Biography
Dr. Tyler Saunders was born and raised in Mesa, AZ. He has 5 older brothers and 1 sister. All of which graduated from ASU. Dr. Saunders graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelors of Science degree in Applied Biological Sciences. He then attended the highly esteemed Oregon Health and Science University School of Dentistry in Portland. He graduated #6 in his class with highest academic and clinical honors. After dental school his family moved to Gilbert, AZ and has been in private practice here in the valley ever since. Dr. Saunders has been fortunate to work in several different types of private practices which has allowed him to excel at a variety of specialty skills. He has extensive experience with CEREC (same day porcelain crowns, onlays and veneers). Through this technology crowns are designed in front of our patients on the computer. The crown is then made in the office and cemented the same day. No more having to go home with a temporary crown and coming back for a second appointment in 3 weeks to cement the final crown. He loves working with anxious patients because his calming demeanor allows them to feel safe and comfortable. He also takes great pride in giving painless injections. He is a member of the Arizona Dental Association, the American Dental Association, and takes as many continuing education classes as he can to learn new skills. Dr. Saunders and his wife Lisa have been married for almost 8 years now and were high school sweethearts. They have three amazing kids, Weston (5), Ashlyn (3) and Emma (1). Dr. Saunders loves being with his family and playing with his kids. He also enjoys playing tennis, volleyball, golf, basketball, softball/baseball and pretty much any other sport. His family is very active in their church and are always looking for opportunities to serve in their community. One of Dr. Saunders’s favorite trips was a dental service mission to Guatemala where he provided free dentistry and education to the people in several small villages.

I have been going to Dr. Tyler Saunders and Ocotillo Trails for many years now and I have had nothing but exceptional treatment. My family and kids have had fillings and crowns and we all have had great experiences- even the little ones have said they didn't feel any pain during their fillings. Dr. Saunders is very gentle with the shots and does beautiful fillings and crowns. Best of all he is honest and he spends time with us making sure we know what the plan is to fix our teeth. I tell everyone about how wonderful my dentist and his office is.
