Dr. John Hough

Yucca Valley sits where the Mojave’s open sky meets the San Bernardino foothills, and dental care isn’t always the first thing that comes to mind. Dr. John Hough keeps things simple at 57463 29 Palms Hwy APT 204, a second-floor suite that handles routine cleanings, fillings, and the occasional crown without fuss. The desert light might be harsh, but the basics—exams, X-rays, extractions—are covered under one roof, saving residents a trip down the hill to Palm Springs or Joshua Tree.

Appointments can be booked by calling (760) 365-1811, and the office doesn’t complicate the process. If you’ve ever tried to navigate the 29 Palms Highway’s mix of gas stations and vintage motels, you’ll appreciate a map that actually leads somewhere. Directions are here. No need to overthink it—just another spot where the high desert gets on with what needs doing.
