Dental Marketing in Tucson, AZ
The Tucson dental market is shaped by Phoenix-metro dental school workforce placement (ATSU Mesa, Midwestern Glendale), Raytheon and University of Arizona employer PPO, and distinct submarkets from the Catalina Foothills premium through Oro Valley and Marana northwestern suburban growth, the Sabino Canyon east side corridor, and the working class to middle class south side and west side neighborhoods. Competitive density is moderate.
Tucson's economy is anchored by the University of Arizona (including the UA Health Sciences campus and Banner-University Medical Center), Davis-Monthan Air Force Base (home of the A-10 Thunderbolt and the 355th Wing), Raytheon Missiles and Defense (the largest private employer in southern Arizona), healthcare (Tucson Medical Center, Carondelet, Banner), mining (Asarco, Freeport-McMoRan copper operations), and optics and aerospace research.
