Welcome to Lake Hill Dental Care

Meet the doctors behind the practice

Dr. Laura Johnstone and Dr. Joseph Denning have built their lives and careers side by side. They both grew up in Brooklyn and studied in New York City before earning their DDS degrees from Stony Brook School of Dental Medicine. They completed their hospital residencies together at New York Hospital Queens and then chose to settle in Burnt Hills to start a family and open their practice.

Dr. Denning has advanced training in implant placement and oral conscious sedation. He has a strong interest in oral surgery and cares deeply about helping patients overcome fear. Dr. Johnstone is focused on esthetic dentistry, occlusion, and airway health. She is also active in organized dentistry and brings both clinical skill and leadership to the practice.

A close-knit team in a peaceful space

The team at Lake Hill Dental Care is known for its strong connection and shared purpose. There is warmth in every interaction, which is something patients recognize right away. Team members are chosen for their technical ability as well as their ability to listen with kindness and show up for patients as individuals.

The office feels calm and welcoming. Live plants, natural light, and soft lighting help create a peaceful environment. Every operatory has a window with a view, and comfort items like blankets, stress tools, and neck pillows are available. For patients who need extra support, the team offers nitrous oxide and oral sedation in a space that feels safe and supportive.

Focused care designed for your health

The practice offers modern services with a strong focus on prevention and comfort. Patients with gum disease benefit from bacterial microscopy, salivary testing, and non-surgical treatments like air polishing and laser therapy. This is a clinical approach guided by science and rooted in patient choice.

Lake Hill Dental Care is also known for helping patients with anxiety. People often arrive feeling overwhelmed, but they’re met with patience and honesty. The doctors take time to build trust and explain care without pressure. Over time, many patients begin to look forward to their visits and feel confident taking control of their oral health.
