Convenient Access from Frankfort
Orland Dental Studio is a general dental practice in southwest Orland Park, roughly 23 minutes north of downtown Frankfort by way of La Grange Road. Patients comparing a dentist in Frankfort, IL with one a little farther up US 45 can come to us for Invisalign, cosmetic work and Saturday appointments. Two dentists share the office, and most treatment, from crowns to gum grafts, happens under one roof.
Begin at Frankfort Village Hall on Nebraska Street (US 30) and turn north onto La Grange Road (US 45) almost right away. Follow La Grange north for about 7.5 miles, passing over I-80, then turn west on 159th Street. After about a mile and a half, turn right on 108th Avenue, head north to 143rd Street (IL 7) and turn right. Our door is at 10600 W 143rd St, Orland Park, IL 60462, about 11.4 miles from the start.
The start point sits at the west edge of the historic downtown, home to Breidert Green and the Frankfort Grainery. There are no tolls on this route. Tap through to our Google Maps listing for turn-by-turn directions, and see our pages for nearby Mokena and Eagle Ridge, which sit between Frankfort and our office.
Weekend-Friendly Dental Care for Frankfort Residents
A longer drive deserves smart scheduling. Our Saturday hours run from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, so you can finish a cleaning and still make the afternoon at Breidert Green, where the village holds its farmers market, concerts and art fairs. During the week we stay open until 7:00 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
We also try to make each trip count. When a crown is needed, CEREC lets us design and mill it in the office during the same appointment, so there is no temporary and no second visit. When several teeth need work, we plan the visits so the number of trips stays sensible. Those choices add up when the drive home takes close to half an hour.
Comfort gets the same attention. The dental chairs look out on nature views, where deer and birds sometimes appear, and nitrous oxide can take the edge off a long procedure. For deeper relaxation, oral conscious sedation is available with Dr. Nguyen.
The village carries its history openly. Frederick Cappel named the township after Frankfurt am Main, the railroad arrived in 1855 as "Frankfort Station," and the village incorporated in 1879. The downtown still centers on the Grainery and the paved Old Plank Road Trail, a 22-mile route that links Joliet with Chicago Heights.
The village sits mainly in Will County, with a small piece in Cook County. Neighbors include Mokena and New Lenox on one side and Matteson on the other. La Grange Road is the village's main north-south artery, so the route to our office starts on a road locals already know.
Smile Goals Frankfort Adults Bring to the Chair
With a median age in the early forties, Frankfort has plenty of adults who kept up with checkups for years and now want more from their smile. Some want straighter teeth they skipped as teenagers. Others want to brighten stains or reshape chipped edges before a milestone event.
For those goals, digital smile design lets you preview a plan before any tooth is touched. When the change needs to be more than whitening, porcelain veneers can cover worn, chipped or discolored front teeth. We lean conservative and recommend the least invasive option that will reach your goal.
Gum health matters just as much as appearance. Receding gums can expose the root, cause sensitivity and make teeth look longer. A soft tissue graft can cover exposed roots and protect them, and our soft tissue laser supports precise gum treatment.
Lincoln-Way East High School is known for its athletics, and plenty of Frankfort adults stay active too. A chipped tooth from a pickup game or a fall on the bike trail is exactly the kind of problem restorative care handles. Repairing the damage early keeps a small chip from becoming a crack.
Core Services for Anyone Needing a Dentist in Frankfort, IL
Invisalign®
Clear aligners move teeth gradually and come out for meals. Dr. Badat is a certified Invisalign provider who plans each case from a 3D digital scan. It suits adults who never had orthodontics as kids.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Whitening, veneers and smile design can each fix a different concern. We match the option to the goal and the budget. A consultation shows what is realistic for your teeth.
Soft Tissue Grafting
Grafting restores gum tissue that has pulled back from the teeth. Covering exposed roots can ease sensitivity and protect them from decay. The procedure is done in our office.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, onlays and crowns rebuild teeth after decay or injury. CEREC lets us mill a ceramic crown on site in a single visit. That matters when the drive home is close to half an hour.
Preventative Dentistry
Routine cleanings and exams keep cosmetic work and natural teeth in good shape. Digital wellness scans help us compare changes from visit to visit. These visits fit neatly into a Saturday morning.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Orland Dental Studio from Frankfort, and how do I get there?
It is roughly 11.4 miles from Frankfort Village Hall, about a 23-minute drive. Head north on La Grange Road, west on 159th Street, north on 108th Avenue and east on 143rd Street. Many people who want a dentist in Frankfort, IL households can reach on one familiar highway find this route simple and toll-free.
How much does Invisalign cost with your membership plan?
Premium members pay $4,500 for Invisalign. The Premium tier costs $950 a year and also includes two emergency exams, one premium whitening, 15% off other treatment and 50% off a night guard or retainer. There are no waiting periods or deductibles, so the benefits start as soon as you join.
Can receding gums be repaired?
Often, yes. Gum tissue does not grow back on its own, but a soft tissue graft can cover exposed roots, reduce sensitivity and protect the tooth from root decay. The first step is finding the cause, such as hard brushing, grinding or gum disease, so the recession does not continue after treatment.
Can whitening remove every kind of tooth stain?
No. Whitening works best on surface and age-related stains from coffee, tea or wine. It does not change the color of crowns, veneers or fillings, and some deep internal stains respond poorly. When whitening alone will not give an even result, veneers or a crown on a single dark tooth may be a better fit.
Can I get several treatments done in one visit to save trips?
Often, yes. If you need fillings on more than one tooth, or a cleaning plus a small repair, we can usually combine them into one longer appointment when that is clinically sensible. CEREC crowns are designed, milled and placed in the same visit, which removes the usual second trip. Your treatment plan lays out how many visits to expect.
