Howard N. Rhoads DDS, F.P.F.A., F.I.C.D.

I am Howard N. Rhoads, DDS, a general dentist at Ben Archer Health Center serving Deming, New Mexico. Since graduating from Creighton University in 1978, I have built my career around helping people and treating patients with the same consideration I would want for myself or my family. My work focuses primarily on oral surgery, especially wisdom tooth removal and the repair of sinus openings that can result from tooth extraction. Many of my patients are referred by other doctors and clinics within our health center's network.

My professional background includes 24 years in private practice and fellowship in the Pierre Fouchard Academy. Among the most meaningful experiences of my career was participating in an oral surgery mission to Peru, where I was the only general dentist invited to join a cleft palate team. The opportunity to help people who need care continues to define what I value most about dentistry.
