Dr. Craig Christiansen is grateful to have had the opportunity to grow up in Utah, attend college locally and then get accepted to dental school in 1990 to the University of Nebraska College of Dentistry. He was a 'Cornhusker' during the era when the University of Nebraska won three national championships in college football although he will still cheer for BYU or Utah State if they play against Nebraska. He is still a Cornhusker fan, but he bleeds blue. After graduating and becoming a dentist in 1995, Dr. Christiansen moved with his wife, Karine, and young children to Pleasant Grove and lived there for 5 years. The north part of Pleasant Grove is where his maternal ancestors have owned property from the late 1800s until today. He and Karine and their four children moved to Lindon and have lived there since the 'turn of the century' in 2000.
Dr. Christiansen enjoys helping people to have a healthier, stronger, and more attractive smile and he spends a lot of time and energy being very good at being a dentist. He opened his own practice, 'Christiansen Dental' in Orem in 1995 directly after graduating and moving to Utah. He is very interested in all aspects of dentistry and has continued with his studies over the years to remain on the cutting edge of dental technology and skill. His focus areas at this point in his career are primarily in cosmetic dentistry, implant tooth replacement, orthodontics, treatment of TMJ problems, and ceramic tooth restoration. Dr. Christiansen made a decision to practice completely metal free in 1998 and has not used any metal in his restorative dentistry since that time. In this day and age, the dental materials and procedures are so good that it is a privilege and honor to be able to be a dentist and really improve peoples lives by improving their smile and the function of their teeth. He is so thankful that dentistry is not just patching holes and eliminating toothaches any more like days gone by.
A quote from Dr. Christiansen: 'What I am most proud of professionally are the friendships that I have made and the service that I have been able to give to my wonderful patients. I am very blessed because I have a few thousand patients who have become more than just my patientsthey are my friends--and I get to help them and serve them every day at work. I love to be able to make a living and provide for my family while helping and serving wonderful people!'

They are nice people but their practice can be shady. They told me I had 4 cavities. I said I do not have insurance and asked if I could wait a little while to get them filled till I get insurance. They responded you should get them filled now. I felt funny about it and chose not to get the cavities filled. I told my sister about it and she said this same place told her years ago she had lots of cavities she decided to get a second opinion. And she found she had no cavities. I did the same. It has been 2 years and I have been to 2 diffrent dentist and no cavities.

Thank you, thank you! Our family has been coming here for a couple of years now. The entire staff is so friendly. We called with an emergency and some of the staff stayed late to make sure our son was taken care of. We are so grateful and appreciative! They are the best around and actually care about their patients from young to old.

I lost a crown while traveling and Christiansen Dental patched me up. They very graciously made time for my emergency appointment, welcomed me warmly, and were extremely attentive to my every need. The staff is very friendly and professional. Thank you Christiansen Dental! I couldn't have asked for a better dental experience.

Dr. Christiansen and his staff are amazing. They are friendly and very accommodating. They work hard to make me feel comfortable each time I come which is hard with my anxieties. I have received extended visits to cut down the amount of visits for my medical needs. They are just the BEST! (Oh and they have a great kids room.)

Dr. Trevor Lindgren does really solid crown work! I am 60 years old and think most Doctors and Dentists are quacks. This guy is worth the wait.

Best dental office in town! Especially for families. I've been going here with my four boys for over a year now, and I am always so impressed with the efficiency of this office and how they take the time to get to know you and make you feel welcome. The dentists and hygienists are top notch too--I've had a crown done at this office and they did a superb job.

Can't say I love going to the dentist but I really don't mind going to Christiansen Dental. It's as pleasant as it can be staff and dentists are incredible caring and talented.

Very impressed with their service. Outstanding dentistry work. Only improvement would be to upgrade the movie monitors for patients while getting work. A little outdated and small.

The Dentists and Assistants here are very personable and professional. They worked with my wife who had some dental anxiety from past experiences. They helped her overcome her worries very quickly and were super warm from start to finish. Definitely will be going here long term.

Dr Craig Christiansen is an amazing, caring, and proficient dentist. He knows and cares about each of his patients personally, and remembers details like a true friend would. He does REALLY great dental work. His staff are just as awesome and the office is run well and efficiently. The other dentists on his team are great too. I'd recommend them to anyone, and have several times over.
