison to provide a safe, professional, and compassionate environment.

A Collaborative Approach to Care

As a specialized surgical center, we value the trust of our referring dental community. Many of us are native to the Sioux Falls region; this is our home, and we are deeply invested in the well-being of our neighbors. By employing a team-based approach with your primary dentist or physician, we ensure your treatment is seamless from your initial consultation to your final post-operative visit.

The River Ridge Difference:

Our Patients’ Words

Our reputation is built on the experiences of over 60,000 patients. We take pride in seeing generations of the same families return to us for their surgical needs.

Just to say a BIG thank you for everything. I am very grateful.

Thank you so much for the care you provided to one of our interns from Colombia. Medical and dental issues that happen when you are away from home can be scary and expensive. We are so grateful for your help!

I had my wisdom teeth extracted here 1 week ago. They did a very nice job, got me in and out quickly. The workmanship was fantastic, sutures were put in well, and I am recovering well. I think Dr. Henriksen did a fantastic job. I am able to eat most everything well. I would recommend getting sedation for this procedure.

River Ridge was flexible and generous with my financial situation and I will never forget their kindness. I have been telling my dentist and friends about them.

Just wanted to thank you for fitting my daughter into your schedule after Christmas and removing her wisdom tooth. She felt so much better! Thank you also for graciously working with us on our dental bill. I will gladly recommend your excellent facility and will use your services again for my family, should the need arise. Thank you again!

Wednesday I visited River Ridge Oral Surgery with great anxiety over what could have been serious medical conditions. I would like to thank the staff for not only calming my nerves as I was cancer free, but also would like to thank them for their kindness, professionalism and caring for me as a patient. I would highly recommend their surgical center if you are in need.

This is the place to go for all of your oral surgery needs! Doctors and staff are amazing. I had my wisdom teeth extracted and my parents have had extensive implant work done with Dr. Hille. All of us had great experiences! Would definitely recommend!

I could not have had a better experience than I did at River Ridge. The staff was great. They make you feel comfortable. I am a highly anxious person and honestly went in expecting the worst but was very pleasantly surprised.

Had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed. The staff was friendly and best of all it didn’t cost a fortune.
