Convenient Access from Orland Hills
Orland Dental Studio sits northwest of the village in Orland Park, roughly 10 minutes from Orland Hills Village Hall by car. Neighbors who want a dentist in Orland Hills, IL without a long commute get two dentists, CEREC crowns milled on site, in-house implant and extraction care, and appointments until 7 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. The village has its own government and our office is outside it, but the drive between the two is one of the simplest in the area.
From the Village Hall on 94th Avenue, go north to 159th Street (US 6) and turn left. Stay on 159th heading west until 108th Avenue, then turn right and follow 108th north to 143rd Street. Turn right on 143rd, and you will find us at 10600 W 143rd St, Orland Park, IL 60462, on the short stretch between 108th Avenue and the Crystal Tree Dr entrance. The full trip covers about 4.3 miles with no tolls.
The office is pinned on Google Maps if you want to save it to your phone. Homes near Lake Lorin and Richard F. Kelly Park, by 167th Street on the east side of the village, head north to 159th Street and then follow the same route. Our pages for neighboring Fernway, just across 88th Avenue, and Eagle Ridge, down near 179th Street, describe those neighborhoods' own routes.
A Practice That Fits the Pace of Orland Hills
This village packs a lot into a small footprint. It covers only about a square mile, yet it holds roughly 60 acres of parkland, two lakes and a recreation department based at the Community & Fitness Center on Haven Avenue. Residents tend to stay put, too: few households move in any given year, which makes a long-term dental home worth choosing carefully.
The village incorporated in 1961 and was known as Westhaven before taking its current name. Today the Village of Orland Hills sits between Orland Park and Tinley Park in Orland Township, with 159th Street running along its north edge. Pace Route 364 also serves the village.
Our approach suits a settled community. Dr. Badat built the practice around proactive, conservative care, which means watching small problems closely and treating them early rather than waiting for a crisis. The dental chairs also look out on nature views, where deer and birds pass by during the day.
That conservative mindset shows up in small ways. A worn filling is monitored before it is replaced, and treatment options are laid out with costs before anything begins. Patients get time to ask questions instead of being rushed toward a decision.
Because 159th Street is the main retail corridor along the north edge of Orland Hills, a dental visit can share a trip with groceries or other errands. That stretch runs slower at rush hour, so plan a few extra minutes for a 5 PM or 6 PM appointment. Patients from Orland Hills who prefer a calmer drive can choose a Saturday morning slot instead.
Dental Habits That Matter for a Younger Community
Orland Hills has a noticeably younger population than the Palos communities to the north, with a median age in the mid-thirties. That usually means working parents, school calendars and two jobs to juggle. In households like these, routine cleanings are often the first thing to slide, and small cavities quietly grow into bigger repairs.
Prevention is easier to keep up when the schedule cooperates. Our office stays open until 7 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, closes at 2 PM on Wednesdays, runs until 5 PM on Fridays, and sees patients on Saturdays from 9 AM to 2 PM. Evening slots make it realistic to keep preventive cleanings and exams on the calendar without leaving work early.
When an exam does find a soft spot in the enamel, it does not always mean a drill. Curodont is a no-drill treatment for early cavities that helps the tooth rebuild its own mineral before the damage spreads. It suits people who would rather catch decay at the earliest possible stage.
Elementary students here attend schools in Kirby School District 140 or Orland School District 135, and older students head to Carl Sandburg or Victor J. Andrew high schools. Saturday hours help households work around those busy school-year calendars. Like its neighbors, the village is part of Cook County.
Gum health deserves the same attention as cavities. Bleeding when you brush, gums that look puffy or a bad taste that will not go away are early signs worth checking. Treated early, gum inflammation is usually far easier to manage than the bone loss it can lead to.
Services From Your Dentist in Orland Hills, IL
Preventative Dentistry
Twice-yearly cleanings, exams and a careful look at gums and enamel are the backbone of care for households in Orland Hills. Catching wear and decay early keeps treatment smaller and simpler.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, inlays, onlays and crowns repair teeth that have already taken damage. CEREC lets us design and mill many crowns in the office, so a damaged tooth can often be restored in a single visit.
Invisalign®
Dr. Badat is a certified Invisalign provider. Clear, removable aligners suit adults who want straighter teeth without metal brackets showing at work or in family photos.
Root Canal Therapy
A deep cavity or cracked tooth can inflame the nerve inside. Root canal therapy removes the infected tissue and seals the tooth so you can keep it instead of losing it.
Dental Sedation
Nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation, offered with Dr. Nguyen, help nervous patients get through longer visits. For anyone who has put off care because of nerves, sedation can make a return visit feel manageable.
Meet Your Orland Park Dental Team
Two general dentists share the chairs here. Founder Dr. Ibraahim Badat trained at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry and favors prevention and conservative repairs. Dr. Christopher Nguyen, DMD, takes on the implants, wisdom teeth, grafting and sedation visits.
Insurance, Membership & Financing
Patients without coverage can join our in-house Membership Plan: Basic is $350 a year, and Advanced, which adds fluoride varnish and an emergency exam, is $550. Neither tier has waiting periods, deductibles or annual maximums. We also work with most major PPO plans and accept CareCredit and Cherry.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Orland Dental Studio from Orland Hills, and how do I get there?
The Village Hall is about 4.3 miles from our office, around a 10-minute drive. Take 94th Avenue north, 159th Street west, 108th Avenue north and 143rd Street east. For anyone looking for a dentist in Orland Hills, IL, that short run keeps routine visits easy to fit into a weekday evening or a Saturday morning.
How often should adults get a dental cleaning?
Most adults do well with a cleaning and exam every six months. People with gum inflammation, heavy tartar buildup or a history of frequent cavities may need visits more often. Our Basic Membership Plan includes two cleanings and two exams a year for $350, which covers the usual schedule without insurance.
What is the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning?
A regular cleaning removes plaque and tartar from healthy gums, mostly above the gumline. A deep cleaning, often called scaling and root planing, reaches below the gums to treat periodontal disease and smooth the root surfaces so the gums can reattach. Your exam and gum measurements show which one you need, and many patients only ever need the regular kind.
What are the early signs of gum disease?
Gums that bleed when you brush or floss are the most common early sign. Redness, swelling, persistent bad breath and gums pulling away from the teeth are others. Gum disease also changes which new-patient offer applies: the $95 cleaning, exam and X-ray is for new patients without insurance and without periodontal disease.
What should I do if a permanent tooth gets knocked out?
Act quickly and handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. Rinse it gently, try to place it back in the socket, or keep it in milk, and call a dentist right away. New patients can book our $49 emergency exam and X-ray, and we strive to fit urgent cases into the schedule.
