Dr. Johnson was born and raised in Schaumburg where he attended Schaumburg High School. During that time, you may have seen him performing in the show on horseback at Medieval Times. He graduated from Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisconsin studying biology and chemistry. He then earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS) from University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry. Dr. Johnson was honored with the International College of Dentists Award in recognition of a student who demonstrated the most dedication and commitment to dentistry.
Dr. Johnson has been practicing in the Chicago suburbs for over fifteen years, and became the owner of Forest Edge Dental in 2011. He continues his commitment to dentistry by regularly attending courses to stay current with the latest advances in the field. As a dentist, it is my responsibility to inform and educate every patient about all their treatment options. Everyone is unique and has different dental needs. I take pride in being a gentle, meticulous dentist. It is my goal for our patients to be surprised at how comfortable modern dentistry can be. He is an active member of the American Dental Association, Illinois State Dental Society, and Chicago Dental Society.
Dr. Johnson loves spending time with his wife (Melissa) and their two year old daughter (Ava). As a family, they enjoy walking and playing with their Bernese Mountain Dog named Dyna. He enjoys being outdoors while snowboarding and boating, playing ice hockey, traveling, and exercising.

Started on time and finished quickly--within 30 minutes! Included assessing pain in my gum and a thorough cleaning. The icing on the cake is the kindness and care of the whole team.

I had a very good cleaning today. The dental hygienist was very thorough and so was Dr. Johnson during his exam.

Loved Forest Edge Dental. My teeth health had improved so much since I switched to them. And the staff is very professional at checking and cleaning my teeth and helpful in answering my questions. I believe I will have all my teeth in my old age.

I have been a patient here for over 5 years and am always impressed with Dr. Johnson and his team. His work is second to none and he truly cares about his patients. He is very dedicated to his work and makes sure that he does the best work possible. The office staff is extremely friendly and helpful and even got in me in during a dental emergency. Very clean office (and nicely decorated) I would highly suggest Dr. Johnson and his team as your new dentist.

Dr Lars Johnson is the most exceptional dentist I have ever had. You don't feel he is working inside your mouth due to his gentle technique. In addition he explains the procedure he is performing step by step along with asking if you're alright before he continues onto the next one. He is caring and friendly which makes the patient comfortable. The staff is excellent, always welcoming and polite. I highly recommend his practice.

Everyone is great very courteous and professional. I expected to spend a lot more because I thought it would take a lot to fix. They fix my chipped tooth didn't even need Novocaine. I was there early and they took me in early which is a rarity in most places.
