About Cottonwood Smiles Dentistry
Cottonwood Smiles Dentistry is a general dental practice located at 3400 New Mexico 528 NW, Suite A-107, in the Cottonwood area of northwest Albuquerque, New Mexico. The office sits within a commercial complex along NM-528, a main corridor serving the northwest Albuquerque and Rio Rancho communities in the 87114 zip code.
The practice provides general dentistry services, which form the core of routine oral care for patients of all ages. Preventive appointments—including professional dental cleanings, comprehensive oral exams, and diagnostic X-rays—are the baseline for catching dental issues early and maintaining healthy teeth and gums over the long term. These visits also allow the dentist to monitor changes in gum health and bone levels over successive appointments.
General dentistry also covers restorative work such as fillings to address decay, crowns to restore damaged or weakened teeth, and extractions when tooth preservation is not possible. Patients experiencing discomfort or a dental concern can call the practice to inquire about available appointment times and the range of services offered on-site.
First-time patients typically undergo a thorough initial examination that reviews their dental history, current oral health status, and any immediate concerns. This baseline visit helps establish an ongoing care plan suited to each patient’s needs and allows the provider to document existing restorations for future comparison.
The NM-528 corridor in northwest Albuquerque connects directly to Rio Rancho, making Cottonwood Smiles Dentistry convenient for patients on both sides of the Bernalillo-Sandoval county line. Nearby neighborhoods include Ventana Ranch, Paradise Hills, and areas along Coors Boulevard NW. Several residential developments have expanded in this corridor over the past decade, increasing local demand for dental care.
Patients new to any dental practice are encouraged to bring a list of current medications and any known medical conditions to their first appointment. Certain medications and health conditions—including blood thinners, diabetes, and heart conditions—can affect dental treatment planning, so this information helps the dentist deliver safe, appropriate care.
Patients considering a visit are encouraged to contact the practice directly to confirm current hours, accepted insurance plans, and appointment availability. The office’s contact details are included on its Smyleee profile for new patient inquiries in northwest Albuquerque.

Best dental office in the state of New Mexico, possibly on the Western Seaboard!
Honestly the best dentist facility I’ve been to since my original dentist retired. From the moment I walked in, til I left everyone made me feel like family. It was a great experience from Kayla to Marissa to Mateo to Dr.J. Very honest and transparent. Great place and highly recommend!
I’d like to thank Marissa (DA), Dr. J, Mateo (Hyg), Kayla (HCC), and Jessica (OM) for taking care of me during my visit. They were the kindest, nonjudgmental staff I’ve ever met. Highly recommend this place.
I got a regular teeth cleaning last week. The staff treats you so well here at this location. My visits are always pleasant and for the most part on time.
The dentist has performed 2 same day crowns on me and did great! Mateo was my hygienist today and he was awesome too! The whole staff is amazing! I highly recommend Cottonwood Smiles!
10/10 would recommend. I went in because I was told I needed a root canal. I had a hard time finding any place that would do payment plans but once I got to Cottonwood Smiles I had no idea what great people awaited me. Dr. j was super knowledgeable and kind. She gave me tips and tricks to help with my dental hygiene that no dentist has told me about before. Marissa and Keyla showed so much empathy towards me and my plight of horrible teeth. When I was faced with the cost of fixing multiple teeth I was so disheartened. Until they worked out a special payment plan that works for me! I couldn’t believe it! A dental office that ACTUALLY cares!! They did everything they could to give me a payment plan that’s doable I almost cried tears of joy. They are so attentive and kind and empathetic here, I won’t be going anywhere else ever again!
Just received a root canal from Dr. Le and her assistant, Vianca, and am completely satisfied with the results. They listened to my concerns and addressed them all with professionalism. I highly recommend them.
6 out of 5 stars! hands down best dentist. Dr J dropped some very specific knowledge that was very helpful and alleviated a lot of worry. Hygients were attentive and downright cool, receptionist is the most empathetic front desk worker I've ever met.
The receptionist and technician ( x-ray personnel) were very nice and friendly. However, we were not impressed with a female hygienist (or dentist?) there. We went in for a consultation on a temporary solution for a broken denture. The person did not explain or discuss why a temporary solution wasn't an option or cost effective. Instead, we were only offered one option, which was to get a very expensive brand new denture ( while a similar brand new denture would cost 1/3 of a quoted price in another country where the patient lives and will return to in a month as informed to her and the clinic). We decided not to get the service and ordered a denture glue from Amazon. It worked perfectly and fortunately we saved almost $900!!! In addition to the above, we found that this hygienist/dentist's demeanor was neither friendly or welcoming. My family and I were regular clients at this clinic for several years while Dr. King (former owner) was there before we went overseas with the State Department. I was hoping to have my family return to the clinic; however and unfortunately, because of the experience, we will not return. There are many other good dentists around with a better service.
