Dr Robert C. Kerschen

I feel so fortunate to be able to help people every day. It is a privilege to help people and improve their oral health. I can sleep well at night knowing my team and I provide a high level of honest dentistry and have fun doing it. We truly enjoy working with our patients and partnering to achieve ideal care. Education and Continuing Education I am originally from Albuquerque and a 1995 graduate of Albuquerque Sandia High School . I attended the University of New Mexico to earn my Bachelor of Science in biology and a Bachelor of Arts in chemistry in 1999. In addition to my education, I also played baseball for the Lobos . While at UNM, I started dating Katie, who would eventually become my wife. We were married in 2000. She grew up in New England and encouraged me to apply to dental school out east. We moved to Boston, where I attended Tufts University School of Dental Medicine and obtained my Doctorate of Dental Medicine. After I completed dental school, we returned to New Mexico and started Albuquerque Advanced Dental Care in 2009. I really enjoy continuing to learn, and believe that continuing education after dental school is crucial to providing patients with optimal care. I have taken more CE than is required every year because I want to be the best dentist I can be. In 2009, I completed an extensive preceptorship in dental implants and bone grafting at the University of Texas , San Antonio.

We also have a three-year-old lab, Maggie. My favorite way to spend my time is with my wife and kids! I truly enjoy attending all my kids’ sports and extracurricular activities. From soccer practice to cheer to basketball, we are always busy after school. I also really enjoy being outdoors and spending time in the mountains. I love skiing and watching my Boston Red Sox. Like everybody else in Albuquerque, I also enjoy going to “The PIT” to watch Lobo basketball games and supporting Lobo sports in general.
