A confident smile can change how you feel

Cosmetic care at Lake Hill Dental Care is designed for patients who want to feel proud of their smile again without pressure or pretense. We start by listening to your goals and concerns. Some patients want subtle changes, while others are ready for a full transformation. No matter where you’re starting, we offer guidance that’s honest, supportive, and shaped around your comfort.

Cosmetic care that fits your life

Results that support your confidence

We help you improve your smile in ways that feel natural. Every recommendation is based on your preferences, not a template.

Restorations that look and feel like your own teeth

From bonding to veneers to full-coverage crowns, we use high-quality materials that reflect light and blend with your natural shade.

Care designed around your comfort

We take time to explain each step, offer comfort options when needed, and work at a pace that helps you feel more in control.

Options that work with your smile and goals

Veneers

Veneers can smooth out worn edges, close gaps, and improve tooth shape or color. We design each one to fit your face and bite. For some patients, we use digital previews to help visualize the change before anything is placed.

Composite bonding

Bonding is a conservative option that uses tooth-colored resin to rebuild chips or even out a rough surface. It’s often completed in one visit and doesn’t require removing much enamel.

Smile redesign

When multiple changes are needed, we create a full plan that supports your health and appearance. This might include crowns, implants, or gum contouring. Each case is carefully staged and personalized to your goals.

Whitening

We offer in-office and take-home whitening for patients looking to brighten their smile safely. Before we begin, we check for sensitivity and gum health to make sure whitening is appropriate for you.

The cosmetic care process

Previous
Next
1

We begin with a consultation

We’ll start by learning what you’d like to change and why. This conversation helps us understand how your smile is affecting your day-to-day life, not just how it looks in photos.

2

We assess your oral health

Cosmetic care starts with a healthy foundation. We’ll examine your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw to make sure you’re a good candidate. If any inflammation or decay is present, we’ll help resolve that first.

3

We plan treatment based on your comfort

Once we know your goals and the condition of your teeth, we’ll build a care plan that works with your timeline and preferences. We’ll explain each step in plain language and talk through what to expect after treatment.

What we see changes how we treat

Dr. Johnstone shares how a personal shift toward health and longevity changed the way she practices dentistry. In this conversation, she explains how microscopy, bacterial testing, and a more human approach help patients understand inflammation, make informed decisions, and feel like partners in their care.

Frequently asked questions

No. Our approach is conservative and evidence-based. Treatments like bonding and veneers require removing very little enamel, and in many cases, they can actually help protect worn or fragile edges. We never rush into irreversible procedures, and you’ll always understand what’s being recommended and why.

That depends on the treatment and how your bite functions. Bonding may last for several years, while veneers and crowns can last much longer. We’ll talk about expected wear, long-term maintenance, and what you can do at home to keep your results stable. We also recommend regular check-ins so we can monitor how everything is holding up.

In many cases, yes. We often combine cosmetic care with restorative or periodontal treatment. We’ll begin with any necessary repairs or inflammation control, then move into cosmetic planning. You don’t have to be in perfect shape to get started; we’ll meet you where you are.

What an amazing team at Lake Hill Dental! I couldn’t be happier with the care I received. Everyone treated me with genuine care, concern, and respect - not just as a patient, but as a person. Highly recommended!

Kim Frustere

I have major dental anxiety and was really nervous about going in, but this office was incredibly kind and caring from start to finish. They weren’t judgmental at all and took the time to explain everything step by step, which really helped calm me down. They listened to my concerns and made sure I felt comfortable the whole time. With a long road of dental work ahead, I’m so glad I was referred here and I finally feel comfortable going to the dentist.

Chelsea Rees

I have been a patient at Lake Hill Dental for several years and am so pleased with the care provided by the Dentists and the staff. For starters, the office is modern and very welcoming which is greatly appreciated.

Over the years, I have been impressed with the thoughtful care given by Dr. Johnstone and Dr. Denning. Recently, I had two experiences with Dr. Denning where he demonstrated both patience and kindness despite a very busy schedule and patient load. He listened to my concerns and responded to them thoughtfully.

I highly recommend Lake Hill Dental!
