Uptown Dental is a hidden gem! Nice offices and rooms. Staff at all levels are professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. No one shamed me for not going to the dentist for 4 years. Treatments were painless. Streamlined billing process was done in minutes, including the insurance considerations. I can't recommend them more highly!

What a great 1st visit. I'm new to the area, and even upon calling staff was very friendly. When I arrived staff greeted me and I was taking back shortly after. I had a cleaning done by Kelly who was also friendly and listened to my concerns. Then I met with the Dr, again friendly. Professional and relaxing environment all around. So glad I found this place.

Maya was my hygienist today, and she was professional, gentle and knowledgeable. I had not been for a check up and cleaning since 2020, so was a little nervous. Dr. Martinez was also efficient and thorough through the last final phase of my cleaning. Overall I recommend this dental clinic in Albuquerque! Always a good experience.

I’ve been going to uptown for about 10 years now and I always feel like a valued patient! Recently I opted to get Invisalign and can’t be happier with the level of effort they take to make sure the results are perfect. The techs and my dentist have taken the time to address my concerns and answer my questions- I always leave feeling confident that I’m getting the best service Thank you Uptown dental Associates! I won’t go anywhere else!
