Our dental practice has a long history rooted in the beginnings of dentistry in Northwest Indiana, going all the way back to 1932! Today, Dr. Chris Lukasik is proud to carry on the tradition of nearly 100 years of excellence that our patients have come to expect when visiting our Merrillville, IN dental office. Most of our Merrillville patients have been with us for more than 20 years, and they are part of our extended dental family.
We enjoy treating patients of all ages, from toddlers to seniors, and we look forward to welcoming your family to our dental home. Updated dental technology at our Merrillville, IN dental office streamlines many of these treatments and helps improve your comfort. Digital x-rays and intraoral cameras are valuable for diagnosing conditions in their early stages.
But we also use them to educate you about your oral health so you can understand why Dr. Lukasik recommends treatment. We offer beautiful ceramic crowns and bridges, and if you're in a hurry, we also offer CAD/CAM same-visit crowns.

Our history is tied to the beginnings of dentistry in Northwest Indiana.
Dr. Maurice Avery Sr. began practicing dentistry in the region in 1907, before transferring the practice to his son, Dr. Maurice Avery Jr. in 1932.
Dr. Avery Jr. practiced for nearly half a century before selling the practice to Dr. Dennis Deeb, who had proudly served the community until Dr. Lukasik acquired the practice in 2018.
Nearly half of our patients have been part of the practice for 20 years, or more, with some being original patients of Dr. Avery Jr. My philosophy is to continue with the same level of care and trust that has built the foundation of our practice for over 100 years.

Digital x-rays expose patients to considerably less radiation than conventional film x-rays.
Digital x-rays require almost no time for development, reducing time spent waiting in the dental chair.
Digital x-rays are securely stored in your digital file and can be securely sent to your insurance company or specialists, when necessary.
Because no chemicals are needed for developing and no space is needed for film storage, digital x-rays are better for the environment.
