Meet The Team

Lauren Williams

Hi, I’m Lauren. I’ve been a dental hygienist for over 14 years. Being a hygienist is very rewarding for me. I really enjoy getting to know my patients personally while taking care of their oral health.

My passion is being a mommy to my two young children and CrossFit workouts! On my free time I enjoy spending it with my family, friends, and good food of course. I can’t wait to meet you and have you a part of this amazing dental family.

Michelle Beneventano

Hello, my name is Michelle and I have been a hygienist for Dr. O’Flanagan for two years now and a dental hygienist for 22 years. I love the relationship I have built throughout the years with many of my patients. Many have started my professional career with me, and they have continued with me for all these years. Dr. O’Flanagan and I share a passion to help all our patients and offer them treatment to keep their mouths healthy, comfortable and reach whatever esthetic goals they are trying to reach.

I am a proud mother to two children and two stepchildren. I enjoy spending my time with my family and working out at the gym. Any activity outside and count me in!
