Santa Monica patients seeking permanent tooth replacement choose Sunset Oral and Facial Surgery for the full range of dental implant care, performed at our West Hollywood office a short drive from Santa Monica along Sunset and Wilshire Boulevards. Whether the goal is replacing a single missing tooth, restoring multiple teeth with an implant-supported bridge, or transforming an entire arch with All-on-4, every case is planned with 3D CT imaging and placed by a single board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon. For Santa Monica patients who prefer to be seen by the same surgeon from consultation through final restoration, the continuity of care alone sets the practice apart.
Dr. David Salehani is a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon — a specialist who has completed dental school, medical school, a hospital-based surgical residency, and a general surgery internship, the highest level of training available for surgical implant placement. He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery 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. 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 — credentials that reflect both the depth of his surgical training and the regional reputation he has built across the Los Angeles area.
Dental Implant Services for Santa Monica Patients
- Single-Tooth Implants: A single titanium implant supports a custom crown to replace one missing tooth without altering adjacent natural teeth.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: Two or more implants anchor a fixed bridge for multiple adjacent missing teeth.
- All-on-4 Full-Arch Restoration: Four strategically placed implants support a full upper or lower row of fixed teeth — often without the need for bone grafting.
- Live Navigation Implant Surgery: The X-Guide™ system delivers real-time 3D guidance for precision placement in anatomically complex cases.
- Implant-Retained Dentures: Two to four implants stabilize a removable denture for dramatically improved fit, function, and confidence.
Why Santa Monica Patients Choose Dr. Salehani
What distinguishes Sunset Oral and Facial Surgery for Santa Monica patients is the combination of dual DDS/MD credentialing, hospital-based surgical training, UCLA faculty teaching responsibilities, and a deliberately unhurried single-surgeon consultation model. Every patient meets directly with Dr. Salehani, reviews their 3D imaging together, and receives a written treatment plan with clearly explained alternatives — including honest guidance on whether a different implant approach, bone grafting, or non-implant option would better serve their anatomy and goals.
