Lauren Wilson – Instructor/Faculty Track
Dr. Lauren Wilson’s interest in dentistry started at a young age, which led her to spend a lot of time in her father’s dental practice after school and during summer breaks. Here she gained a first-hand understanding of the importance of having a warm and inviting dental environment. It was her father’s enthusiasm for dentistry and his commitment to providing the best care for his patients that inspired Dr. Lauren to join the profession.
After receiving her B.S. in Biology and Spanish from the University of Kentucky, Dr. Lauren continued her studies at Roseman University of Health Sciences College of Dental Medicine. In dental school, she was the proud recipient of several awards for excellence in clinical dentistry. Dr. Lauren officially joined her father’s practice in the spring of 2020 fulfilling her childhood dream of becoming a general dentist.
Roseman University was the very first dental school to fully integrate the Bioclear Method into their curriculum, and Dr. Lauren was in the very first dental class to begin using the method. Her Bioclear education began day one in the simulation clinic, using the Bioclear system on typodonts. Since graduating dental school, she has completed Bioclear certification courses and began teaching for Bioclear. She is passionate about educating dentists & patients alike on the benefits of this novel approach to composite.
Dr. Lauren also remains active in the dental community as a member of the St. Clair District Dental Society, serving as President during the 2022-2023 session. She currently serves on the membership committee for the Illinois State Dental Society. She is an adjunct faculty at A.T. Still Missouri School of Dentistry & Oral Health, as well.
When Dr. Lauren is not at the office providing for her patients, she enjoys being dubbed a “foodie” exploring new restaurants, attending St. Louis Blues hockey games, listening to live music, and spending time with her family and friends. She currently resides in Belleville, IL, and is a proud parent to her fur babies, Margot, Mila, Fisher, and Charlie.
