ABQ Dentistry & Wellness

Are you someone who loves helping others feel at ease, supported, and genuinely cared for? Do you thrive in a clinical environment where connection matters just as much as clinical skill? If so, we’d love to welcome you to our team!

Why You’ll Love Working With Us

We believe great dentistry starts with compassion. Our approach centers on whole-patient care - listening, building trust, and creating an experience where patients feel safe, understood, and confident in their smiles.

• Ensure sterilization protocols are followed to the highest standard.
• Take digital x-rays and impressions.
• Document treatment accurately in Open Dental and support charting.
• Help guide patients through their visit with empathy, encouragement, and clear communication.
• Collaborate closely with the doctor and team to deliver exceptional care every step of the way.
