Nestled near iconic landmarks such as Rockefeller Center and St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and just a few blocks from Grand Central Station, the practice offers unparalleled accessibility for patients from uptown and downtown Manhattan, as well as New Jersey and Connecticut. Led by the esteemed Dr. Robert M. Dolman, a Board Certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon with nearly 20 years of private practice experience, this boutique surgical center delivers the full scope of oral, maxillofacial, and implant procedures with a commitment to compassionate care, surgical precision, and state-of-the-art technology.[1][2][4] Dr. Dolman's journey in oral surgery began with his dental education completed in 1988, followed by a general internship in 1989. He then pursued rigorous residency training at Montreal General Hospital, attending McGill University’s School of Medicine, where he earned a Master’s of Science degree in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in 1993. His career has spanned Montreal, Connecticut, and now New York City, reflecting a dedication to advancing patient outcomes across diverse regions.

One patient noted, 'From consultation to the actual day of surgery, everything was simply world class... the pain, the discomfort, the anxiety was all 0.'[5] Services at Dolman Oral Surgery encompass the complete spectrum of oral and maxillofacial procedures. Wisdom tooth removal is a cornerstone service, with Dr. Dolman expertly evaluating whether extraction is necessary to prevent pain, infection, or future complications, particularly in teenagers and young adults. The practice excels in dental implants, recognized as one of dentistry's most significant innovations in the last 50 years. Dr. Dolman has placed over 1,000 implants using premium systems like Straumann and NobelBiocare, employing custom 3D-generated surgical guides such as STRAUMANN CARES, NobelGuide, or Simplant for precise placement under local anesthesia or IV sedation. Oral pathology services leverage Dr. Dolman's dual training in dentistry, medicine, and surgery to diagnose and treat cysts, tumors, and soft tissue lesions through biopsies, removals, and reconstructions.

I wish I could give Dr. Robert Dolman a hundred stars. I had been suffering for years with my wisdom teeth, and many practices refused to take my case because I have a clotting disorder called APS. Dr. Dolman was the only doctor who didn’t refuse to treat me, and he was very knowledgeable and understanding about my condition. From the moment I went for my consultation, I knew he was the right doctor. I had three wisdom teeth left, and because of my condition, he carefully planned two separate surgeries—first the top and bottom on the right side, and then the bottom left. Both surgeries went extremely well, with no excessive swelling or bleeding, and the healing process was very smooth. Thank you so much, Dr. Dolman. You are truly the best!

I went to Dr.Dolman after reading all his 5 star reviews here, hoping they were true. Even still, I was blown away. I was very afraid of surgery for a wisdom tooth removal, but knew I needed it for many years. At 36, I heard recovery could be more difficult than in the teens and 20s. Well, it was easy in the end! Dr Dolman has the most amazing beside manner and I honestly wish he practiced even more types of medicine as he is one of the best doctors I have ever encountered. Pricing was considerable but actually less than I thought it would be. Overall I would go out of my way to recommend him! I am 4 weeks post removal now and I feel pretty much fully healed at this point with no complications, not even bleeding really even on/ post surgery day, for an impacted top wisdom tooth removal. He gives very detailed recovery instructions and is very responsive via text or email.

I had an accident and needed the rest of my front tooth extracted (a very small piece of the root was left in my jaw), followed by a bone graft. Dr. Ayon performed this procedure and he was really fantastic! I get very nervous from any dental procedure and he was super supportive and kind and helped me to manage my anxiety. I did the procedure with nitrous oxide and that helped greatly. Also, the technician who helped was so kind!! And the staff at the desk! All around great experience. Basically for this type of case they need to open a flap of tissue to get at the piece of the tooth that is left in there. There were a few stitches afterward and everything healed well. I also went in to ask about my healing progress after some weeks and he was very kind to take the time to see me- this was in addition to my two week follow up.

I would highly recommend Dr. Robert Dolman for any oral surgery needs! He was AMAZING! I got 2 of my wisdom teeth removed, and if I’ll ever need to remove the other two I’m definitely going to come back. I was invited to come by the office the day before the surgery for consultation and to discuss what will happen the next day. At the entrance I was greeted by a lovely young lady,and not even a minute later Dr dolman personally came to the waiting area to welcome me, he was very friendly and very professional. I had an X-ray on the spot and after that dr Dolman showed me it,explained what’s going to happen the next day and answered all my other questions. The surgery itself was painless and fast, I was in and out in about an hour. I have received prescriptions for antibiotics, probiotics, pain medication, nausea medication, as well as a small kit for self care for the area of the surgery. In addition I got great papers with well explained information and instructions for self treatment the first days after the procedure. Another thing that I loved about Dr Dolman is the after visit care,I got from the doctor his personal phone number and I was told to feel free to contact him whenever I need to. The thing about Dr dolman is that he actually means it as oppose to other clinic places I have been to before. Dr Dolman answered any question I had,and texted me around every other day to ask me about how do I fell and advise me on any questions I had. If you are in need of an oral surgeon this is the BEST place for outstanding dental care with highly qualified professional staff!

Dr. Dolman was referred to me by my orthodontist. He helped me go through tooth extraction in ease. He is very gentle, caring and responsive. One day post surgery, I already feel no pain, no discomfort. Just way better than I’ve expected.
