Desert Ridge Dental is simply wonderful. I have gum issues and require more frequent cleanings and care. So, for the most part, my interactions revolve around dental hygienist visits/cleanings. Most of my dentist visits with the Dentist are super quick and basic. Over the years, I have felt like it can be very challenging to locate a great dental hygienist. Don't get me wrong, the reception staff are wonderful, and the Dentists are top notch, but what keeps me coming back is my hygienist. If your story is the same, boy have I got good news for you. Dillon is simply outstanding. I actually prefer him to most of my family members. He is thorough, gentle, and also has a smile on his face. I literally drive 30 mins just for their services, they are just plain excellent. read more

I've been a customer of Desert Ridge Dental for almost 2 years now I am very satisfied with the exquisite dental care that I received there. I would like to call special attention to my dental hygienist Jolene. We have developed a fantastic plan to get me all the dental care I really need. I'm almost 60 years old and want to keep my teeth for the rest of my life, thank you Desert Ridge Dental be well. read more

The dental assistant was very pleasant to talk to and was professional and helpful with information about tooth care.

Walking in I was running late luckily it wasn't too late and they didn't cancel my appointment. Thanks for understanding, it really goes a long way for me. I know my last review of Desert Ridge Dental wasn't stellar and I apologize for having left it. Everyone who knows me knows I really dislike leaving a negative review but things happen and sometimes you just gotta be honest and share your feedback on where there's need for improvement at a business in order to help them grow. It is never my intention beyond that. I love all the businesses I visit and want them to succeed. Anyways back to the bass tax. This visit went super smooth. I got my hygienist Jolene back again and she took care of me and my teeth from start to finish. One thing I admire and truly appreciate is the fact that she keeps excellent notes and records of each visit going above and beyond to review them with me on the differences and progress from the previous visits as well as sharing valuable information on where to improve my oral hygiene based off her assessment. She always makes sure that I'm comfortable during the entire cleaning, you can tell she's passionate in what she does. The staff at the office was very friendly and compared to my last visit there was much improvement. Keep up the great work guys. See you again for my next visit! read more

See all

Friendly staff, high quality care, fast service, and great environment. Highly recommended!

I have cerebral palsy and I grind my teeth. When I went to Desert Ridge Dental, they fitted me for a mouthpiece that was perfect. Helen and the team are amazing and took the time to explain everything to me. read more

Christina the dental hygienist was great. She did a thorough job and ensured I was comfortable. The appointment was on time no delays. She set up the next appointment. All around great customer service!!! Thank you read more

Usually, you are afraid to go to the dentist. But Desert Ridge Dental makes it super easy! The staff are friendly, approachable, and very understanding of all of the questions asked. read more

Desk clerk who sits by the window: must think she's still in HS, laughing at me behind the monitor as she slyly looks at her coworker. (Yeah, I saw you) WE had money in an account in my husband's name & she's asking me if I'd like to pay MORE $$. (YES, he is my husband & takes good care of me) She Sent me a text about that a few days before as well. I declined. Jordan: Unprofessional in behavior. Out loud as if to embarrass or humiliate me," Do you brush your teeth at all?" Just what I want coming to a doctor's office! Being belittled by dental hygienist! It's obvious these females, WHO WORK WITH THE PUBLIC ,really "think" it's ok to treat ppl who are different like they are less. SAD. I guess they are doing so well at this place that they feel their rude stereotypical behavior is ok. read more

LONG REVIEW BUT WORTH THE READ!!! 1 year ago, when I walked in with my husband at the door, Beverly, the treatment coordinator sweetly invited me back for X-rays and photos after which Dr. Rodgers came in "stealthily" to do exam. He was super gentle, and very encouraging! I'm looking forward to getting my treatment done in the future as this visit was emergency based! They also reassured me that if anything were to happen before the procedure, not to panic. Though I have a bit of a treatment plan ahead I'm actually excited about the idea of getting all my treatments done here, as nitrous is available for all future follow ups. The medication they gave me should also help me feeling better before surgery. Thank you so very much Beverly and Dr. Rodgers. My husband was even impressed with the service ;-). Fast forward to yesterday, a year later, due to insurance problems, I finally got my procedure done and I'm so relieved that it was the smoothest I've ever experienced anesthesia. Even though I left the pre-medication at home, after I used the restroom, Danara "D" escorted me back and connected me to the machines, as I had chosen IV sedation. As soon as Dr. Rogers got the IV in, he gave me a medication to relax me, a common side effect of which erases memory. I woke up just before the procedure was finished as Cristina was close to finishing my cleaning. She was sweet and gave me more local anesthesia to keep me comfortable. I know I was talking to her but don't remember the conversation! And Beverly kept checking in on me. What's even better? I no longer have to hide my smile and I'm so grateful for all the care and support! They even called me back today to check up on me. Run, don't walk to this office if you want quality care at reasonable prices! read more

Dr. Roger's and his staff are thee best! Got my appt in sooner and the atmosphere of the office is so zen you'll feel like you're in a spa environment! The expertise and efficiency of Dr Roger's is beyond excellent! Thank you for your non judgement and care! read more

