If you live in Cedartown or elsewhere in Polk County and want a dentist who already knows this part of Northwest Georgia, Dr. Lauren Lindsey is a natural fit. She grew up in Cedartown, graduated from Cedartown High School, and now practices at William L. Edwards Dentistry in Rome, the same office she has been part of since 2020.
Here is who she is, how she got here, what care is available, and how to take the next step.
Cedartown roots, Northwest Georgia practice
Dr. Lauren Lindsey is a Cedartown native. After Cedartown High School, she attended the University of Georgia, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology and Psychology in 2022. She continued at the Dental College of Georgia and received her Doctorate of Dental Medicine in May 2026.
Her background in both biology and psychology shapes a thoughtful approach to dentistry. She works to help people feel comfortable, informed, and well cared for throughout the visit.
She practices alongside Dr. Will Edwards, who was born and raised in Rome. Together they serve patients throughout Rome, Floyd County, Cedartown, Polk County, and Northwest Georgia. For a fuller introduction, see Welcoming Dr. Lauren Lindsey.
Part of this office since 2020. Dentist since 2026
Dr. Lindsey has been part of the office since 2020, years on the team before dental school, so she already knows the practice’s standards of care and many of the people who walk through the door.
After earning her DMD in May 2026, she returned to practice here. Patients get a familiar face and a dentist who already understands how this office works.
Outside the office, she enjoys time with family and friends, University of Georgia football in Athens, and her dog, Baxter. She and her fiancé, Miles Minge, plan to marry in October 2026.
Why Cedartown and Polk County patients choose this practice
Many households in Cedartown already come to Rome for work, shopping, and other care. William L. Edwards Dentistry offers a Cedartown-raised dentist on the team and a full general and family practice.
- Continuity: exams, cleanings, and restorative work with the same team over time
- Hometown connection: Dr. Lindsey’s Cedartown roots and Dr. Edwards’ Rome roots
- Practical scheduling: two dentists means more appointment options
- Care that matches real life: preventive visits when you are well, urgent help when something hurts, and clearer plans when a tooth needs more than a cleaning

What care is available here
William L. Edwards Dentistry is a family and general practice first. Patients visit for:
- Preventive dental care, routine exams, cleanings, digital x-rays, and sealants when they fit
- Fillings, crowns, bridges, and complete or partial dentures
- Same-day crowns when that path fits the tooth: final restoration in one longer visit, without a temporary for that path
- Root canal treatment when the nerve is involved
- Oral surgery when the case fits: extractions, biopsies, bone grafting, and wisdom teeth
- Dental implant care here when that is the plan, with Dr. Edwards and Dr. Lindsey
- Oral sedation as a pill option for patients who need calm. A driver is required
- Emergency dental appointments during office hours when something cannot wait
Overview: Treatment. Sedation: Sedation. New to the practice: New Patients.
If something already hurts and you are new, say so when you call. We address the immediate problem first, then schedule a standard new-patient exam.
What to expect on a first visit
A first visit is usually an exam and conversation, digital x-rays when needed, cleaning discussion and preventive recommendations that fit, and a clear next step if something needs a filling, crown, or other treatment. For children, a parent stays involved in that conversation.
