Laura Lorenz, Hygienist

Ask Laura's patients, and they will tell you that her gentle touch is her best quality. Laura received her diploma in dental hygiene from Lamar University in 1987 and has been practicing dental hygiene since. She has been living in the area for 16 years and has children aged 18, 16 and 10.

She cares for patients with such warmth and competence that they quickly learn her name, and she theirs.
