Dr. Rogers and Dr. Mink are native to New Mexico and grew up in the Albuquerque area. They first met in middle school when Dr. Mink invited Dr. Rogers to his 14th birthday party and theyve been friends ever since. Both attended and graduated from Moriarty High School (go Pintos!). After high school Dr. Rogers and Dr. Mink were roommates at Brigham Young University, where they graduated in 2008. After BYU, they finally split ways to further their dental education on opposite sides of the country. In 2016, Dr. Rogers and Dr. Mink reunited at Desert Ridge Dental where they continue to expand their education and provide exceptional care to their community and patients. They are thrilled to be working together again and strive to create the best dental experience possible for their patients!
Dr. Rogers attended the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco, California, where he graduated with honors. Returning to Albuquerque, he completed a residency at UNM, where he received advanced training in dental implants, oral surgery, sedation dentistry and cosmetic dentistry. Since his residency, he has been practicing in the Albuquerque area and in 2015 joined the team at Desert Ridge Dental.
Committed to clinical excellence, Dr. Rogers continues to improve his knowledge and skills to provide the best possible care for his patients. In 2018, Dr. Rogers earned his Fellowship status in The International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI) and in 2022 was admitted to the American Dental Society of Anesthesiology (ADSA) College of Sedation as a Master in Parenteral (IV) Sedation. Both honors recognize his advanced training and commitment to offering high quality, safe and effective treatment in dental implants and sedation care.
Dr. Mink attended dental school at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. While there, Dr. Mink qualified for the Militarys Health Professions Scholarship Program. After graduating dental school, Dr. Mink embarked on 4 years of active duty military service in El Paso, Texas.

This is a great place for people with extreme anxiety around dental care. Just to say that I had traumatic experiences as a six-year-old in the 50s, still haven't got over them. Everybody here made me feel relaxed and okay, I highly recommend it

Dr. Rogers is the best dentist in Albuquerque hands down. I had dental implants placed and was super nervous because of a horrible experience at another dental place. However when you walk into Desert Ridge all you experience from beginning to end is kindness, compassion and caring individuals. There is absolutely never any judgment EVER. I felt so comfortable from start to finish. Dr. Rogers answers any and all questions and is gentle causing as minimal pain as possible always asking if you are okay. I used to hate going to the dentist but now I absolutely love my dentist and all of his staff. Thank you to the entire team from start to finish!!! Crystal

I have extreme anxiety when it comes to dentist from my child hood and avoid going to the dentist. This was by far the best experience I have ever had and this will permanently be my regular dentist.
