About Lindstrom, MN
Lindstrom is a picturesque community of nearly 4,900 residents in Chisago County, proudly known as "America's Little Sweden." Founded in 1853 by Swedish immigrant Daniel Lindstrom, the city is nearly encircled by South and North Lindstrom Lakes and sits at the heart of the Chisago Lakes region, about 35 miles northeast of the Twin Cities. Lindstrom's rich Scandinavian heritage is celebrated through its iconic landmarks, Swedish-inspired architecture, vibrant festivals like Karl Oskar Days, and a warm, welcoming downtown that draws visitors and new residents alike.
- Allemansrätt Park: This 125-acre wilderness and Swedish heritage park features a secluded 14-acre lake, glacial eskers, over 10,000 feet of shoreline on three lakes, an 1853 homestead, and miles of trails open for hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, and kayaking in the spirit of the Swedish tradition of public right of access.
- Ki-Chi-Saga Park and the Karl Oskar House: This 98-acre park is home to the Karl Oskar House, an original 19th-century Swedish immigrant farmhouse that inspired author Vilhelm Moberg's celebrated novel series The Emigrants, along with playgrounds, picnic shelters, lake access, and scenic walking paths.
- Coffee Pot Water Tower: One of Minnesota's most recognizable roadside landmarks, Lindstrom's iconic water tower is shaped and painted to resemble a traditional Swedish coffee pot, standing as a beloved symbol of the city's Scandinavian heritage and playful community spirit.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Lindstrom Area Oral Surgeon Practice
Our Forest Lake office at 1420 South Lake Street, Suite 200 is located approximately 11 miles southwest of Lindstrom along Highway 8. Most Lindstrom residents can reach our practice in about 15 minutes by car, making True North one of the most convenient oral surgery practices in the area. We also have offices in Maplewood and Woodbury for patients who may need care closer to other parts of the Twin Cities metro.
Full-arch dental implant restorations are a transformative solution for patients who are missing all or most of their teeth on one or both arches. This approach uses a series of strategically placed implants to support a fixed, permanent set of replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
At True North Oral Surgery & Implants, our surgeons use advanced CBCT imaging to evaluate your jawbone and design a customized implant plan. We place only premium implant systems from Straumann, Nobel, and Astra, and we work closely with your restorative dentist to ensure a seamless, natural-looking result that restores both function and confidence.
A sinus lift is a bone grafting procedure that adds bone to the upper jaw in the area of the premolars and molars, between the jaw and the maxillary sinuses. This procedure is often necessary when there is not enough natural bone height in the upper jaw to support a dental implant, which can result from long-term tooth loss, periodontal disease, or the natural anatomy of the sinus cavity. At True North, our board-certified oral surgeons perform sinus lifts using the latest techniques and materials to create a strong, stable foundation for successful implant placement.
Preparing for your oral surgery appointment at True North is straightforward, and our team will provide you with detailed pre-operative instructions specific to your procedure. In general, patients who will receive IV sedation should avoid eating or drinking for a set period before surgery and arrange for a responsible adult to drive them home afterward. It is also helpful to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and to let our team know about any medications you are currently taking. We encourage you to ask questions during your consultation so you feel fully informed and comfortable before the day of your procedure.
Absolutely. True North Oral Surgery & Implants works closely with general dentists and orthodontists throughout the Chisago Lakes area to ensure that every patient receives coordinated, comprehensive care. Whether your Lindstrom dentist has referred you for wisdom teeth extractions, dental implant placement, oral surgery for orthodontics, or another procedure, our surgeons will communicate directly with your referring provider to share imaging, treatment plans, and progress updates. If you do not have a referral, you are welcome to contact our Forest Lake office directly at 651-578-7000 to schedule a consultation.
