Rachael has been a hygienist for over 30 years and takes great pride in providing thorough but gentle care to our patients and their families.

Lauren M.

Certified Dental Assistant

Lauren has been working in the field of dentistry for 25 years and can honestly say that she still has passion and a love for what she does! Lauren has been travelling and training alongside Dr. Johnson in Functional Aesthetics and works with patients to create beautiful and even more importantly healthy, functional ‘Smiles by Design’. She enjoys using her artistic skills while working on each individual case. Her goal is to give each patient a healthy, stable, and protective chewing system, and the beautiful confident smile they have always dreamed of!

Lauren and her husband Peter have lived in New Hampshire for almost 25 years. They have 2 sons, Will – 18 who is attending the Diesel Mechanics Program at White Mountains Community College in Berlin, NH, and their younger son Logan – 16 who attends Sanborn Regional High School and has been a dedicated soccer player for several years now. Lauren is always keeping Peter on his toes and is passionate about animals and rescuing those in need. They have 2 dogs: Camouflage Hank and Ruger Blue, both Catahoula Leopard dogs. They are both good ol’ southern boys, rescued from Louisiana and Alabama. In addition to their dogs, they also have a Bearded Dragon named Steve. Because Lauren’s mom always tells her, “If you Rest, You’ll Rust” she has decided that when she retires, she will work with animal rescues and she hopes she will never “rust”.

In her spare time, Lauren can be found gardening and maintaining her ‘Oasis’ in the backyard, hiking with her dogs, exercising, cooking, and spending time with her family and friends.
