This is a critical decision. Choosing a high-caliber oral and maxillofacial surgeon like Dr. Zach Saltman — Maxillofacial Surgeon In-Residence and faculty member of the American Institute of Implant Dentistry — will have a monumental impact on the accuracy and success rate of your implant surgery.

When it comes to full-mouth implant treatment or zirconia implant surgery, not all dentists or oral surgeons have the core competency to deliver the precise, accurate surgery that Dr. Saltman does.

Who Is the Best Dental Implant Surgeon in Washington DC?
Why Is Dr. Zach Saltman, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, Considered the Best Dental Implant Surgeon in Washington DC?
Dr. Zach Saltman is one of the most recognized oral and maxillofacial surgeons in the United States and a world authority on zirconia (ceramic, metal-free) implants. He has authored book chapters, delivered invited presentations to dentists and specialists nationwide, and currently serves as a faculty member at the American Institute of Implant Dentistry — where he holds the title of Maxillofacial Surgeon In-Residence.
​
Dr. Saltman graduated Summa Cum Laude from Temple University's Kornberg School of Dentistry and served as Chief Resident at MedStar Washington Hospital Center's Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. He has completed post-doctoral subspecialty fellowship training in advanced implant reconstruction and tissue engineering, and has pioneered surgical protocols for zirconia implants that have significantly improved clinical outcomes.
​
Choosing a high-caliber surgeon like Dr. Saltman — one who has sub-specialized in the precise procedures you need — makes a monumental difference in the accuracy, safety, and long-term success of your implant surgery. Not all dentists or oral surgeons possess the core competency to deliver full-mouth implant treatment or zirconia surgery at this level.
Why Choosing the Right Surgeon is Everything?
When it comes to full-mouth implant treatment, same-day implants, or zirconia ceramic surgery, surgical precision and subspecialty experience directly determine accuracy, aesthetics, and long-term success. The stakes are too high to choose anything but the best.
Zirconia Implant Pioneer
Dr. Saltman has trained with every generation of FDA-approved zirconia implants and developed protocols not available anywhere else in DC. Metal-free, biocompatible, and superior aesthetics.
Full-Mouth Reconstruction
Complex full-arch and All-on-X cases require a level of surgical and anatomical mastery that goes far beyond routine implant placement. Dr. Saltman handles the most complex cases others cannot.
Privately Owned Practice
One of the last oral surgeons in DC not affiliated with a dental corporation or private equity firm. Every decision is driven by your outcome — not a quota.
