Dr. David Salmassy is an oral & maxillofacial surgeon whose daily work centers on surgical tooth extractions—from impacted wisdom teeth to complex, roots-near-nerve cases. With 25+ years in surgical practice, he pairs 3D CBCT planning with in-office IV/oral sedation so care feels precise, comfortable, and predictable. Patients describe him as straightforward, calm, and deeply prepared—someone who explains the plan in plain English and delivers on it.
Why an Oral Surgeon is the Best Choice for Extractions
Surgical depth: OMS training focuses on facial anatomy, nerves, sinuses, infection control, and surgical extractions—day in, day out.
Safety & comfort: Hospital-level anesthesia training; IV/oral sedation available—many patients sleep through it.
3D nerve/sinus mapping: CBCT-guided planning helps navigate the inferior alveolar nerve and maxillary sinus, reducing risk during removal.
Complex cases handled: Deep impactions, retained/curved roots, ankylosed teeth, revisions after difficult attempts—managed in one location.
Fewer surprises: A clear, written plan with expected steps, anesthesia, and recovery guidance—before you decide.
