Narrative:
While landing my aircraft experienced a nose landing gear failure during the rollout phase of landing. Prior to touchdown; the landing gear selector was selected to the down position and the three green down and locked landing gear indicator lights were on. The landing gear indicator lights were verified down prior to turning base; again on base; and finally on final. Nothing about the landing was abnormal. Once we smoothly touched down on the main landing gear; the nose landing gear smoothly lowered. Upon touching down; the nose landing gear collapsed. No injuries were sustained. Tower notified airport operations and the aircraft was removed from the runway.
