Before you book

Five-minute checklist before you call

Federal data tells you a dentist exists and is enumerated. It does not confirm insurance acceptance, current availability, or office fit. Use this list when you call so the visit isn’t a surprise.

  1. Confirm insurance & out-of-pocket cost

    • Do you accept my exact insurance plan? (give the carrier, plan name, and member ID)
    • Are you accepting new Georgia Medicaid patients right now?
    • What is the out-of-pocket cost I should expect for the type of visit I need?
    • If you are out of network for me, can you bill my insurer or only me?
  2. Verify the dentist & availability

    • Is Salam Omar Salman the dentist who will see me, or another provider in the practice?
    • Are you accepting new patients? When is the next available appointment?
    • Will the same dentist handle follow-up visits, or rotate?
  3. Verify the license yourself

    Search the Georgia Board of Dentistry license-lookup to confirm the license is active and in good standing — federal records do not show state-level discipline. Open the Georgia Board of Dentistry site →

  4. Match office services to your needs

    • Do you offer emergency or same-day appointments? After-hours number?
    • What languages do your front desk and clinical staff speak?
    • Is the office wheelchair-accessible? Any accommodations available on request?
    • Do you offer sedation options for anxious patients (nitrous, oral, IV)?
    • Do you treat pediatric patients in this practice, or refer them to a pediatric dentist?
    • For surgical procedures, what post-op support is available the same day and overnight?

Ready to call? Have your insurance card and a list of symptoms or visit reasons in front of you.

About oral & maxillofacial surgeons

What is a oral & maxillofacial surgeon?

An oral and maxillofacial surgeon (OMFS) handles the surgical end of dentistry: complex extractions including impacted wisdom teeth, dental implants, bone grafting, jaw reconstruction, treatment of facial trauma, and orthognathic (corrective jaw) surgery. They're also licensed to administer general anesthesia in-office.

Training. After dental school, an oral surgeon completes a 4- to 6-year hospital-based residency. Some programs include a medical degree (MD) integrated into the residency. Board certification is through the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
