You know what we love? When patients show up for their own health.

These six things are what a gold star patient does. And yes, you can absolutely be one. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about showing up consistently with your mouth the way you’d show up for anything that matters to you.

Clean your tongue. Use soft bristles. Skip the charcoal products. Take care of your appliances. Floss or use a water pick. Come to your appointments.

Which one are you already nailing? Which one are you going to start?

The building is part of the care.

When we designed Lake Hill, we didn't just think about dental chairs and equipment. We thought about what makes a human feel safe, healthy, and calm - from the materials we chose (nothing toxic) to the UV sterilizers we installed years before anyone was talking about air quality, to the fact that every operatory has a window.

Natural light, fresh air, a space that doesn't feel cramped. These sound like small things, but they're not. They change how patients feel and they change how our team feels showing up every day.

Good design isn't decoration. It's preventive medicine for the whole experience. 💙

The artist. The process. The art. 🎨

Behind every healthy smile is a hygienist with a steady hand, a great pair of loupes, and a lot of pride in the details. Our air polisher gently clears away bacteria and buildup so your teeth and gums can feel fresh and healthy.

Come see the craft up close. 💙

Your saliva is one of the most powerful tools your body has, and most people have no idea.

It neutralizes acids that would otherwise eat away at your enamel, it washes away bacteria, it delivers protective minerals back to your teeth. It's your mouth's built-in defense system.

But here's the thing: not everyone's saliva is created equal. The bacterial balance in your mouth (your oral microbiome) says a lot about what's happening everywhere else in your body.

This is why we test saliva at Lake Hill. Not for fun, but because what we find changes how we treat you.

Happy World Smile Day! 😆

A smile is one of the first things people notice about you. It's also one of the things that shapes how you show up in the world, how confident you feel, and whether you want to show up at all.

If your smile has been making you self-conscious, if you've been hiding it in photos or conversations, or if the thought of smiling feels complicated, we want you to know that can change.

Whether it's whitening, cosmetic bonding, veneers, or just finally getting that tooth taken care of, Dr. Johnstone is exceptional at helping people rediscover what it feels like to actually want to smile.

Your smile matters. You deserve to feel good about it.

Your bite is literally the difference between teeth that last 10 years and teeth that last a lifetime.

If your teeth aren't hitting each other correctly, the force on individual teeth can exceed what they can actually handle. That's when you see wear. Stress fractures. Damage that shouldn't be happening.

During your comprehensive exam, we're looking for this. We're checking how your teeth come together, looking for signs of wear, understanding what forces are being placed where.

Sometimes the fix is simple: a night guard to protect your teeth. Sometimes it requires more involved work with an orthodontist to correct the bite itself.

The point is this: we're not just looking at your teeth in isolation. We're looking at how your whole bite is functioning, because that determines whether your smile lasts.

Fall is beautiful. It's also the season when the air gets dry, heating systems kick on, and suddenly your mouth feels like the Sahara Desert.

Dry mouth is not just uncomfortable. It's a problem.

Your saliva is doing way more than keeping your mouth wet. It's protecting your enamel. It's fighting bacteria. It's the first line of defense against cavities and gum disease.

When saliva production drops, your cavity risk goes up. Your gum health suffers. Your mouth becomes more vulnerable to infection.

If you're noticing your mouth feels dry, especially as the season changes, mention it at your appointment. We can talk about what's causing it and how to address it.

Dry mouth is fixable. You don't have to just live with it.

A veneer is basically a cosmetic solution for someone who wants to change their smile without rebuilding their whole mouth.

It's a thin shell of porcelain that we bond to the front of your tooth. It covers discoloration, closes small gaps, reshapes teeth that are oddly proportioned, or just gives you the smile you've been imagining.

The cool part? It's more conservative than a crown. We're not removing a ton of healthy tooth structure. We're just adding a new surface.

One tooth, three teeth, a whole smile we can customize it. And once it's bonded, it functions like your natural tooth. No special care. No limitations on what you eat. No feeling like you're wearing something fake.

If you've been looking at your smile and wishing something was different, a veneer might be exactly what you need.

When you can't find the foot pedal, you improvise. And apparently, improvising means salsa dancing with your coworker. 💃

The difference between a standard implant and a precision implant comes down to planning.

We map your mouth in 3D before we even touch it. We know exactly where your nerves are, how much bone you have, and whether this is going to work. Then we send that map to a lab to create a surgical guide, so when you're in the chair, we're not guessing. We're following a blueprint.

Result: you're in and out faster. The procedure is safer. And your implant actually lasts.

Most implant placements take under 30 minutes. That's not rushing. That's precision.

Dr. Denning handles this start to finish, right here. No referrals across town. No surprises.