I would give 10 stars if I could. The staff is caring and compassionate. Dr Mink explains all options and is honest. That combination takes the anxiety away making for a much nicer experience. read more

The entire staff is pleasant and easy to talk to. In giving diagnosis they are detailed and knowledgeable. My teeth have never been better, thanks to the care I receive at Desert Ridge Dental. My dentist keeps track of the work he did when I initially went in with a MAJOR toothache/cavity. And he's HOT too!!! read more

Superior patient care today (6/16/2022) at Desert Ridge Dental in northwest Albuqerque NM. I had a scheduled appointment this morning to have a temporary dental crown replaced with a permanent one. Thanks to Ms. Kayla (Front Desk), Ms. Sara (Dental Technician) and Dr. Mink for providing an AWESOME patient care experience! Each Staffer showed (me) genuine concern and interest in my treatment! I'm a retired USAF healthcare technician and ALL of my patient care 'boxes' were checked-off to my satisfaction! This dental office is comfortable, Staff is professional, highly skilled and motivated and they really DO care from beginning to the end of the appointment. Special thanks, again, to my Dental Technician today, Ms. Sara! Your professional skillset and comforting, caring personality should be boxed and marketed to the (dental) Industry as Standard of Care! I appreciate you ALL! Five Stars! read more

I recently had two crowns and a filling replaced by Dr Ming. Prior to arriving I was anxious about the procedure and the time I would be sitting in the dental chair. Dr Ming and his assistant put me at ease by keeping me informed at each step and before I knew it was all behind me. The TV screen above me really helped to keep me distracted too, such a simple and brilliant idea. The facilities are state of the art and the staff are all friendly and knowledgeable, it is apparent that they enjoy coming to work. I feel fortunate to have found them and trust that my dental needs are well taken care of. read more

After my dentist if many years retired I was referred to this most wonderful dentist. Each member of the organization is top notch, patient, professional and so nice. The facility is sparkling down to the neat-o rhinestone tops the office crew wears with the Desert Ridge logo Finding an amazing provider is worth its weight in gold and after a work insurance change, I even went out of my way to change my dental insurance plan just to maintain my ability to stay with Desert Ridge Dental, yeah, that good read more

I began my journey with Dr Jacob 6 months ago. I have not regretted one thing! I got lower implant done. It was exactly how he said it would be step by step! Very upfront great dentist. I have had no problems! He is very patient and dealt with my crazy fears.. He did amazing at designing them! They are beautiful! I can eat things I haven't got to eat in a long time! I definitely recommend him for any dental work! Just a very nice person and great dentist. read more

Update: March 2021 - My dad is currently in treatment with Dr. Rogers. It has been an incredible journey of replacing missing teeth, improving the health of his gums, straightening his smile, and teeth whitening. This has improved the way my dad lives his day-to-day life. Dr. Rogers has changed his life for the better by improving his confidence tremendously and allowing him to eat the foods he hasn't been able to eat in years. We did some research for dentists in Albuquerque, and we chose Desert Ridge Dental for the countless amazing 5-star reviews and multiple word of mouth referrals. Dr. Rogers has phenomenal bedside manner and he truly cares about the health and well-being of his patients. Everyone who works there is attentive, professional and kind. I highly recommend Desert Ridge Dental and Dr. Rogers! Thank you! read more

My family has been coming here for years. The staff is kind, caring and flexible. The location ia modern and is conveniently located for those in Paradise Hills and Ventana. read more

Really great experience here. They all work with me so well. Coming from needing to find a new dentist when I moved back I was hesitant and needed some serious work for a filling as well as I have high anxiety with dentist due to previous experiences and they have helped me so much with what I needed. I appreciate their patience with me. read more

Truly outstanding dental care ...from every aspect. Could not be more pleased with this team of professionals... From the moment you walk in the door ..you are made to feel comfortable. i highly recommend Dr. Rogers... his skills and knowledge are impressive. Each and every one of his wonderful staff are extremely dedicated and delightful to work with. read more

They refused my son service solely because I said over the phone that he was disabled. They never even saw him in person. Just a flat refusal. I pleaded with the girl who "asked the doctor and he said no" to please let me speak with the doctor directly to explain the situation and was told, "I don't make the rules". They are ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!!! THEY DO NOT WANT TO HELP PEOPLE!!! Shame, shame shame on Dr. Rodgers and Desert Ridge Dental. read more

I have a bunch of veneers and Drs Mink and Rogers have kept them in top shape. Their staff are professional and friendly!

Everyone there is helpful and nice! They have all the modern equipment and are also reasonably priced although they accept a lot of insurance. read more

Get to appointment and they tell me you are out of network and the cost will be much more I gave them my info a week ago never told me the high cost . I took off work for this appointment just had to walk out nice staff but they dropped the ball read more

Great staff, from the office staff to the hygienists, to the dental assistants they are kind, professional, and focused on providing excellent care. Both dentists, Dr. Rogers and Dr. Mink, truly care about their patients and are honest about treatment options. A year ago I had another dentist tell me I needed 3 cavities filled and Dr. Roger's said they weren't bad, that we could just keep an eye on them. Today was a year later and I still don't need those cavities filled. I think some dentists try to upsale you to make more money, deseret ridge dental doesn't do that. Great experience here everytime read more

Jolene, the dental hygienist, did such a thorough job and she was very nice and personable!

