Dental Marketing in Albuquerque, NM
The Albuquerque dental market is uniquely shaped by the absence of an in-state dental school (workforce imported from Arizona, Colorado, and Texas), Sandia and Kirtland federal employer PPO, and distinct submarkets from the Northeast Heights and Sandia Heights premium corridors through the West Side and Rio Rancho suburban growth, the North Valley historic neighborhoods, and the South Valley working class Hispanic communities. Competitive density is moderate.
Albuquerque's economy is anchored by Sandia National Laboratories (Department of Energy weapons lab, largest single employer in New Mexico), Kirtland Air Force Base and the Air Force Research Laboratory, the University of New Mexico and UNM Health Sciences (including UNM Hospital), Intel's Rio Rancho manufacturing campus, Presbyterian Health Services, and growing film production (Netflix, NBCUniversal production hubs).
