Meet Dr. Laurent
Get to Know Your Smile Designer
Ann Laurent, DDS
After graduating from LSU School of Dentistry in 1983, Dr. Ann Laurent was one of only three female dentists in Lafayette. Today, she remains a trailblazer for aspiring women in a practice that helps patients achieve harmony when their outer smile mirrors their inner one. Her personal sense of spirituality informs her passion for beauty and healing in mind, body, and spirit. Balancing her compassionate heart is a zest for friendship, food, and music. Dr. Laurent’s hope and prayer is that her synthesis of artistic expression in social action reveals itself in her work, in
her relationships, and in her life. In the words of Kahlil Gibran, “Work is love made visible.”
