What a great, welcoming and joyful front office. Amy is an amazing hygienist. She was extremely thorough and checked everything, as I have had some issues with some of my teeth. Dr. Collins checked all the x-rays. Asked several questions about my history, sinus issues and was also extremely thorough. Got a clean bill of health. This office is very professional, cheerful and welcoming. I wish I had come here years ago. I thank my daughter, Jana Walker, who used to work there for recommending Desert Hills!

I honestly cannot say enough to express how great this practice is. Every dentist, every hygienist, the office staff...all excellent! They truly prioritize preventative care by taking a proactive aproach in addressing concerns and communicating areas for improvement. In this way, they proritize the patient over profit. Best feedback and communication I have ever received from a dental team! 110% recommend!

Five stars across the board! I lost a crown this morning. I called Desert Hills Dental Care, and not only were they able to see me the same day, they did x-rays, an exam, and replaced my crown for a super reasonable price. Sierra was very sweet and kind, and immediately put me at ease, and Dr. Jacob Collins was very gentle and professional. Best of all, it didn鈥檛 hurt a bit! if you鈥檙e looking for a great and gentle dentist that won鈥檛 rob you blind, and who does quality work, look no further than Desert Hills!

Desert Hills Dental Care is a family dental practice at 2525 East 30th Street in Farmington, New Mexico, serving patients across the Four Corners area. The practice describes itself as one dentist for all of a family's dental care needs, offering general and preventive dentistry, cleanings and exams, emergency care, root canal therapy, tooth-colored fillings, periodontal (gum) treatments, cosmetic dentistry including whitening, veneers, crowns, bridges and Invisalign, tooth extractions, dentures, dental implants, jaw joint (TMJ) disorder treatment, laser frenectomy, and oral appliances for snoring and sleep apnea. According to its website, the practice has been caring for the Farmington community for more than 45 years and its dental hygiene team has more than 50 years of combined experience in preventive and periodontal services.
For patients missing teeth, Desert Hills Dental Care offers dental implants as a permanent tooth replacement option. The practice explains that a titanium implant post is placed in the jawbone and, once it fuses with the bone, supports a custom crown, an implant-supported bridge, or implant-supported dentures for a full arch of missing teeth. Treatment begins with a consultation that uses digital scanners and 3D cone beam imaging to plan placement and to determine whether preparatory steps such as bone grafting or gum therapy are needed. The site notes that the full process typically takes three to twelve months, that sedation alternatives are available for the surgical visit, and that a temporary restoration may be placed during healing so patients are not left without a tooth. The office can be reached at (505) 327-4863 to schedule an implant consultation.
The practice's clinical team includes four dentists. Dr. Charles Schumacher, DDS, earned his dental degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry in 1986 and began practicing in Farmington that year; he holds fellowships from the American College of Dentists, the Academy of General Dentistry, and the Pierre Fauchard Society, is a past president of the New Mexico Dental Association, and focuses on oral appliance treatment for sleep apnea. Dr. Gene Hilton, DDS, is a graduate of the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry and a member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. Dr. Clarissa Burgess, DDS, a New Mexico native, graduated from the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine in 2010, joined Desert Hills Dental Care in 2013, has served as president of the Northwest District Dental Society, and uses laser therapy to treat tongue and lip ties. Dr. Jacob Collins, DDS, grew up in the Four Corners area and is a graduate of the University of Michigan School of Dentistry.
