About Us

Christiansen Dental started as a dream many years ago as I, Dr. Bart, grew up in northern Wyoming.


I had two Uncles in the dental field; one was an orthodontist in Ogden, UT, and the other a general dentist in Fort Collins, CO. They were lots of fun, and I enjoyed their profession. After I had a front tooth knocked out in 5th grade, I was so impressed and grateful that my uncle could fix my tooth and return my smile; it occurred to me that being a dentist might be something I wanted to be myself.


My uncles gave me lots of encouragement, and I pursued my goal. After much work, I graduated from Creighton University School of Dentistry in 1988. That fall, my wife and I and our oldest son moved to Highlands Ranch, and in the spring of 1990, we opened our office in Centennial Colorado.


My brother James grew up (he is my brother, 21 years and one week younger) watching his really cool big brother and decided he would be a dentist also. James graduated from the University of Colorado School of Dentistry in the spring of 2009. He joined us here in Colorado after four years of practicing in Wyoming.



We invite you into a friendly, fun (for a dental office) environment. We would appreciate the opportunity to be your family’s dental provider.
