Dr. Dane is originally from Blunt, SD. After graduating high school, he served in the United States Air Force. This is where he was first introduced to the dental field as a dental laboratory technician. As a laboratory technician for 6 years, he fabricated fixed and removed dental prostheses (crowns, bridges, dentures, etc).
After serving in the Air Force, he graduated with high honor from South Dakota State University with a major in mechanical engineering. Working as an engineer for about 8 years, he decided to apply to dental school and was accepted to the University of Nebraska College of Dentistry, where he graduated with honors in 2007.
Dr. Dane and his wife, Ronda, have been married since 1985. Most of their free time is spent with their children and grandchildren. Their hobbies also include hunting, fishing, camping, scuba diving, and watching movies. You can ask Dr. Dane just about any movie quote and he can tell you which movie it is from!
Laura has been with Dental Solutions since day one! She has worked in almost every area in the office from assisting to the front office. As the daughter of Dr. Dane, she thought about pursuing a career in dentistry, Laura found out that she prefers the management side of dental practice.
She loves the time she gets to spend building relationships with her staff and patients. Laura mostly enjoys training and implementing new systems to provide a better experience for our family of patients.
Laura has been married to her husband Cody, since 2009. They have 2 boys, Avery and Crosby. In their spare time, they enjoy spending time as a family whether its playing catch, watching the Stampede or snuggling up and watching a movie.
Courtney joined our team as a dental assistant. She graduated from Lake Area Technical Institute as an Expanded Functions Dental Assistant and went on to receive her Dental Assisting National Boards (DANB) to become a Certified Dental Assistant. (Its kinda a big deal!) Fun Fact: Courtney actually completed training at Disney University and had an internship there for a summer.
Sara is a Sioux Falls native. She graduated from the University of South Dakota in 2011 with a bachelors degree in dental hygiene. Originally she wanted to be a teacher but stumbled across dental hygiene, which gave her both worlds.
Education is her passion for her patients. She loves to be able to share knowledge and have patients learn how to better care for their oral and overall health. There normally is not a question she cant answer!
Dental Solutions and Dr. Dane are proud to be Sioux Falls Stampedes official dentist since 2016. The Stampede is the premier club in the United States Hockey League, which catapults amateur players into top College programs, boosting many former members in the NHL. Dr. Dane and staff take pride in the oral health of these top athletes.
Dr. Dane and his staff are proud to take part of the Donated Dental Services for South Dakota since 2007. This program assists hundreds of disabled and elderly citizens who have dental needs they are not able to provide for themselves.
