What dental services does Sandia Smiles offer?

That includes Delta Dental, Cigna, Aetna, MetLife, Guardian, Humana, United Concordia, Ameritas, and many more. No insurance? You still have affordable options: flexible monthly payment plans, third-party financing through CareCredit, Sunbit, and Cherry, and a discount when you pay by cash. See the full list and details on our insurance and payment options page, or call (505) 792-1585 and we’ll walk you through what fits your budget.
How much do dental implants or All-on-X cost in Albuquerque?
The honest answer is that it depends on your case, so we give you a clear price before anything begins. Cost varies with how many teeth you are replacing, whether you need extractions or bone grafting first, and the materials chosen for your final teeth which is why a single online number would be misleading. After a consultation and any needed imaging, you will get a written treatment plan with exact pricing and when applicable, what your insurance may cover (implants are sometimes partly covered under medical benefits). To keep treatment within reach, we offer financing through CareCredit, Sunbit, and Cherry. Learn more about dental implants and All-on-X or for a personalized estimate call (505) 792-1585.
I am nervous about the dentist do you offer sedation?
Yes. Dr. Marshall offers IV sedation for patients who feel anxious, along with a gentle, unhurried approach the whole team is known for. If past experiences, a strong gag reflex, or simple nerves have kept you away, sedation lets you relax or rest while we take care of everything. Tell us about your concerns when you book and we will plan your visit around your comfort. Meet Dr. Marshall or call (505) 792-1585 to talk through your options before you come in.
Can I get a same-day appointment for tooth pain or a dental emergency?
Often, yes if you are in pain, we do our best to see you the same day, with or without an appointment. Tooth pain, a broken or knocked-out tooth, swelling, or a lost filling shouldn’t wait, so call our Albuquerque team as early in the day as you can at (505) 792-1585 and we will work to get you out of pain fast. New patients can also ask about our current new-patient emergency exam special. Request an emergency visit here.
