Bringing artistry and warmth to every smile

Get to know
Dr. Lauren Patrick

Dr. Lauren Patrick brings nearly a decade of experience, compassion, and deep clinical expertise to Blanc Dental Aesthetics. A native of Chicago’s south side and a long-time Iowa resident, Dr. Patrick is a proud wife, mother of two, and a passionate connector who genuinely loves getting to know each of her patients. She creates an elevated dental experience grounded in trust, education, and beautiful results.

Dr. Patrick earned her BA in Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology from Drake University in 2012 and went on to earn her DDS from Creighton School of Dentistry in 2016. She is a member of the American Dental Association and a Qualified Dentist with the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine. She is also certified in Invisalign and botulinum toxin, allowing her to combine form and function to help patients achieve and maintain healthy, confident smiles.

Much of Dr. Patrick’s vision for Blanc Dental Aesthetics is focused on the details: the warm greetings, the personal attention, the celebratory moment when treatment ends, because she knows that those small moments of connection can transform a patient’s entire outlook on dentistry. Whether someone is seeking maintenance, relief, or a cosmetic smile transformation, she believes in clear communication, goal-oriented care, and creating a plan that patients feel excited about.

Her favorite procedures: like clear aligners, oral sleep appliances, Botox, and smile rehabilitations, allow her to improve patients' health and confidence in one seamless experience. She also values her ability to help nervous or hesitant patients feel comfortable, empowered, and excited about their oral health journey.

Beyond the office, Dr. Patrick finds joy in family, food, and outdoor adventures. She's happiest when hosting a dinner for loved ones, cooking together with her little girls, or biking Iowa’s beautiful trails.
