Welcome to Family Dental Care
The Merrillville Dentist
About Us
All our staff members have a common goal in helping each patient feel listened to and at ease with their procedures. When you step into our office you will be greeted with the main lobby featuring a television tuned to Pandora, couches, and a complimentary coffee station. Once you're checked in, simply sit back and relax until you’re called (we strive to run on time, so you probably won’t have time to get settled in).

Family Friendly
We love our families and we want to make sure that even our youngest patients enjoy coming to see us. In our waiting area, we have a playroom just for kids. We strive to make sure that kids have positive experiences because many adults are hesitant to visit a dentist due to unpleasant experiences as a child. Our staff members are calm and patient when treating kids and go out of their way to explain everything.
