Southlake Dental
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.
Services
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.
Whether you need preventive family dental care or it's time to completely makeover your smile, our office is here to help you. We have a wide variety of services to meet all your dental needs. We practice patient-centered, evidence-based dentistry and strongly believe that you are the most important person in our dental practice!
We are proud to offer modern dental technology and techniques to our patients so you can enjoy the most comfortable, efficient, and effective dentistry possible. 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.
Your smile is often one of the first features someone notices when they meet you. Of course, everyone wants beautiful, straight teeth, but some of us need a little extra help achieving the smile of our dreams. Even celebrities rely on cosmetic treatments when it comes to their pearly whites, and chances are, they used veneers to transform their smile from dull to dazzling.
With our professional teeth whitening services, achieving a brighter smile is quick and easy! At Southlake Dental, we know how important your smile is when it comes to your self-confidence. A bright, shiny smile can transform your appearance and change the way you look at yourself in the mirror. To help you achieve the whiter smile you've always wanted, we provide professional teeth whitening services in our Merrillville, IN dental office.

As a former patient of Dr. Deeb’s since I was a a child, I’ve loved seeing all of the familiar and now new faces in the office. Dr Lukasic is very knowledgeable on all of the new technology and takes the time to explain everything thoroughly. Jeanine is and always has been THEE BEST hygienist around! No one compares! Savannah is an amazing assistant and is beyond sweet as is Michelle at the front desk. Coming in is always a great experience!

I've been going here for about a year now, and am extremely happy. Dr. Lukasik is so down to earth when answering my questions, and I've never felt rushed. Cleanings have been thorough and gentle. They have been great dealing with my insurance and keeping me updated with any issues.
