Choosing where to receive oral and maxillofacial surgical care is one of the most consequential decisions a patient can make — these procedures touch the structures responsible for chewing, breathing, speaking, and the way your face presents to the world. From wisdom teeth removal and dental implants to corrective jaw surgery, facial trauma reconstruction, and cleft lip and palate repair, every patient deserves a specialist whose training, judgment, and surgical experience are commensurate with the complexity of the work. Sunset Oral and Facial Surgery is a single-specialist practice in West Hollywood built around that exact standard, with a full scope of services that spans the most routine surgical extractions to the most demanding reconstructive and cosmetic cases.
Dr. David Salehani holds the rare distinction of being a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon with both a DDS and an MD — dental and medical degrees that allow him to manage even the most complex cases involving the jaw, face, and surrounding structures. He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery with honors and his undergraduate degree in biochemistry with honors from State University of New York at Stony Brook, his Doctor of Medicine from Stony Brook School of Medicine, and completed his oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at Long Island Jewish Medical Center followed by a general surgery internship at Stony Brook University Hospital, where he received advanced training in major trauma management. Dr. Salehani serves as faculty at UCLA Medical Center, has held a seat on the peer review board of the Los Angeles Dental Society for over seven years, and is past president of the Beverly Hills Academy of Dentistry. He is a member of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, the California Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, the American Dental Association, the New York State Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, and the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Dental Honor Society.
West Hollywood’s Premier Oral Surgery Center
Located at 9201 Sunset Boulevard, the practice serves patients from across Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Glendale, Pasadena, and the surrounding communities — drawing both routine surgical referrals and complex reconstructive cases that require dual dental and medical expertise. The office is purpose-built for surgical care, equipped with state-of-the-art imaging and computer-assisted surgical planning that allow Dr. Salehani to design every case digitally before the patient ever enters the operating room. This level of pre-surgical preparation is what separates outcomes in modern oral and maxillofacial surgery — particularly for orthognathic jaw surgery, dental implants, All-on-4 reconstructions, and facial trauma cases where millimeter precision determines function and aesthetics for the rest of a patient’s life.
The scope of care offered at Sunset Oral and Facial Surgery is unusually broad for a single-surgeon practice — a direct reflection of Dr. Salehani’s dual training. On the surgical side, patients receive treatment for wisdom teeth, bone grafting, TMJ disorders, obstructive sleep apnea, oral pathology, and cleft lip and palate repair. On the cosmetic side — an extension of the same anatomical expertise — Dr. Salehani performs genioplasty, facial implants, and a curated selection of nonsurgical treatments including Botox, Juvederm, Morpheus8, Facetite, and Accutite. Many patients begin with a functional concern — a misaligned bite, a missing tooth, jaw pain — and continue with cosmetic refinements once they see how dramatically the underlying skeletal and dental work has changed their facial balance.
“Oral and maxillofacial surgery sits at the intersection of medicine, dentistry, and aesthetics. Every procedure I perform is informed by all three. That perspective is what allows me to take on the most complex cases and deliver outcomes that look, feel, and function the way patients hoped they would.” — Dr. David Salehani, DDS, MD
The practice is built around a deliberately unhurried consultation model. Every new patient meets directly with Dr. Salehani, reviews their imaging together, and receives a written treatment plan with clearly explained alternatives. Sedation and general anesthesia are available for surgical procedures that warrant it, administered with the safety standards of a hospital operating room. Insurance plans and financing options are accepted to make care accessible — the practice’s billing team is happy to verify benefits in advance so patients understand cost expectations before treatment begins.
