Established in 2011.
Neighborhood Smiles in Albuquerque was opened by Dr. Timothy Rauch with the goal of serving the needs of all residents of Albuquerque and surrounding areas with quality, modern dental care. Since quickly becoming the preferred dentist for Ventana Ranch residents, Dr. Rauch has expanded to open a second location on Paseo del Norte in east Albuquerque. Both locations offer early morning and late evening appointments, understanding that the middle of the day isn’t always the most convenient time to take care of your dental needs.

Dr. Rauch received his bachelor of science degree from Brigham Young University after serving in the United States Air Force. He then obtained his DDS from Marquette University School of Dentistry where he received a number of fellowships, scholarships and grants. He was also the president of his graduating Dental Class as well as the Student Body President of the Marquette School of Dentistry. He is certified as a Doctor of Dental Surgery and is a member of both the American Dental Association and the American Association of Dental Research.

“My wife and I strive to give more back to the community than we receive. We have been blessed with a beautiful baby girl and we look forward to watching her grow up in Albuquerque. I’ve worked hard through dental school with one goal in mind – getting to know my patients to serve them as best as I can. I look forward to meeting you.” – Dr. Rauch
