Meet the Owners: Dr. Travis Watson and Deidra Watson
Travis and Deidra purchased Pinon Hills Dental from Deidra's Father, Harvey Weber in 2011. Our goals as business owners are to honor his legacy by serving our community with integrity and treating our team members and patients with compassion in all things.
We are proud of our team members. They have been hand selected for their technical skills and aptitude for customer service. It takes each one of us to keep this machine in motion. Most of them have been with us for many years. Longevity and consistency are important for continuity of care. We like each other's company and enjoy being here every day. We think you will notice.
It is important to us to be locally and family owned. This allows us to make the best decisions for your care without being dictated to by production goals that are implemented by business owners that are out of state and do not know our patients and their unique needs.
We do our best to stay ahead of the latest trends and advancements in dentistry while still keeping our fees in the midrange.
Whether you are a long standing patient or new to our practice we thank you for trusting us with your dental needs. We know that you have many excellent dentists in the area to choose from and we are humbled that you chose us.

I grew up in western Nebraska and graduated from the University of Nebraska College of Dentistry in 2008. I've been married to Deidra since 2001 and I have two sons.
I love: golfing, traveling, watching the Huskers and the Broncos, dark chocolate, and ketchup (not together).
I dislike: inconsiderate people, stepping in water in socks, and being late.
You may not know that: I call my mom almost every day. I am very competitive and love to earn trophies. I am a practical joker and am quite good at juggling.

Deidra WatsonOffice Manager
I grew up in the dental office. My father is Dr. Harvey Weber. I started out as a child licking stamps and folding letters and then began doing more advanced clerical work. By the time I was a teenager I was working in the lab pouring up models. I received a Bachelor’s of Dental Hygiene from the University of Nebraska in 2002 and worked for six years in that profession while putting my husband through dental school. At the same time, I went to night school for my Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling. We moved to Farmington in 2008. My husband, Dr. Travis Watson, and I purchased the practice from my dad in 2011. All the years I’ve spent in the office and my experience as a hygienist working in different offices and even the University setting has really helped me to understand the ins and outs of a dental practice and I enjoy the challenges of owning a business.
I love: my two sons, epiphanies, a good nap, Netflix, Indian food.
I dislike: being hot, waking up early, bake chocolate desserts, giving bad news.
You may not know that I: play the piano and participate in Fantasy Football.
