Our Clinical Evaluators





Dr. Aaron Bulleigh, DDS

Dr. Aaron Bulleigh was born and raised in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area. He attended Brigham Young University, where he earned his Bachelor of Science degree, and then attended the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry, where he earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery in 2005.

Dr. Bulleigh has maintained a steady commitment to advancing his clinical skills through continuing education in oral surgery, wisdom tooth extraction, implant placement, orthodontics (braces and clear aligners), and endodontics. He enjoys bringing the most effective techniques and technologies to his patients to ensure they are receiving the most current and best care available. A childhood dental phobia helped shape his approach: he and his team work diligently to recognize patient anxiety and create an atmosphere of relaxation and compassion at Desert Springs Dental Care.

Dr. Michael Cheng began practicing dentistry with Dental Depot in 2002 after finishing dental school. Today, he leads the Dental Depot Edmond office, where he combines clinical experience with a patient-first approach to general dentistry.
