Dr. Dane Christensen
Dr. Christensen grew up in a small farming community. From a young age, he knew he would be a dentist. His mother gave him the idea during one of his several trips to the dentist as a child. He never felt fearful of his childhood dentist and wanted to replicate those same experiences for others.
While attending BYU in Provo, Utah, Dr. Christensen married his lovely and amazing wife, Denise. They have four adorable girls. As a family, they love spending time together and making each other laugh. Part of his concern for younger patients is due to his concern for his own children. He never wants a child to experience dental pain (or anyone, for that matter). He is always happy to see a child in the office and answer any questions a concerned parent may have.
He attended Marquette University School of Dentistry in Milwaukee, WI until May 2014. Since that time he worked in private practice in the same small, rural area of Washington state he grew up in until March 2017. He and his wife Denise decided to move to the Grand Junction area to be closer to her family.
Dr. Christensen is excited to practice in Fruita. He loves small towns for the slower pace of life they afford. He continues education to provide small-town patients the same quality of care that can be found in big cities. Dr. Christensen’s passion is, you guessed it, teeth, bone, gums, and the entire oral cavity! Learning more about dentistry is what thrills and motivates him. It’s an exciting field and he hopes that you too can be excited about it!
Dr. Scott Lybrook
Dr. Scott Lybrook brings over 30 years of dental experience to the Fruita community. He has specialized in preventive and cosmetic dental care, focusing on helping patients achieve and maintain healthy, beautiful smiles.
He is known for creating a supportive and welcoming environment for all his patients. Beyond his professional accomplishments, he is a father to three grown sons and has had the privilege of working alongside his wife, Dr. Carol Lybrook, throughout his years in dental practice.
Outside the office, he enjoys music, fly fishing, and photography, embracing Colorado’s lifestyle and natural beauty. Originally from Arizona, Dr. Scott is a graduate of Oregon Health Sciences University of Dentistry where he earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree, establishing a strong foundation for his lifelong dedication to dental excellence.
Cara
Office Administration
My journey as a Dental Assistant (EFDA) began with a simple goal—helping people feel comfortable and cared for. I’ve always valued building genuine relationships with patients and making their dental visits as comfortable and stress-free as possible. After more than 10 years in clinical practice, I transitioned into an administrative role within the office, where I continue to positively impact patient experiences and office operations. A Colorado native, I love spending my free time boating, hiking, traveling, and exploring the outdoors with my husband and our two boys. I completed my Dental Assisting program in 2013 and went on to earn my Expanded Functions Dental Assistant (EFDA) certification in 2014.
Jennie
Office Administrative Assistant
I really enjoy meeting new people and the conversations that come; that must be why I’ve spent over 20 years in customer service. Proud mother of two wonderful kids that keep me very busy. In between traveling, spending time with friends and family, you’ll find me in the kitchen trying new dishes and desserts.
Whitney

Whitney is an accomplished dental hygienist with over 20 years’ experience. She is a passionate advocate for oral health and a committed dental professional. She takes a genuine interest in helping her patients achieve and maintain optimal oral well-being.

Katie
Registered Dental Hygienist
Katie grew up in rural Illinois where she graduated from dental hygiene school in 2007. She moved to Colorado in 2011. After meeting her husband in the Vail Valley and spending time in Denver they decided to move close to family in the Grand Valley. She and her husband have a yellow lab mis, Oskar Blues. She spends her free time gardening, cooking, hiking, and camping.
Annie
Registered Dental Hygienist
I’m a proud Fruita native and a dental hygienist with 18 years of experience serving patients throughout the Grand Valley. I love providing gentle, high-quality care while helping patients achieve healthy smiles in a comfortable, welcoming environment.
Outside the office, I enjoy archery hunting, fishing, camping, and spending time in the Colorado outdoors with my husband, Kris, our son, Mason, and our Chocolate Lab, Granby. Much of our free time is spent traveling to support Mason as he competes in wrestling at the national level.
I’ve had the privilege of working with Dr. Lybrook for more than 11 years and am excited to now also be part of the team with Dr. Christensen. I look forward to helping every patient feel comfortable, cared for, and confident in their smile!
