Convenient Access from Lake in the Hills
Straighter teeth, a brighter smile and steady family checkups are all reasons to head up Randall Road to Conway Dental, roughly 26 minutes north in Woodstock. For anyone weighing a dentist in Lake in the Hills, IL against a longer list of nearby offices, we offer something different: a general practice founded in 1981, now led by a dentist with advanced Invisalign and implant training.
From the Village Hall at 600 Harvest Gate, take Harvest Gate out to West Algonquin Road and turn north on Randall Road. Randall Road hands off to McHenry Avenue, which carries you into Crystal Lake, where you pick up US 14 heading northwest along West Virginia Street. After about 6.6 miles on US 14, turn onto Lake Avenue, follow the roundabout to South Madison Street, and finish on West Washington Street, a drive of about 13.6 miles.
The office sits at 226 Washington St, Woodstock, IL 60098, just north of the Woodstock Square between N Throop St and Wheeler St. Open Conway Dental in Google Maps to plan your route. Randall Road and US 14 through Crystal Lake are busy corridors, so allow extra time at school and rush hours. Neighbors in Lakewood and Crystal Lake travel much of the same road.
Growing Households in Lake in the Hills Deserve a Steady Dental Home
Lake in the Hills began in 1923, when federal judge Walter J. LaBuy started buying land around what is now the Indian Trail area. The village, in southeastern McHenry County, incorporated on November 29, 1952. Its biggest change came in the 1990s, when new subdivisions made it one of the fastest-growing suburbs in the Chicago area.
A household with children of different ages needs a practice that can handle a seven-year-old's first filling, a teen's orthodontic plan and a parent's crown without sending anyone elsewhere. Our two general dentists cover all of it in one Woodstock office.
The village's main roads are Randall Road, running north-south, and Algonquin Road, which marks the line with Algonquin to the south. The Prairie Trail crosses the village on its way north through Crystal Lake. When a workday ends on that corridor, our Thursday hours until 6:00 PM leave room for a visit on the way home.
Green space is part of the village's identity too. The Lake in the Hills Fen Nature Preserve, dedicated in 1990, covers about 354 acres with its buffer and is reached through Barbara Key Park off Pyott Road. Nearby, the village-owned airport on Pyott Road began in 1957 as Crystal Lake Airport and now serves as a reliever field for O'Hare.
Smile Goals and Family Checkups in Lake in the Hills
Several school districts serve the village, including Consolidated School District 158, School District 300 in the eastern sections and Elementary District 47. Community High School District 155 also serves the area, and older students go on to high schools such as Huntley, Jacobs and Crystal Lake South, depending on where they live. With so many students, routine cleanings and exams are the backbone of most family dental plans here.
The teen and young-adult years are also when appearance starts to matter. Crowding, gaps and stained enamel are common reasons to seek cosmetic care. Invisalign moves teeth with a series of clear trays, and our Invisalign process page covers the treatment process.
New patients can begin with a complimentary Invisalign consultation. Dr. Albomter is a certified Invisalign provider, and the iTero digital scanner records 3D images of the teeth instead of using impression trays.
Parents often want cosmetic changes of their own once the kids' care is settled. In-office whitening and veneers can refresh a smile that has dulled or chipped over the years. Dr. Albomter has completed aesthetic dentistry and smile makeover training, which shapes how he plans that work.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Conway Dental from Lake in the Hills, and how do I get there?
From the Lake in the Hills Village Hall, we are about 13.6 miles away, roughly a 26-minute drive. The route runs north on Randall Road and McHenry Avenue, then northwest on US 14 and Lake Avenue into Woodstock. It is a steady drive for anyone choosing a dentist in Lake in the Hills, IL residents can reach on familiar roads.
My teeth shifted after braces as a kid. Can Invisalign fix that?
In many cases, yes. Teeth that drift after braces are a common reason adults look into clear aligners. Dr. Albomter is a certified Invisalign provider, and an iTero digital scan records your current bite in 3D. New patients can book a complimentary Invisalign consultation to see what correction would involve.
Do I need a cleaning before starting Invisalign or veneers?
Usually, yes, if it has been a while since your last one. Healthy gums are the foundation for any cosmetic or orthodontic work, and tartar or inflammation can affect how aligners fit and how veneers look. Our dentists start with an exam, and if the gums need attention, a cleaning or periodontal care comes first.
Will whitening lighten my crowns or fillings too?
No. Whitening works on natural enamel, so existing crowns, veneers and fillings keep their original shade. If those restorations sit on your front teeth, they may look darker once the surrounding teeth are brighter. Our dentists will point out any that could stand out, so you can decide whether to replace them after whitening.
Do your appointments usually start on time?
Yes, starting on time is something the practice is known for. Dr. Conway built Conway Dental around respect for patients' schedules, and the team works to keep the day running as planned. For a parent coordinating school pickups or a commuter heading back down Randall Road, that reliability makes the drive easier.
