Convenient Access from Deer Point
Deer Point households can be in a dental chair at Orland Dental Studio about 11 minutes after leaving the driveway, nearly all of it on one road through Orland Park. If you need a dentist near Deer Point for root canals, crowns or regular cleanings, a single straight run up 108th Ave brings you to our door on 143rd St.
Deer Point is a group of single-family subdivisions in the southern part of Orland Park. Deer Point Estates lies east of 108th Ave, with Deer Point II and Deer Point III to the west, all south of 167th St and east of Wolf Rd. Most of the homes went up between the mid-1990s and the mid-2000s.
From Deer Point Estates Park, follow Deer Creek Dr to Deer Point Dr and head east to 108th Ave. Turn left and stay on 108th Ave north for about 3.8 miles, crossing 159th St and running past the west side of Crystal Tree. At 143rd St, turn right and go about 0.2 miles east to 10600 W 143rd St. Count on roughly 4.3 miles and 11 minutes from start to finish.
Just east of the subdivisions, Orland Grassland stretches from 167th St to 179th St between 104th Ave and La Grange Rd, a Cook County preserve with grassland-bird habitat and trails for hiking and biking. I-80 marks the village's southern border not far below. Our Google Maps listing has directions from any address, and our pages for Eagle Ridge and Orland Hills cover the closest neighbors.
Why Deer Point Residents Make the Drive North
An 11-minute drive is close enough to be routine but far enough that people want each trip to count. That is how our office approaches care for families from the south end of the village. We try to diagnose clearly, finish as much as possible in one visit and avoid sending you elsewhere for the next step.
A lot stays under one roof here. Root canals, extractions, implants and grafting are handled in-house, and crowns are designed and milled on site with CEREC. One trip up 108th Ave can cover what might otherwise take two offices.
The setting is part of the appeal, too. The treatment chairs have nature views, and deer and birds sometimes appear outside, a fitting sight for patients who live beside a grassland preserve. It is a calm way to spend a longer appointment.
Hours help with the planning. We are open until 7 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays and see patients on Saturdays from 9 AM to 2 PM. Fridays close at 5 PM, and Wednesdays at 2 PM.
Roughly a quarter of Orland Park households include children. Parents tend to juggle several calendars, so a predictable drive with no tollway and no expressway merge is easier to plan around than it sounds.
Catching Problems Early in Deer Point Homes
Many dental problems give little warning. A cracked molar or a deep cavity can sit quietly for months, then flare up on a Sunday night. Regular exams are the best defense, and so is paying attention to small signs like lingering cold sensitivity or a sore spot when you bite.
Our digital wellness scans make those small signs easier to see. The 3D optical impressions let us zoom in on worn edges, hairline cracks and gum changes, then compare them at your next visit. You see the same images we do.
When a cavity has grown too large for a simple filling but the tooth does not need a full crown, an inlay or onlay is a middle path. Inlays and onlays rebuild only the damaged part of the tooth, preserving more of the natural structure.
Clenching and grinding are another quiet problem, often showing up as flattened edges, chipped corners or a sore jaw in the morning. A custom night guard protects the enamel while you sleep. Members on our Premium plan receive 50% off one night guard or retainer, which helps if more than one person in the house needs one.
And if something does break or ache without warning, call us first. Our office is highly accommodating for same-day and emergency care, and we strive to fit you into the schedule with an emergency dental exam.
Treatment From a Dentist Near Deer Point
Root Canal Therapy
A root canal removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth so you can keep it. Root canals are treated in our office, and Dr. Nguyen has training in endodontics.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, crowns, inlays and onlays repair damage and restore a comfortable bite. CEREC crowns are milled in the office, saving you a second drive.
Preventative Dentistry
Exams, cleanings and screenings every six months keep surprises to a minimum. They are the visits that make every other kind of treatment less likely.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth cannot be saved, removing it cleanly protects the teeth around it. We also plan the next step, whether that is an implant, a bridge or simply monitoring the space.
Dental Sedation
Nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation help patients who dread the dentist or need a longer procedure. Oral sedation is provided by Dr. Nguyen in our office.
Meet Your Orland Park Dental Team
Much of the surgical and root canal work is handled by Dr. Christopher Nguyen, DMD, whose training covers endodontics, oral surgery and implant dentistry. Founder Dr. Ibraahim Badat brings a proactive, conservative philosophy that favors catching and treating problems early.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Orland Dental Studio from Deer Point, and how do I get there?
Our office is about 4.3 miles from Deer Point, around an 11-minute drive. From the subdivision, take 108th Ave north all the way to 143rd St and turn right. Since nearly the whole trip is one road, reaching a dentist near Deer Point here is about as simple as a drive gets.
What does an emergency exam cost for a new patient?
It costs $49 for new patients, and that includes the x-ray. The exam lets us find the source of the pain or damage and lay out your options before any treatment begins. Call as soon as a problem starts, since we strive to fit emergency exams into the schedule.
How much extra time should I allow for a late-afternoon appointment?
Add a cushion of several minutes beyond the usual 11. The roads near our office, including 143rd St, slow down at rush hour, so the free-flowing trip you make at midday will run longer at 5:00 PM. If timing is tight, a Saturday morning or a midday slot avoids most of that traffic.
Can a tooth that needs a root canal be saved instead of pulled?
Often it can. A root canal clears the infected or inflamed pulp from inside the tooth, seals it and lets you keep your natural tooth, usually topped with a crown. Dr. Nguyen has training in endodontics, and root canal therapy is done right here in our office.
What is a digital wellness scan, and does it replace impressions?
Yes, it takes the place of traditional putty impressions. A digital wellness scan is a 3D optical impression of your teeth and gums, captured with a scanner instead of a tray. The scan gives us a detailed record for tracking small changes in wear or gum health from one visit to the next.
