About Sierra Oral & Facial Surgery

Welcome to Sierra Oral & Facial Surgery, proudly serving the greater Reno area! Our number one goal is to provide exceptional care and ongoing patient support through treatment centered entirely on you and your needs. Our motto is People First: Through Compassion, Comfort, and Expertise —and from the first phone call to post‑treatment follow‑up, our team is committed to exemplifying this promise.

Our practice offers a comprehensive suite of oral and maxillofacial surgical services, including wisdom teeth extraction, dental implants, bone grafting, TMJ disorder treatment, 3D Cone Beam & facial imaging, oral tumor & cancer screenings, and IV sedation dentistry for anxiety‑free procedures.

By joining our clinical team, you will collaborate side‑by‑side with exceptional surgical leadership:

• Dr. Ryan Falke, DDS: Dr. Falke brings a unique, highly specialized background to our practice. He initially earned a degree in computer engineering from Brigham Young University, publishing research in autonomous robotics and working as a network engineer. Pursuing his true passion, he earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Loma Linda University and practiced as a general dentist in Sacramento before completing an intensive Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) residency at Loma Linda—the only Level‑1 trauma center in the Inland Empire—under the tutelage of the renowned Dr. Alan Herford.
• Dr. Falke is proficient in advanced technological methods for wisdom tooth removal, implants, corrective jaw surgery, facial trauma, reconstruction, and facial cosmetics, with published research in bone regeneration and grafting. Outside the clinic, Dr. Falke and his wife enjoy raising their four young children while hiking local mountains, visiting Reno parks, and riding bikes together!

• Multi‑Site Operations: Travel between our local Reno‑area clinics as scheduled to maintain seamless daily patient operations.
• Team Collaboration: Work closely with surgical assistants and doctors during morning huddles to ensure smooth patient care.

What We're Looking For (Qualifications)

• Experience: No prior dental experience required! 1–3 years of customer service experience (retail, hospitality, or administrative) is preferred, but we will fully train the right high‑energy candidate.

• Core Qualities: Dependable, punctual, collaborative mindset, and a genuine desire to learn and grow in healthcare.
