LAUREN ROYSTER – HYGIENIST

I truly love what I do—helping people feel comfortable, cared for, and confident in their smiles. Whether you’re here for a routine cleaning or need a little extra support with your oral health, I’m here to listen, guide, and make the experience as easy and positive as possible.
I’m passionate about building real connections with my patients and making sure you feel at ease every step of the way. It’s not just about clean teeth—it’s about helping you feel good, inside and out.
When I’m not in the office, I’m usually off traveling, exploring new places, or spending time with my friends and family. I believe life (and smiles) are meant to be shared!

BRITTNIE GRISSOM – FRONT DESK / ASSISTANT

Hi – I’m Brittnie, I started working with Dr. Brobst back in 2012, and I’ve been in love with dentistry ever since. Over the years, I’ve worn a lot of hats—helping patients chairside as a dental assistant and keeping things running smoothly at the front desk. What I enjoy most is getting to know our patients and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for every step of the way.
Before dentistry, I proudly served in the United States Air Force Reserve, and that experience taught me the value of discipline, teamwork, and service—things I carry into my work every day.Outside the office, I’m “mom” first and foremost to my two amazing boys. They keep me busy, laughing, and constantly on my toes, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
