Dr. Mario Herrejon-Ruiz, DMD

Dental care in the high desert carries its own rhythm. Appointments often follow the seasons—quiet in early winter, busier when summer visitors arrive. Dr. Mario Herrejon-Ruiz, DMD offers routine and restorative services along NM-75, where the road curves past adobe walls and open fields.

Cleanings, fillings, and extractions are common requests in this part of northern New Mexico. Patients also seek crowns, bridges, and basic oral surgery when needed. The practice sits at 1516 NM-75, Peñasco, NM 87553—just past the old mercantile, where the highway narrows before the village proper. Local families and travelers alike rely on consistent care without the drive to Taos or Santa Fe.

Scheduling an appointment is simple; a call to (575) 587-2809 connects directly to the office. No online booking system complicates the process—just a straightforward conversation about timing and treatment. The approach reflects the area itself: practical, unhurried, and focused on what matters.
