Confession from your cosmetic dentist: I don’t like flossing either. 🫣

Nobody wakes up excited about string and gums. Not even me. But here’s the thing — I’ve seen what happens inside mouths that skip it, and I’ve seen the difference in the smiles that don’t. So I do it anyway. Every night. Old-school string floss, because it hugs the tooth in a way picks just can’t (yes, there’s a real reason your dentist keeps saying that).

You don’t have to love it. You just have to do it. That’s basically the secret to most things worth having — including a smile you’re proud of. 😉

Do you hate flossing? We can be honest here!👇

After months of anticipation, I’m excited to introduce myself as Dr. Lauren Patrick, the founder of . ✨

For the past 10 years, it has been my privilege to care for patients throughout the Des Moines metro area. During that time, I’ve dreamed of creating a practice that reflects everything I believe dentistry should be: elevated, personalized, and genuinely welcoming.

Blanc Dental Aesthetics was born from that vision.

Every detail of this space has been intentionally designed to create an experience that feels different from the moment you walk through the door — a place where exceptional dental care and modern aesthetics come together in a calm, comfortable environment.

Whether you’re seeking a healthier smile, cosmetic enhancements, or a dental home where you feel truly cared for, I can’t wait to welcome you.

This is more than a new practice. It’s the realization of a dream years in the making, and I’m so grateful to share it with all of you.

Welcome to Blanc Dental Aesthetics. We can’t wait to meet you 🤍

This week marks the end of what has been a beautiful, full-circle chapter in my life.

When I was 19-years-old, I walked into University Dental Group as a bright-eyed, Drake student who was still trying to figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up.

All these years later, it has been the place where I’ve met some of the most important people in my life, both patients and friends. Though my time here has come to an end, I will forever cherish this space and the people that make it so special.
