Dr Melinda Hall, DDS

Dental care in small towns often means choosing between long drives or settling for less. Carrizozo, though, has its own option right on East Avenue. Dr Melinda Hall, DDS keeps routine check-ups and urgent needs within a few minutes’ walk for most residents. Cleanings, fillings, and preventive exams don’t require a trip to Alamogordo or Ruidoso, which is a quiet convenience for families and anyone keeping an eye on mileage. The office sits at 710 East Ave, a low-slung building just past the post office and across from the old mercantile—easy to spot once you know the block.

Beyond the basics, the practice handles extractions, minor oral surgery, and crowns, so a single phone call can cover most issues that come up between regular visits. Reach them at (575) 648-2317 to schedule or ask about specific treatments. For directions, the map is here: https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x871fd129d276ed91:0x2258b2051899b06d. After years of driving forty minutes each way, having a dentist this close almost feels like a secret.
