Dentist Biography:
Lauren joined the growing team of dentists at the Lymm practice in 2016 and has become a key member of our dentist team. Further to a degree in Physiology, Lauren then transferred to study dentistry before qualifying in 2011 from Liverpool University.
Since qualifying, Lauren has rapidly developed her dentistry experience by working in a number of practices on the Wirral and in Cheshire. Additionally, she continues to increase her professional development post-graduation by attending courses on Dental Health, Dental Acupuncture and Endodontics. Lauren is also a qualified Invisalign and Quick Straight Teeth short term orthodontics provider. She has recently graduated from a year-long Nigel Hargreaves Restorative Dentistry course at the Academy of Clinical Excellence. This has enabled to develop her skills further, particularly in smile design, implant restorations, veneers, crowns, bridges, dentures, and direct bonded restorations with a special focus on occlusion and aesthetics.
Lauren also volunteered in Kampala, Uganda to deliver oral hygiene presentations to children in the local schools and orphanages.
Outside the practice, Lauren enjoys keeping fit. She ran the Edinburgh Marathon in 2015 but now prefers to focus on weight training and yoga. She is a keen supporter of West Bromwich Albion football club, and also enjoys spending her free time with her son and husband. Lauren loves travelling, in particular city breaks such as Paris, Rome, Berlin and most recently Hong Kong.
