Sedation Dentistry for Seniors: Rediscovering Comfort and Confidence at Desert Ridge Dental

As we age, our bodies change, and so too can our dental needs. For many seniors in Albuquerque, the thought of a dental visit can evoke feelings of anxiety, fear, or apprehension. This isn’t uncommon. Years of past experiences, increased dental sensitivity, or the anticipation of lengthy procedures can all contribute to a reluctance to seek necessary oral care. However, …

    Best Dentist Winner 7 Years Running!

    – ThreeBest Rated®
    Dr. Ozzie Rodas
    I'm delighted to share my positive experience with Dr. Rogers. Being a dentist myself, finding top-notch dental care was crucial, especially considering my own dental fears. Despite the irony of needing a tooth extraction, Dr. Rogers made the process painless and swift. His skillful placement of the bone graft and membrane instilled confidence for the future implant. I trust him completely, and I'm confident my final implant will be excellent. I highly recommend this office for anyone in search of a reliable dentist!

    I have been going to Desert Ridge Dental for years, and even started to bring my grandmother. The staff is always very kind. Dr. Rogers and Dr. Mink always do an excellent job. Prior to coming to Desert Ridge my grandmother went elsewhere for her crowns and was unhappy with the service. After seeing Dr. Mink she is confident in her smile and says she can’t tell the difference between her real teeth and the crown. Thank you Desert Ridge Dental!

    Dr. Rogers and his assistant, Danera, made the start of my implant process smooth. I was very nervous but the procedure was not painful and the next day, I felt as if I never had an appointment! I was pain free. I'm happy to return for all my dental work indefinitely. The office is very clean and my hygienist is also wonderful.

    I had dental implants placed and was super nervous because of a horrible experience at another dental place. However when you walk into Desert Ridge all you experience from beginning to end is kindness, compassion and caring individuals. There is absolutely never any judgment EVER. I felt so comfortable from start to finish. Dr. Rogers answers any and all questions and is gentle causing as minimal pain as possible always asking if you are okay. I used to hate going to the dentist but now I absolutely love my dentist and all of his staff. Thank you to the entire team from start to finish!!!
