Meet Our Team
Dr. Daniel Klauer, DDS
Dr. Daniel Klauer is on a mission to help people sleep better, breathe better, and live without chronic pain. As Clinical Director of LūM (TMJ · Sleep · Kids · Brain), he has created a space where specialists collaborate — bringing together Dentists, Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, and Therapists under one roof — to provide real, lasting solutions for those living with TMJ disorders, airway dysfunction, sleep-related conditions, and beyond.
His journey began at the University of Notre Dame, where he competed as a varsity golfer before earning his dental degree from The Ohio State University College of Dentistry. He is board-certified in both Craniofacial Pain and Dental Sleep Medicine, and has built a national reputation for integrating cutting-edge diagnostics with genuinely compassionate care. Dr. Klauer lectures across the country, exploring advanced treatment modalities at the forefront of craniofacial pain and sleep medicine.
What started as a focused TMJ and sleep practice has naturally grown into something far greater. LūM now encompasses pediatric airway and facial development, brain health, and performance optimization — and will continue to advance as the science does. Dr. Klauer works daily onsite alongside a multidisciplinary team, ensuring every patient benefits from both his clinical leadership and the collective expertise surrounding them.
That commitment is deeply personal. All five of his children have received the same type of early interventional care that LūM provides — intercepting the very breathing, sleep, and pain patterns that he and his wife had to have corrected as adults. It is a testament to what he believes most: that the right treatment at the right time changes the entire trajectory of a life.
When he steps away from the clinic, Dr. Klauer is skiing a steep run, grinding through a long ride, or out on a trail. More often than not, he is exactly where he wants to be — at the dinner table with his wife and five kids, fully present, fully alive.
We’re proud to serve Northern Indiana with two convenient locations designed to deliver exceptional care close to home.
