Dr. Dori Lang Columbus, a General Dentist from Hudson NH, is excited to announce her recent acquisition of Dental Expressions in Weirs Beach. Dental Expressions has provided exceptional dental care to the greater Laconia area since 2004, a practice previously operated by Dr. Darren Boles.

Dr. Columbus began her career as a dental assistant while attending the world-renowned McGill University and completed her dental training at the University of Maryland, Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. After graduating Dental School in 1991, Dr. Columbus began practicing in Lancaster, PA before moving to Hudson, NH in 2002. She prides herself in her advanced education which gives her the knowledge and experience to treat complex cases. She is highly skilled in all phases of general dentistry including implant dentistry, periodontal therapy, and orthodontics. Dr. Columbus’ philosophy is to treat the whole person with a comprehensive approach that extends beyond tooth health; her total care method considers her patients’ facial structures, functionality of their smiles, and cosmetics when recommending the best care tailored for their individual well-being.

Dr. Dori Columbus has extended her dental services to the people of Uganda, East Africa, and has traveled to the region multiple times.  She has worked in the remote villages of Mitala Maria and Buyoga, in addition to an orphanage in Kankobe.  Her nonprofit, Humanity Foundation for Uganda is affiliated with Kisubi Hospital in Entebbe where she is helping to establish a teaching clinic to train other dental professionals.

Dr. Columbus has always loved the Lakes Region—spending her childhood on Bear Island and camping with her family. Today she maintains a camp on the island and is eager to call Laconia her permanent home. She is looking forward to meeting both new and existing patients of Dental Expressions.
