Skill and compassion go hand in hand when providing exceptional patient care. As a dental professional, I stay up to date on the latest advancements in dentistry in order to provide the most current treatment options for my patients. As a doctor, I recognize that my patients are unique individuals who have placed a great deal of trust in myself and my team.That is just one of many reasons why I value each and every patient relationship.
Dr. Owens strives to forge long-term oral health relationships; his comfortable manner and warm nature eases patient anxiety, even in the greatest of dentophobes! He takes the time to truly listen to patient needs and concerns while conveying treatment options that are easily understood.

Kathy is a veteran dental assistant and absolutely one of the best! She began assisting nearly 40 years ago with Dr. Carl Johnson. Even though he retired in 2011, she has remained with the practice ever since. She is truly our right hand man!
Kathy studied at Northeastern University in Boston, MA before relocating to Durango to raise her family. There is nothing dental she doesnt know. Staff and patients alike appreciate her knowledge, energy and dedication. Kathy knows each patient by name and watches generations of families grow along with the dental practice.
Out of the office, Kathy is grandma extraordinaire! From soccer games to bridal showers, she doesnt miss it. She values time spent with her daughters, Kasey and Kellie, and her 5 grandchildren ages 10-26. She may still put up with Durango winters but only after a welcome, and well deserved, Jamaican vacation!

Her subsequent work experience in rural public health, expanded functions restorative care and traditional private practice established a broad treatment base for patients of all ages and stages. She joined the hygiene team at Animas Dental Associates in August 2018, shortly after returning to Durango, and we couldnt be happier she did.

I, like many, have always been afraid of the dentist. Animas Dental's entire staff do a great job at putting me at ease and take amazing care of my teeth. From walking in to leaving, the experience is comfortable and I am not afraid to have all of my dental care performed there! Dr. Owens is kind and caring and car fully explains everything he does, making sure I am comfortable while he fixes my mouth.

I've been going to Animas Dental for years. When I first started with them my dental health was awful. Courtney and Dr. Owens met me where I was and helped me get to a healthy place. They are both gentle, caring, and take great care of their patients!

The staff at Animas Dental is understanding, considerate and kind. They take time to listen and understand their patients. They are patient and take the time to explain and educate their patients. Dr Owens is equally kind, patient, understanding and takes time to listen. They are the absolute best with children. They meet kids where they are and provide education at their level of understanding. They are personable and I highly recommend this dental group. The way the injections are animated before procedures are the least uncomfortable I have experienced in dental care. These oral injections are nearly pain free.
