About Us

Our Doctors

Dr. Larry H. Lindsay, DDS

Dr. Larry H. Lindsay is a highly skilled, experienced cosmetic and general dentist with a gentle touch.
Practicing in Austin, Texas, since 1982, Dr. Lindsay graduated from Southwestern University in 1973 and then attended the University of Texas at Austin Pharmacy School before attending the University of Texas Dental Branch in Houston, graduating in 1979. After establishing a successful general dentistry practice in beautiful Ouray, Colorado in the Rocky Mountains for 3 years, Dr. Lindsay returned to his warmer hometown of Austin, Texas.

To meet the needs of his patients, Dr. Lindsay has rigorously expanded his dental skills and knowledge the past 30 years, studying advanced restorative techniques and implant surgery and restoration. Completing more than 700 hours of specialty training in implant surgery and restoration, he has been restoring implants for more than 25 years and placing implants for 10 years. Dr. Lindsay also teaches implant training courses several times a year for dentists learning to place implants.

Dr. Lindsay is a graduate of the Foundation for Advanced Continuing Education (FACE), a two-year study program in San Francisco on advanced restorative dentistry. He also serves as a Course Mentor for Dr. Gordon Christensen’s Clinical Courses taught to dentists from around the world at his training center in Provo, Utah. To provide his more anxious patients with comfort, Dr. Lindsay is also licensed to administer conscious sedation.

Dr. Lindsay lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife Rebecca. He has been active in the Boy Scouts of America for most of his life, most recently as Associate Section Adviser for the Order of the Arrow, and has served on the Capitol Area Council BSA Executive Board for 20 years. A skilled woodworker and stained glass artist, he’s also an avid fly fisherman throughout Texas and Colorado and a skilled fly tier and rod builder.

Dr. Luke Johnson, DDS

Dr. Luke Johnson, born and raised in the beautiful state of Colorado, Dr. Johnson brings to the practice a positive energy and gentle touch that makes coming to the dentist an enjoyable experience. From an early age, Dr. Johnson knew that he was going to be a doctor; he always felt compelled to help improve the lives of those around him. After a few visits to his childhood dentist, Dr. Johnson knew that dentistry was for him. He witnessed how integral a part his dentist was in the lives of his patients. It is for this that Dr. Johnson strives to provide the best possible care to every patient that walks into Balcones Dental.

Dr. Johnson received his bachelor’s degree in Chemistry at the University of Northern Colorado. After graduating he took a short break to travel and spend time with his family. He then moved to Denver to attend the University Of Colorado School Of Dental Medicine where he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery in 2013. Dr. Johnson fell in love with Denver, and spent the next five years practicing in both private practice and public health dental offices. His most recent position was held as dental director of a non-profit medical clinic that focused on comprehensive dental treatment for the underserved. He also served on the board of the Low Income for Seniors Dental Program which worked to improve access to dental care for the elderly.

When he’s not practicing dentistry, Dr. Johnson enjoys being outdoors hiking, kayaking, riding his motorcycle or trying out the newest brewery. His four year old Sheltie, Charlie, also keeps him busy with daily jaunts around the neighborhood or to the dog park. Dr. Johnson has been told that he can belt out a good ballad. He is a member of the Capital City Men’s Chorus and also indulges in a few nights out to karaoke with his friends.

Dr. Johnson won’t make you feel bad if you’re not a great flosser! He understands that everyone’s oral health and dental needs are different. For that reason, he strives to create a treatment plan and home care routine that caters to each individual’s needs. Dr. Johnson is always seeking continuing education to hone his skills and learn updated techniques that will better serve his patients as dentistry continues to develop. He is truly passionate about helping others through dentistry and can’t wait to meet you as a patient here at Balcones Dental.
