Meet Dr. James Slaman
Dr. Slaman was born and raised in Albuquerque, and still proudly calls it home. He received his dental surgery doctorate from the University of Missouri and has been recognized by his peers as the best dentist in Albuquerque. Dr. Slaman is a proud, three-time recipient of Albuquerque The Magazine's "Top Cosmetic Dentist" award. He regularly donates his time and cosmetic dentistry talents to underprivileged communities throughout New Mexico.
Featured Procedures
Dental Implants
Losing teeth not only affects the function and form of your smile but your overall health as well. Without teeth, the lack of natural tooth roots causes your jawbone to shrink, making your face look sunken and aged. Dental implants, which are strong titanium posts surgically anchored into your jaw, are the only dental care treatment that can not only stop jaw bone atrophy but reverse it.
Implants help keep your jawbone healthy and strong. They're the most secure method of supporting dental restorations like crowns, bridges, and dentures. Dr. Slaman performs all implant surgeries himself in his Albuquerque practice instead of sending our guests to another dentist. Our patients find having surgeries performed by the same extensively educated dentist is both convenient and comforting.
Smile Makeover
Dr. Slaman creates personalized treatments at his Albuquerque cosmetic dentistry office designed to rejuvenate your smile. If extensive restoration is needed, you'll probably need more than one visit to achieve the smile of your dreams. Dr. Slaman may recommend dental procedures such as teeth whitening, veneers, dental bonding, and laser gum contouring, keeping in mind your schedule and budget.
Dr. Slaman is a forward-thinking dentist who is constantly researching the latest technological advances in dentistry. He now uses state-of-the-art cosmetic dental imaging to provide you with a preview of how your new smile will look. This way, you can make educated decisions on how to eventually have one of the most beautiful smiles in Albuquerque.
Dental Crowns
Broken, cracked, decayed, or weakened teeth can make eating, drinking, or speaking painful and difficult. A dental crown can restore the function and form of your compromised teeth and prevent the need for extraction in the future. You may be able to receive your crown during one visit thanks to our in-office CEREC® system, which creates natural-looking dental crowns while you relax in our comfortable Albuquerque, NM, dental office.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
If you wake up gasping for air when you sleep, you could have sleep apnea. Interrupted sleep causes concentration, mood, and overall health to suffer. Your bed partner's health could be disturbed as well. Sleep apnea can lead to serious health problems like depression, hypertension, and heart disease if left untreated.
Can a dentist really help you sleep better? Absolutely. Dr. Slaman can provide you with a custom-made, non-surgical appliance that fits comfortably over your teeth during sleep. It opens your airways to keep oxygen flowing as you breathe.

The staff have always been professional and a pleasure to be around for the hour I spend in the chair twice a year for an exam and cleaning. Anything that required extra attention and follow-up was always expertly addressed and resolved, and the view out the window is relaxing!
