Dr. Chad Jensen
Dentist
Dr. Chad Jensen graduated from Indiana University School of Dentistry in 2001. His General Practice Residency with the Veterans Administration at McClellen Airforce Base provided practical knowledge of dentistry. In July of 2002 he joined the Colfax Dental Center, and has enjoyed providing excellent dental care to residents in Colfax and surrounding communities.
Nestled in the beautiful sierra foothills, Dr. Jensen and his wife Deborah feel they could not have found a more suitable location for raising their two children.
Some of Dr. Jensen's favorite hobbies are mountain biking, snowboarding, four wheeling and running.
Dr. Justin Diederichs
Dentist
Dr. Justin Diederichs graduated from Loma Linda University School of Dentistry in 2011. After settling in the foothills and practicing in Auburn for seven years, he moved to Colfax Dental Center, taking over for the retiring Dr. Zendner. He plans to continue providing the same quality, caring dental services for the residents of Colfax that they are used to receiving.
Dr. Diederichs lives in Meadow Vista with his wife Kara, and their three children. They stay busy with running their kids to and from, and coaching their various sports. When he gets a minute to himself Dr. Diederichs usually splits his time between projects around the house, the golf course, and the lake once the weather gets warm enough.
Dr. Diederichs has continued his education, and has taken courses on the placement and restoration of dental implants and root canal treatment, as well as staying up on the latest advances in materials and technology. He is excited to be able to take care of the wonderful people of a community that has been such a blessing to him and his family.
Mary
Registered Dental Hygienist
Hi my name is Mary, and I am a Registered Dental Hygienist. I've had the great privilege to call Colfax Dental Center my work home since 1994. We have the greatest patients, the best dentists and staff. It is a joy to spend Monday-Thursday with my work family. My husband Randy, and I have called Auburn home for over 40 years. We are living in our forever home located close to Old Town which Randy designed and built. Over these years we have had a blast raising our three great children Jennifer, Brandon and Jonathon, and now we are thrilled to be grandparents! In my spare time, I love to dance, workout, hike and be creative in my beautiful yard. Hope to see you at Colfax Dental Center!
Tanya
Registered Dental Assistant
Hi, I'm Tanya! I started as a Registered Dental Assistant in 1999, and started at Colfax Dental Center in 2007. It was an easy transition because I was already a patient since childhood. I was raised in Colfax, but attended college in Toronto, Ontario, and Sacramento. The loves of my life are my son Mason and my golden retriever Pluto. During my free time I enjoy all things outdoors like: working in my yard, music, spending time with friends and family and volunteering. I love working at Colfax Dental because we have amazing patients and staff!
