ABQ Gentle Dentistry, LLC

ABQ Gentle Dentistry, LLC is a dental practice focused on sedation dentistry, located at Suite 101, 4550 Eubank Boulevard Northeast, in the Lagrima De Oro neighborhood of northeast Albuquerque, New Mexico. The practice is led by Dr. Lafferty and is designed specifically to serve patients who experience dental anxiety, phobia, or strong discomfort in conventional dental settings.

Sedation dentistry is the defining service at this practice. Options can range from nitrous oxide to oral or IV sedation, allowing patients to complete treatment in a managed, comfortable state. This approach is particularly valuable for patients with deep-seated needle phobia, low pain tolerance, significant dental anxiety, or complex restorative needs that are more effectively addressed under sedation. Patients traveling from outside the Albuquerque area have specifically visited this practice for its sedation options.

Beyond sedation, the practice handles a full range of dental procedures. Extractions and crown placements are performed here, and Dr. Lafferty is noted for precise, careful work on restorations including front tooth crowns where exact fit and appearance matter significantly. Routine cleanings are also provided, with hygienist Leah receiving specific mention for thorough and skilled technique.

Patients who have had traumatic dental experiences elsewhere have reported a different experience at ABQ Gentle Dentistry, with staff described as accommodating and understanding toward anxiety-related concerns. Same-day urgent appointments have been arranged for patients in acute pain.

The Eubank Boulevard NE location in northeast Albuquerque is accessible by car and serves patients from the Lagrima De Oro, Four Hills, and east Albuquerque neighborhoods. Patients willing to travel from Albuquerque’s East Mountains, Tijeras, or Rio Rancho area have found the sedation option at this practice worth the additional distance compared to closer dental offices that do not offer comparable sedation services.

For patients who are establishing care after years of avoiding dental treatment, ABQ Gentle Dentistry represents a practice with staff who report understanding and working within anxiety-related limitations rather than expecting patients to simply push through discomfort.
