The Best of Sedation Dentistry

You can have a healthy and beautiful smile with amazingly comfortable sedation dentistry. We care for patients with these concerns:

• I’m afraid of needles and shots.
• I’ve had bad experiences before.
• I have not been to the dentist in a long time.
• I always gag when having dental work done.
• I just can’t seem to get numb.
• All my teeth are too far-gone.

If you're letting anxiety keep you from regular, necessary dental treatment, we encourage you to experience the feeling of calm that Sedation Dentistry, or "Sleep Dentistry", brings. Once you've experienced Sedation Dentistry with Dr. Pulley, you'll probably never be afraid to go to the dentist again!

We have many options to suite your individual needs, working together we will choose the option that is best for you:

Oral Sedation (a pill) or Nitrous Oxide ("laughing gas")

• When taking advantage of these services, you will be relaxed just enough to be unaware of the treatment, but conscious enough to answer any questions that we have.

IV (Intravenous) Sedation

• For use with procedures that call for a deeper state of sedation, IV Sedation may be used. Very few other general dentists are qualified to offer IV sedation, as much extra training is required.

Dr. Pulley is proud to bring his expertise to the patients of Desert Foothills Dental.

Mercury-Free Dentistry

We understand your concerns regarding the use of mercury fillings. Accordingly, at our office we only use advanced, new fillings made of tooth-colored materials that contain no metals or mercury, instead of traditional silver fillings.

Filtered Water Purity

We understand your concern about water quality and the importance of keeping you and your family healthy. For this reason, we utilize filtered water lines during our dental procedures. By filtering the water used in dental procedures, we are able to get rid of any substances that may compromise the health of our patients. The safety, health and dental care of patients are our top priorities. This is just another way to show how much we care!

State-of-the-Art Sterilization

Our sterilization procedures meet the Centers for Disease Control guidelines. We heat sterilize all handpieces and instruments after each use. We use disposable gloves, gowns, masks, eye protection and barrier covers at all times. Our patients safety is our top priority.
