Dr. Thomas Melendrez is hands down the best oral surgeon in Reno. His team at Silver State Oral &…read moreMaxillofacial Surgery has been great to work with. From the moment I called in, the staff was professional, welcoming and extremely organized. They made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Pricing was transparent and explained very well. Dr. Melendrez took the time to clearly explain the tooth extraction procedure, implant procedure and answered all of my questions. He made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. His expertise and calm demeanor really stood out to me. The procedures themselves were much easier than I thought they would be. My recovery was quicker than I expected too! The entire team genuinely cares about their patients and goes above and beyond to provide excellent care. If you're looking for a skilled oral surgeon with an outstanding staff, I highly recommend Dr. Melendrez and Silver State Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. He also did both of my kids wisdom Teeth years ago and did an excellent job with them as well!

I always get anxious before seeing a dentist. Dr. Melendrez was referred to me by an endodontist…read morefor an extraction, bone graft and implant. The office staff was so pleasant and professional. They answered all my questions and was so patient with me. The oral surgery went better than I expected. I wasn't sedated since I didn't have anyone that could drive me home afterwards. I decided on nitrous oxide to reduce the anxiety and fear. Dr. Melendrez gave me the novocaine and stayed in the room and chatted until it was time to get started. It was a very nice conversation and it put me at ease. He worked quick. The extraction and the bone graft took less than 15 minutes. There was barely any swelling or pain. I highly recommend Dr. Melendrez and his staff especially if you are anxious going to the dentist.

Ok, so nobody LIKES getting work done to their teeth, so it is hard to give an enthusiastic 5-star…read morereview. But, my wisdom teeth were removed a few years ago by Dr. Muff, so now I can remember the experience for what it really was: GREAT! I was referred to Dr. Muff by my dentist--twice. I kept putting the surgery off because again, no one likes getting work done to their teeth. But it had become serious. I was teething just like my toddler daughter. And just as she would get feverish and catch every bug, I would, too! The ever-opening wound in my mouth was NOT good for my health. My favorite thing about Dr. Muff is that he never made me feel bad for putting off the surgery. Ok, and that he laughed at my jokes! His bedside manner is superb. I was comfortable and confident from the consultation to the surgery to the follow up to the recovery (aka Netflix & Popsicle marathon). Dr. Muff also was cool and collected when I announced I did not have health insurance. The office worked out an easy payment plan that worked great for me! His willingness to work with my finances was a major indicator that he really CARED about my oral surgery. He WANTED the best for my health--even if it meant some patience on his part--THAT was refreshing! The office staff was great. They supported Dr. Muff so he could excel at what he does best--surgery! I have confidently directed friends and colleagues to Dr. Muff's office; I know he will take excellent care of every single person who is under his care. Thank you!

I've been a patient of Dr Dryden off and on for several years and couldn't be more pleased…read more First, let me begin by mentioning his staff. All are very professional, friendly and helpful. Some of the best I've had the opportunity to get to know. Next, Dr Dryden himself. I have had years and years of extensive dental work including many, many extractions and implants. Dr Dryden is the BEST oral surgeon that I have even been associated with. He is very professional and personable and is even tolerant of my occasional humor. Unlike so many in the medical field, Dr Dryden takes the time to listen and then clearly explain the procedures in terms that can be understood by his patients. My recent visit was yesterday for two extractions and one implant. I am not fond of either procedure but Dr Dryden and his staff were able to calm me as best as possible. The procedures went very smoothly. Even afterward, I experienced very little discomfort. Dr Dryden even followed up last night with a personal call (which I missed because I was sleeping). This morning...very little discomfort and I am really able to begin my normal routine, with the exception of following the post op diet restrictions. I highly recommend Dr Dryden for any oral surgery requirements.

I think this is my third post about Dr Martin and his staff. Absolutely first rate and the very…read morebest care there is. Today was an extraction of a wisdom tooth that has been going downhill for a few years. Over the past 3 years Dr Martin has done a hand full of extractions and implants for me. All teeth that started as cavities when I was a child (I am 65 now). Dr Martin is fast and as painless is is possible. Today a rotten wisdom tooth was removed in a matter of minutes, with zero discomfort at the time and very little several hours later. Dr himself called me this evening to followup. Dr Martin is exceptional at what he does, super nice, kind, and sensitive to my other medical issues to make sure that I am as comfortable as I can be (5 herniated discs in my neck). Oral surgery is never something one wants to go do, but Dr Martin makes it as pleasant as it can be. I doubt that anyone does it better - I think I've had 6 or 7 extractions and 5 implants done by him. The very best!

