Professional background
A Chicago native, Dr. Lauren Jacobsen completed her Bachelor of Science in sunny Arizona where she continued on to earn her doctorate in Dental Medicine. Not willing to trade out the sunshine and warmth for Midwest winters, Dr. Jacobsen moved to downtown Austin and has called it home ever since.
After experiencing dental trauma as a child, Dr. Jacobsen was inspired to help others in the same way that her dentist helped her, in a caring, safe, and shame-free manner. Growing up, she interned in the office of a neighbor who managed her own dental practice. It was there that she not only learned about dentistry but about how to create the best possible patient experience.
Dr. Jacobsen started Toothbar because she saw a demand in the community for comprehensive care from the “shoulders up.” She lives and works downtown, which allows her to easily relate to and address the needs of her clientele. She’s very active in the Austin dental community and runs her own study club with other dentists who focus on putting the patient first.
Outside of her dental suite, Dr. Jacobsen enjoys running along Lady Bird Lake and hopes to one day run a marathon. She also volunteers with the Special Olympics and stays true to her hometown pride by cheering on her beloved Chicago Bears.
