Lauren Sherman, DDS

When Dr. Lauren Sherman was a young girl thinking about her future career, she didn't have very far to look for inspiration.  Since growing up in Arlington Heights, IL dentistry has been a part of her life.  She attended the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana and received her Bachelor of Science in Biology in 1996.  Upon graduation she followed in the footsteps of her father and grandfather and made the decision to pursue dentistry.  In 2001 she received her Bachelor of Science in Dentistry and Doctor of Dental Surgery degrees from the University of Illinois College of Dentistry in Chicago.  She met her husband Dr. James Edmonds in dental school and they were married soon after in 2001.

Dr. Sherman is North Eastern Regional Board Certified.  She is a member of many professional associations including the American Dental Association, Illinois State Dental Association, Chicago Dental Association and she frequently attends advanced dentistry classes to improve the many clinical services she provides and to offer the highest level of care.

In her spare time Dr. Sherman finds joy in baking, gardening and photography.  Her daughter and son are her favorite subjects.  She loves to travel with family and her preferred destination is Disney World.
