Dr. Colleen Jenson

For Dr. Colleen Jenson and her team at Grace Dental, dentistry has always been about more than healthy smiles. It’s been about connection, compassion and creating a place where patients feel genuinely cared for.

Inside the doors of Grace Dental, the atmosphere reflects its name. Founded in 2019, the practice was built on the concept of “Grace”—serving others with kindness, gentleness, and sincerity. Every team member, from the front office to the clinical staff, contributes to this environment with their unique skills, personalities and unwavering dedication to patient care.

Dr. Jenson’s path to dentistry has been shaped by both academic excellence and service. After graduating with honors from Oregon Health Sciences University in 1998, she completed a General Practice Residency at the VA Medical Center in Palo Alto, earning national recognition for her work in hospital dentistry. Her career took an unexpected turn in 2004, when she was mobilized with the U.S. Army in support of Operation Iraqi Enduring Freedom. That chapter ultimately brought her to Colorado Springs, where she continues to serve as an active reservist while caring for military members, retirees, and families.

At the heart of Grace Dental is a philosophy of honesty, education, and collaboration. Patients receive thoughtful, straightforward recommendations, and the team works closely with trusted specialists when needed to ensure optimal outcomes. Over the years, the practice has grown not just in size, but in community. Many patients have become friends – some are like family.

Being named a Top Dentist is a meaningful milestone for Dr. Jenson and her staff, but they see it as a reflection of something bigger: the trust of their patients and the dedication of a team committed to doing what is right, every day. Thank you for walking this journey with us.
