David R. Cooley, DDS, MS
Headache and migraine pain relief and TMJ/TMD dentistry is challenging, fulfilling, and fun. I endeavor to keep current with new technologies, materials, and techniques so that I can provide the best care possible for my patients. I also enjoy working with the young general dentists and other specialists to problem solve and treatment plan for difficult and multidiscipline cases. I am passionate about formulating appropriate treatment plans, which then allows me to provide life-changing care.

Outside the Office
I am a fourth generation South Dakotan, growing up on the family ranch near Springfield. I now reside in Rapid City, moving here in 2003 after retiring from the US Air Force. My wife, Maia, and I have one son, Bryan, and a yellow lab named Benelli. My free time is most often spent gardening, Fairburn (rock) hunting, and bird and big game hunting.
