Rick S Johns, DDS
At Rick Johns Dental, we have provided the best, most up-to-date family, cosmetic and implant dental care available, in a comfortable, reassuring, and timely manner for over 27 years. Dr. Rick Johns and our team know that by combining the latest technologies and treatment processes with gentle, compassionate care that emphasizes the human connection, we best serve our patients.

Here, we do not accept the assembly-line approach to dentistry.

Along the way, we develop friendships with our patients.
Services
I became a dentist due to the influence and dedicated example of my dad, who was a dentist in the Calumet region for 50 years. I have been practicing dentistry for 27 years, and the ability to change someone's life through quality dental care is very exciting to me, whether I am providing routine care, cosmetic correction, or working with an apprehensive patient.
Rick Johns Dental has been honored to serve the Highland, Munster and surrounding communities for over 27 years, and is dedicated to continuing the tradition of excellence in dentistry started by Dr. John's father, Richard S. Johns, DDS, in 1947. Ours is a friendly, family-oriented practice that believes strongly in the importance of old-fashioned customer service combined with modern dental technology.
Our practice is committed to providing you and your family with safe, gentle, high-quality dental care. We understand that you, or your child, may feel anxious about visiting the dentist. We are sensitive to your needs, and it is our goal to make you feel comfortable visiting our practice while providing the best care possible.
The cost of your treatment will vary depending on your individual needs and treatment plan. We will discuss with you the cost of your treatment and each of your available payment options before you begin, so that you can make the best choice for you. Your smile is yours forever, and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to receive the best dental care when you need it.
If you'd like to share some kind words and smiles, please ask our front desk staff for a comment card at your next appointment. We'd love to hear about your experience! When our family moved to Highland, I used 1-800-DENTIST to find Dr. Rick S. Johns, and I couldn't have made a better choice. Dr. Johns and his staff are friendly and professional, and they provide exceptional dental care for the whole family.

Hands down great dentist and dental hygienist! I have been going here since his dad was the dentist. Great service and very timely and fast. Kelly has been cleaning my teeth for a long time and she is very thorough and informative. They refer you to north west oral surgeons for other work and they are top notch as well! I would have a hard time going anywhere else than Dr. Rick Johns and I hope he never retires!

Six years ago I contacted Dr. Johns office because I was experiencing tooth pain. I had not been to a dentist for over 10 years, and I was nervous and a little embarrassed that I let my dental health deteriorate. Once I arrived at Dr. Johns office the staff (Big thanks to Tina, Cindy and Mia) was friendly, compassionate, and did not pass judgment. Dr. Johns and his team have worked with me over the past several years to get my dental health back to normal. My entire family (wife and children) now see Dr. Johns also, and I highly recommend him to anyone that needs dental care. Don’t neglect your

This has been my dental office for my whole life, and I’ve never had any desire to go elsewhere. Dr. Johns has always been fantastic, and I appreciate his clear explanations about what’s going on with my teeth. In fact, everyone who works here is friendly and competent. Many people in the office have been employed there for years, and I think that speaks to the quality of an establishment.
