Achieving a functional, beautiful smile often requires more than traditional dental treatments. Many people are born with congenital dental issues or incur dental trauma or oral diseases later in life. Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a specialized field of dentistry and surgery that provides surgical solutions to achieve the desired form and function for the teeth, jaw and facial structure. At Sunset Oral Surgery, we offer advanced oral surgery procedures to give you and your family healthy beautiful smiles.
Dr. David Salehani is a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon with the rare distinction of holding both a DDS and an MD — dental and medical degrees that allow him to manage even the most complex cases involving the teeth, jaws, face, and surrounding medical conditions. 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 — credentials that reflect both the depth of his surgical training and the regional standing he brings to every case, from a child with a cleft palate to a senior pursuing full-mouth implant reconstruction.
