What the record tells you
Pippin Dental, the trading name of Kool Smiles in-3, PC, is an NPI registry record for a dental organization at 1313 W Chicago Ave in East Chicago, Indiana 46312. CMS issued NPI 1699074633 on 16 March 2011, and the practice last updated its own entry on 22 March 2019. That was 7 years ago, so treat the phone number and the suite number as unconfirmed until someone answers.
It is registered under 3 dental taxonomy codes: Endodontics (1223E0200X), General practice dentistry (1223G0001X), Oral and maxillofacial radiology (1223X0008X). That puts it in 3 categories on this site, led by general dentistry. A practice that registers more than one category is telling CMS it does more than one kind of dental work at this address, which is why it has a page here rather than a row. The same registered name appears at 11 distinct addresses nationally. That is either a group practice or a name common enough that unrelated offices share it, so ask whether pricing is set locally or by a parent company.
East Chicago holds 3 registered dental practices inside the Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN area, which has 280 in total on the Indiana side and ranks 2nd in the state. 3 of the East Chicago records also register general dentistry, so this is one of only a handful of local options in that category. Across the metro the mix runs general dentistry 65.7%, dental clinic or center 21.8%, pediatric dentistry 6.1%. The closest other registered practices are Familia Dental Ec LLC (0.3 miles, East Chicago), Starbright Dental (0.4 miles, East Chicago) and Oak Ridge Dental & Surgery, LLC (1.8 miles, Hammond), with 2 more inside 2.3 miles.
On our figures a routine adult cleaning in Indiana runs $95 to $140 cash and scaling and root planing $165 to $260 per quadrant, against a US average of $125. This practice's own prices are not in the registry and never will be: NPPES holds identifiers, not fees. Call (678) 904-5665 and ask for the cash price on code D1110, whether the exam and X-rays are included, and whether they run a membership plan if you have no insurance.

What to ask when you call
- The cash price for D1110, a routine adult cleaning, and whether the exam (D0120) and X-rays (D0274) are inside or outside that number.
- Whether you need scaling and root planing before a routine clean, and the per-quadrant price for D4341 or D4342 if so.
- Whether they run an in-house membership plan, and what it covers against what it costs a year.
- Whether they are taking new patients and how far out the next hygiene appointment is.
- The practice license, with your state dental board. An NPI is a billing identifier and proves nothing about licensing.
CMS NPPES NPI data file, August 2026, snapshot 10 August 2026. US federal public data (FOIA-disclosable, no charge). CMS NPI files. NPI registry records, status as reported by CMS in the August 2026 data dissemination file. NPPES is an identifier registry, not a license register: an NPI does not validate that a practice is licensed, accredited or currently open. Practices maintain their own NPPES entries. Every page shows the date the record was last updated; addresses and phone numbers are as self-reported and are not verified by us. This page describes a registry record. It is not a review, an endorsement or a check on Pippin Dental.
Price figures are our own, last verified April 2026. State averages are our estimates compiled from FAIR Health regional cost data and CMS Medicare fee schedules; the ADA discontinued its national Survey of Dental Fees in 2023, so no national fee survey exists. Treat them as a starting point and call two or three offices for an actual quote.
