About Academy Dental Care
Academy Dental Care is a general dental practice located at 6425 Holly Avenue Northeast in the Paseo Nuevo neighborhood of northeast Albuquerque, New Mexico. The practice serves patients throughout the Academy Acres, Paseo Nuevo, and broader Northeast Heights area, providing routine preventive and general dental care.
Preventive care at this office includes comprehensive examinations, professional cleanings, digital X-rays, and fluoride treatments. The hygienist team is a particular strength of this practice: Liz, Debbie, and other members of the hygiene staff have been specifically noted by patients for thorough, effective cleaning technique and for taking time to educate patients about home care habits between visits.
Treatment recommendations at Academy Dental Care are described by patients as clearly explained and non-pressured. Staff explain what is needed and why, and present options without steering patients toward unnecessary additional procedures. This straightforward approach is valued by patients who want accurate information to make their own decisions about care.
Dr. VanLeeuwen leads clinical care and has been noted for thorough diagnostic work, including identifying the underlying cause of a dental issue and developing a treatment plan that addresses it rather than treating only the surface symptom. Emergency appointments and same-day care for urgent needs have been accommodated here.
The Holly Avenue NE location is in a well-established commercial area in northeast Albuquerque, convenient for patients in the Academy, Tramway, and broader Northeast Heights neighborhoods. The office maintains a clean, modern environment and organized intake processes. New patients are welcome for a comprehensive initial exam. The Holly Avenue NE location in Paseo Nuevo is convenient for patients in the adjacent Academy Acres, Tramway, and Sandia Foothills communities, and the practice is within a few minutes of the Paseo del Norte and Tramway intersection area.
For patients who have had previous experiences at practices that felt rushed or where upselling was a concern, this practice’s noted approach of presenting only what is needed, explaining the reasoning, and not applying pressure on elective services may be a meaningful distinguishing factor when choosing a dental home in northeast Albuquerque.

staff was great they care about you and walk you through step by step on everything and Dr. Chelsea Gonzales is a great person even though I was in lots of pain they made my day . Thank you guys for being super great people ❤️
This was a beautiful office and they seemed to provide good care. However, it took two hours to have my teeth cleaned and because they don't accept Delta Dental it cost me $381. My bad for not clarifying before my appointment, but if you have Delta Dental, look somewhere else.
My visit was great. Carrie Jo is quite thorough in each of our visits; a very personable and efficient hygienist.
I had the best time this morning getting my teeth cleaned. This office was amazing. The front desk staff was super nice and my hygienist Monica was amazing. I am so glad I made the switch! Monica made this Monday morning the best ever and did such an amazing job that I will definitely be back to see her again. I only gave five stars because ten was not an option!!!! Great office.
I only leave reviews when I feel genuine gratitude, and this one is so deserved. Dr. Gonzales, owner of the practice, went above and beyond to help me with a difficult crown situation, and the difference in my comfort and quality of life has been incredible. The entire office is warm, compassionate, and professional. You can truly feel how much they care about their patients and the experience they provide. I am deeply grateful for Dr. Gonzales and her amazing team.
Upon entering a visually appealing establishment, you are greeted by a team of attentive and caring front staff members. Then, Dr. Chelsea Gonzales and Dental Hygienist, Carrie were able to address all my inquiries and help me! They take their time and are truly thorough. This was the best exam I’ve ever received!! Very compassionate and knowledgeable. Thank you, ladies!
Exceptional!! Clean clean clean facilities to start. Everyone that I interacted with was so professional so kind so considerate. From the assistant to the doctor, I felt taken care of and wasn’t rushed. I am so glad that I selected your group. Thank you so much.
I always have a great experience at Academy Dental Care! From the moment I walk in, the staff is welcoming, professional, and makes me feel at ease. The office is clean, modern and very well organized. I really appreciate how gentle and thorough the care is. My hygienist is fantastic and makes my visits a very pleasant experience. I highly recommend!
I was actually there today for my semi-annual check-up and it was great. I had my teeth cleaned, x-rays and fluoride and a wonderful visit with Debbie Hill, my dental hygienist. They are very friendly and professional and concerned about your well being. I highly recommend Academy Dental to anyone who is committed to taking fabulous care of their teeth. THIS PLACE ROCKS‼️
Terrific service! Not only are they friendly and encouraging, they are ultimate professionals. Very careful to explain the details and offer options for treatment, without being pushy or upselling. Liz has been taking wonderful care of my teeth for four years now, and has taught me a lot about keeping them in good condition.
