Richard Johnson is the only dentist in Green Valley offering laser dentistry for dental implants, gum treatment, oral surgeries, cavity remediation and more. Our Waterlase Dental Laser allows qualifying patients to receive dental surgeries and detailed tooth work in a relaxing experience that allows faster healing and fewer treatment appointments.

Most of our patients experience only mild discomfort; a huge advancement from the old practice of drills and shots that can cause additional pain for days. Full or partial dentures are a pain with the routine of cleaning, maintenance and seemingly constant gum irritation, not to mention the embarrassment when they become loose!
Services
Johnson Dental has been serving the residents of Green Valley and Sahuarita for more than a decade. The office was initially opened by Dr. Richard Johnson. In 2017 Eli Perez joined the staff as hygienist and managing partner. Since then the office has grown with new patients almost every day, doubled in square footage, brought in three additional dentists and 2020 has seen the opening of a new surgical suite.
Dr. Johnson offers comprehensive dental services on Green Valley designed to provide you with convenient, comfortable care. With over 20 years experience, innovative techniques and state of the art equipment, Dr. Johnson can help you achieve the healthy, beautiful smile you have always wanted! Call 520-399-4000 now to schedule an appointment with Dr. Johnson for evaluation of your dental needs.
Lasers have been used in medical procedures and cosmetology for decades because they typically cause significantly less damage to surrounding tissues which can reduce pain and recovery time.

Naturally they would evolve into being used for dentistry and Dr. Johnson is the only dentist in southern Arizona with a WaterLase laser capable of performing extensive dental work such as decay removal, cavity preparation, root canals, smile design, gum and bone surgical procedures and many others.Not only can laser treatments reduce pain and suffering, but they can also save you money.
The first known dentures were worn in the 5th century BC and everyone who has dentures today knows that the technology is three thousand years outdated. What a pain, not only in daily dealing with your dentures, but real, literal pain from loose fitting and sore-inducing appliances that eventually destroy bone!
Young Richard became acutely aware of the pain general dentistry can cause during his first trip to a dentist as a child. Now as a practicing dentist he has been able to take the leadership in southern Arizona by being the very first area dentist to provide laser treatments for a host of dental maladies that would normally require drilling and grinding.

Living in Fairfield CT for the past 40 years I thought that being a commuter suburb of NYC would ensure us of first class professional services using cutting-edge technologies and techniques....but when I recently moved to Green Valley I found out that I was mistaken! Recently, my wife needed minor cosmetic work for a chip in a front tooth and she contacted Johnson Dental based on a web search. She was very pleased with their prompt and professional work, and so she scheduled a routine teeth cleaning with them. After they performed that she was so impressed with them, and since it had been 2 years

Wonderful front office staff, great dental assistant and Dr. Garfield was awesome! I’m fairly new to the area, my crown fell out, called for an appointment yesterday, was given an appointment for today. Was treated excellent from the first phone call, all the way through every step. Unfortunately, my crown can’t go back in, but the Dr, sat and explained everything to me and what my choices were. Then the assistant sat with me with a treatment plan, prices, all my options and answered all my questions. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Have my appointment to start the work I need.

We recently moved to GV and chose Johnson Dental based on all the good reviews. I’ve had two great experiences with them. First with Dr. Garfield who provided an implant. A very smooth and painless process with great assistants each visit. Secondly with Angela who provided a thorough and very professional cleaning. She even sent me a hand written thank you card via snail mail. Much appreciated!

Best experience in a dentist's chair, EVER! I can't recommend Dr. Garfield more. I have had many root canals, and don't normally do well in the chair, this root canal was a breeze in comparison, very happy with the quality of work.

OMG most amazingly friendly Staff and Dr Garfield was so nice went in with broken bridge and previous dentist told me he couldn't make me a temporary. And Dr Garfield made me happy to smile to know I will have a temp till my new bridge comes in. 😁 Looking forward to go get this done. Feels good when the dentist puts you at ease

I visited Johnson Dental for the first time today and I was definitely impressed! Kelly scheduled me immediately within 7 days for my dental needs and was wonderful in person! Her outgoing personality really made a great first and last impression. All the staff I encountered were exceptional in their field and went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and were very professional.
Today my appointment was for Dr Garfield and for the first time ever the dentist spent about 15 or 20 minutes just chatting with me about all subjects including my dental goals and just getting to know a new client
