DR. LAUREN DE OLIVEIRA, D.D.S.
Dr. Lauren De Oliveira (formerly known as Dr. Lauren Johnson) grew up in Southgate, Michigan, and has always had a fascination with teeth. She decided that she wanted to become a dentist at the young age of 12-years-old and never changed her mind. She began shadowing and working in dental offices at the age of 16, learning the trade firsthand from her older cousin who was also a dentist.
She earned her Bachelor of Science in biology from the University of Michigan-Dearborn, and then went on to obtain her DDS degree from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry in 2015. During dental school, Dr. De Oliveira worked through many holiday breaks in the emergency department, broadening her understanding of the techniques used in oral surgery. As a lifelong Michigan fan, she even has a block M painted on her molar!
Dr. De Oliveira has gone through many aspects of dentistry herself, from having surgeries for impacted teeth to Invisalign treatment. She loves being able to use her experiences to empathize and relate to her patients. Her favorite part about dentistry is being able to help her patients in every aspect of the field, while making them comfortable and educating them on their oral health. As a Galler Reingage certified Invisalign provider, she has completed over 180 cases and is ready to help transform your smile.
Outside of the office, Dr. De Oliveira enjoys painting in watercolor, lifting weights, traveling on long weekends, and spending time with her husband, friends, and family.