I had a large filling fall out of a Wisdom Tooth (#32). I went to my dentist who said that it would…read morerequire a root canal and crown. My comment was "hey, I'm coming up on 79 years old. Do I really need this, or can I just have it extracted" ? It was agreed that extraction was the logical choice. They then went on to say that if I was going to have that done, I should also have tooth #31 removed. Yow ! After doing much checking of Oral surgeons I decided on Carson Periodontics. The removal was done on Oct 14th. The surgery was performed by Dr. Wilcox. He and his staff were very, very professional. The actual removal was performed very quickly. No pain and no issues. I was back in the car and being driven home before I knew it. It's now been 10 days since the surgery was performed. My recovery has gone extremely well. Again, no pain and no issues. Just the way i like it. All in all, I'm very pleased to give them a strong 5 Star rating.

If you've ever had the unfortunate experience of an abscessed tooth you probably know the kind of…read moreexcruciating pain that turns you from happy human to raging crazy person. Over the 10 days and 3 general dentists visits it took before I finally came to Dr Falke I'm not sure how many times I shattered dishes against the wall and chased my wonderful boyfriend who was just trying to help out of room. After trying to get in with more than a few oral surgeons that were at least 2 weeks out I got Dr Falke's office and the very nice receptionist said she could fit me in the next day (never could have imagined I'd jump for joy to get a dentist appointment.) After a traumatizing experience having a wisdom tooth pulled I was terrified to have another big molar extracted. But Dr Falke and his staff were so kind and patient with me it really helped take the edge off. Dr Falke has the BEST bedside manner...like the perfect balance of warm and casual, and confident and very skilled. I was surprised how quick he got that big tooth out. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a call from Dr Falke that same day to see how I was doing and if I had any questions or concerns. If you're in need of an oral surgeon I would definitely recommend you try Dr Falke's office, especially if you're "dental phobic" like me.

I called to…read moremake the appointment told the person everything that was on the referral four wisdom and two teeth under her gums and my insurance information. She said she would call me back with the highest estimate fore removing six teeth so I would not be surprised. She called back and said $1,500 would be the highest. So we went on 12/16/2025 when we got there the price changed my portion $2,566.40 on the statement I told her I could not pay that what happened to the $1,500 as the highest. she told me that the person I made the appointment with was let go. I should have left then with the high jump in price. so she said let me see if she could get my daughter a discount she came back with another statement showing discount $80.30 discount $80.30 discount $ 300.00 for total $2,242.00. So I said to okay and paid we had traveled 45 min to get there. Dr. Falke came out 30 minutes later and said my daughter was very emotional. My daughter was wheeled after him crying crocodile tears and laughing at the same time. I was upset because there was no recovery time very strange I did like it. I told the nurse because he left 2 seconds later. Today 4/28/2026 I get a text from Dr. Falke's office saying I owe $307.40 So I called she said it was for anesthesia they billed insurance 45min and they paid 15 min so I owe for 30min of anesthesia even though they gave me some discount on the anesthesia. And put my daughter out literally 30 min later not 45min as a basket case for the next 20 minutes. I would never recommend him you don't treat people this way he tries to get as much money as he can. 4 teeth impacted- partially bony 2 impacted - completely bony with unusual surgical complication according to him more money.

They made me feel welcomed and cared for from conversations upon arrival to after care. I am extremely thankful and appreciate all of them who participated in my surgery before and once again! This time I went under IV Anesthesia. She was funny, sweet and reassuring. I remember glimpses of the sounds during procedure but nothing more. She got me in and out in no time! They sent me home with an awesome fabric ice pack head / face wrap which has been helping with my recovery and a little bag which consisted of my after care instructions and vanilla ice cream! (which they let you choose your flavor which I found as an adorable, simple and thoughtful little after care). The oral surgery went well! Still in pain but nothing from the normal! The after care as usual was amazing. She followed up with me a couple of hours later and then a couple hours after her follow up; going into the next day, the office followed up with me as well. I definitely can say this is the only place I will go to for any work around or in the basin, and it is the only place I recommend for extractions or oral surgery.
