"My wife and I are long tenured patients of Dr. Richter and wish him the best in his retirement. We have both transitioned to Dr. Cannon, and we are very pleased. I recently had a procedure with Dr. Cannon and her team and they were great. Having dental work done isn't fun, but necessary, and they do a good job to minimize discomfort. Thank you."

ABOUT RICHTER DENTAL
Not Your Average Dental Office
A forward-thinking practice where your smile, your comfort, your confidence, and your overall well-being are all part of the plan.
Richter Dental was built on the belief that modern dentistry should do more than fill cavities and clean teeth. Your oral health is deeply connected to the way you sleep, the way you age, the way your jaw functions, and the way you feel when you look in the mirror. That's why we've built a practice that addresses all of it: general and restorative dentistry alongside anti-aging treatments, beauty injections, sleep apnea therapy, TMJ care, and two leading clear aligner systems. It's a scope of services you won't find at most dental offices, and it's all available under one roof.
Every service we offer is backed by advanced training, modern technology, and a team that takes the time to understand your goals before recommending a path forward. This is dentistry reimagined, and Merrillville is paying attention.

WHY CHOOSE RICHTER DENTAL?
What Sets Us Apart
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all practice.
WE HAVE THE ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. For patients with obstructive sleep apnea, we offer custom oral appliance therapy, which is a small, comfortable device worn during sleep that repositions your jaw to keep the airway open. It's a proven, non-invasive alternative to CPAP that many patients find more comfortable and easier to use. We'll evaluate your situation and help determine if an oral appliance is the right solution for you.
Can A Dentist Really Help With Sleep Apnea?
We offer Botulinum toxin and dermal fillers, administered by trained dental professionals with deep expertise in facial anatomy. These treatments can smooth fine lines, restore lost volume, relieve jaw tension, and complement cosmetic dental work, all in a single, trusted clinical setting. We'll discuss your goals during a free consultation and recommend the approach that's right for you.
