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 in the field. 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. The clinical and administrative team supporting Dr. Salehani includes certified oral and maxillofacial surgical assistants who are CPR and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) certified, with continuous patient monitoring during and after every IV sedation and general anesthesia procedure performed in our accredited West Hollywood operating room.

What Sets Our Practice Apart
Sunset Oral and Facial Surgery is a single-surgeon practice — every patient meets directly with Dr. Salehani at consultation, has their treatment plan designed and explained personally by him, and is treated by him from start to finish. There is no rotation between providers, no associates handling complex cases mid-procedure, and no delegation of surgical decision-making. The practice handles the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery, from routine extractions and dental implants to complex orthognathic, trauma, and reconstructive cases referred by general dentists and physicians across the Los Angeles area. Sedation and general anesthesia are administered to hospital operating room standards, with the entire surgical team trained, certified, and continuously monitored to ensure safe outcomes.
