"Dr. Salm is an excellent dentist. He is very informative and explains the type of work he is performing and what is needed to resolve any dental issues. We have been going to him for over 6 years and he provides high quality work, from dental cleanings to taking x-rays, to fillings/crowns and more. Ethel, the office manager, responds very quickly and is a pleasure to communicate with. She is extremely helpful in scheduling appointments, and is super helpful in submitting dental claims. She goes the extra mile to help in any way she can. All in all, Adam and Ethel are two of the best professionals you will ever encounter. Highly recommend Dr. Salm and his office staff!"

"Considering it was my first time visit I didn’t know what to expect. On the phone I was immediately welcomed by staff(Ethel) who took care of business- set up appt within 2hrs/I had a loose crown/explained new patient procedure. Dr. Salm (&in-practice staff) were extremely professional, courteous and attentive to my situation. Dr. Salm explained my options in detail, set up follow-up appt/I needed to establish a new dentist in the city, I feel confident I have found the right one."

"I've seen Dr. Salm for years and always recommend him to friends looking for a great dentist. Warm and professional, he always takes time to explain X-rays and procedures. I really like that he does cleanings himself, instead of the parade of different hygienists I encountered in other practices I've gone to in the city. His office staff, especially Ethel, are very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!"

"Dr. Salm and his staff, particularly Ethel, provide experience and expertise. They behave professionally and he does not push to do to do dental procedures or work like some other dentists I have used do. That is why I’ve been coming back to him for several years now. I trust him, which is very important."

"After years of searching and trying different dentists, I can confidently say I’ve found my dental office with Salm Dental. Dr. Salm makes me feel super comfortable (a rarity for me at the dentist) and has oftentimes caught or recommended things other dentists never did — for instance, recommending I switch to an electric toothbrush so that I’m softer on my gums. He’s super friendly and really cares about his work and his patients and it shows! Ethel, the Office Manager, is also amazing and SO thorough. Elsewhere I’ve been left in the dark regarding costs, what insurance will cover, etc. - but Ethel does all of the due diligence and informs you of each cost every step of the way. It’s really such a relief! Highly, highly recommend Salm Dental - and believe it or not, I’m actually looking forward to my next cleaning."

"Dr. Salm has such kindness and empathy, I will always use him as a dentist. Im very afraid to get my teeth cleaned and he walked me through every step of the way, playing my favorite 80s music on his Alexa to relax me. Ethel, his office manager is also so kind hearted and pleasant to deal with. I explained to her my plan for my smile and she assisted with fees every step of the way, making sure to stay in my budget because I have no insurance. My smile has never been so perfect, straight, clean and white. Dr Salm and his staff have given me confidence I never had before and hopefully this brings my modeling career to the next step! Thank you Dr. Salm and Ethel!!! :)"

"I and my family have been patients of Dr. Salm for 6 years. Absolutely the highest quality of care. It so happened I had to have my tooth evaluated elsewhere by endodontist who stated she could not have done root canal better. Also very friendly and pleasure to visit. Finally, his assistant Ethel, great administrator, is ultra knowledgeable about insurance, keeps all paperwork, appointments and reminders on track."

"I’ve been going to Dr. Salm for years now and even when I moved to LA - I refused to change my dentist, they are that GOOD. Ethel, the office manager, is so kind and accommodating - I honestly could not imagine going anywhere else! They take care of you from the moment you make your appointment! :)"

FAQs
Tooth Be Told
Do you offer emergency dental appointments?
Many general dental practices reserve time for urgent care; please call our office to check availability.
What should I bring to my first visit?
New patients are typically asked to bring a photo ID, insurance card (if applicable), and a list of current medications.
How often should I come in for a cleaning?
Most people do well with a cleaning and exam every six months. If you have a history of gum disease or a higher risk of decay, we may recommend coming in more often, and we will explain why.
What should I do about a chipped or knocked-out tooth?
Call the office right away and describe what happened. Keep any pieces, rinse gently with water, and avoid chewing on that side until you have been seen.
How white will my teeth get?
Whitening lifts staining, and how much it lifts depends on the natural shade of your teeth and what caused the staining. Crowns and fillings do not change shade, so we look at the whole smile before recommending anything.
What can I do about bad breath?
Persistent bad breath usually has a cause worth finding — gum inflammation, dry mouth, or a tooth that needs attention. Bring it up at your visit; it is a common question and a treatable one.
How do I book an appointment?
Call the office during business hours, or use the booking link on this page to request a time. Let us know what you need when you get in touch so we can set aside the right amount of time.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Call the office as early as you can and we will find another time. Letting us know ahead of the appointment also frees the slot for someone else who is waiting.