First time here, so I ended up doing my initial x-rays and exam plus a cleaning. My appointment started right on time when I was called into the waiting room from the parking lot where I was waiting due to COVID. Everything went smoothly and quickly with no problems. The staff and Dr. Rogers were friendly and professional, the office was clean and tidy and all the equipment looked to be in good shape. First visit was pretty good, so while I can't say I'm looking forward to a dental visit, I can say I'm not dreading the next one! read more

I have been a patient at this business for almost five years. Overall my experience's have been positive however they changed their hours a year or so ago where their latest appointment is at 4pm. I have to book my appointments out 7 months in advance to get a 4 pm appointment. I have been scheduled for my next cleaning for six months and just received a call saying they need to reschedule my appointment. The next 4pm appointment available was July (6 months from now)! I spoke with the office manager (who was not at all helpful) about needing a 4pm appointment because I work in a hospital and have patients scheduled on my own schedule. She was completely unwilling to offer a reasonable solution so I have decided to switch dentists and not deal with the lack of patient care at Desert Ridge Dental. It's a shame too because the dentists are great and the facility is clean but if you don't take care of your patients/customers, you don't deserve them. read more

I been going to Desert Ridge dental since they opened! They are very professional and Cristina is very good and really excels at her people's skills. I highly recommend this office. Great Job Ok read more

Love Desert Ridge Dental, Dr. Rogers and all the staff I've encountered. I feel very safe entering their offices. They're taking great care to keep everyone healthy. And I feel very good that they are taking the best care of my teeth! They are always very thorough with their care, cleaning and all dental procedures. I highly recommend them! read more

My third visit to Desert Ridge was a emergency as I had broken a molar which had to be removed. They fit me into their busy schedule and a hour later I was my way home. The surgery was painless and I was kept comfortable the process. As with my two previous visits I was impressed with their friendly staff and the doctors are the best hands down! read more

Think of your fondest memory at the dentist... Wait, you don't have one?! I guess that's not terribly surprising if you haven't been to Desert Ridge Dental. Picture, if you will, a brightly lit sitting area with your favorite G-rated Netflix movie playing and freshly baked cookies made just for you. You're greeted warmly at the front desk, and don't have to wait but a few minutes before you get to go back. Dental assistants, hygienists and the Docs are all very friendly and professional, and their state-of-the-art facilities are just as great. Not enough to persuade you to visit them? How about their skills, then... serious attention to detail, very experienced staff (ask for Julie - she's the best), and they don't try to sell you every single cosmetic service they provide. If you're looking for a new dentist - I highly recommend them. read more

I had excellent dental service every time I went in and the dentist, hygienists and staff walked me th through every step. They are all very caring. Desert Ridge Dental is a great place to get your dental care!! read more

Absolutely amazing. The staff here is super friendly and they provide amazing service and treatment. There really isn't much else to say! Pros: Very nice office, friendly staff, great service and treatment. Cons: None! read more

This staff melts my heart! I had the unfortunate need for a root canal that required intravenous anesthesia and this was the only dental office that accepted my insurance within two cities that performed this type of procedure. I love their new age equipment! They take x-rays right there in the same chair. Their rooms are really calming with blue tranquility paint and they also play your favorite music or movies for you during your work and waiting time. As a very un-dentist like move, they also serve Otis Spunk Meyer chocolate chip cookies in the waiting room! I know I genuinely enjoyed this staff because as I was coming out of anesthesia, my husband said that I kept telling him how nice they were and how great they were. He quoted me saying, "Seriously, they are just the NICEST people!" Over and over again, lol! The doctor is genuine and kind, he's also very patience with a patient's pain and concerns. Never felt uncomfortable once, and I come with an immense fear of the dentist (hence the intravenous anesthesia). My only complaint is how far away they are to me! I wish they were closer to the NE Heights, but they're way over on Universe. If they were closer and more convenient, I would--without hesitation--change dentists immediately. read more

Love getting my teeth cleaned! Cristina is the best!!! Highly recommend Desert Ridge to anyone...

I am blessed to have this wonderful dentist right by my house. Staff is always so very nice and caring.

I have been going here for some years and have always had a wonderful experience. I know dentists can be scary but this place is friendly, caring, and makes you feel safe. You are in great hands here! Well, your teeth will be :) Edit: I had to change my rating as the last few times I've had to reschedule my appointment due to work conflict. I always call at least the day before. This last time I was informed they won't schedule me anymore because I have rescheduled three times in the last year. Still think the dentist is great but I'll be finding a new one closer to me. I only drove 30 mins to him because I loved the staff. read more

I have been going to this practice for a few years. I was happy with the service until recently when I went in to my scheduled appt and I was told it was canceled, because I didn't confirm my appt. This must be a new policy because this hasn't happened before. I explained to the receptionist that I took off work. I also explained how I have been working 11 hr days due to short-staffing at my office. But she made it sound like it was my fault that the appt was canceled. I am very disappointed with this policy. I will going to a different office read more
