Dr. Michael Krischke grew up on the northwest side of Chicago as one of ten children, developing an early appreciation for both craft and science—two passions that led him to pursue a career in dentistry. After graduating from Augustana College in Rock Island, IL, he earned his DDS from the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry.
He began his dental career by opening a practice in northern Illinois, where he practiced for 17 years before meeting his wife. The couple moved to Indiana in 2007, and Dr. Krischke joined our team two years later, in 2009.
Throughout his career, Dr. Krischke has helped countless patients achieve and maintain life-changing smiles. He performs a wide range of dental procedures, including placing and restoring dental implants, extracting teeth, enhancing smiles through orthodontics, providing facial rejuvenation treatments such as Juvéderm®, and restoring function and beauty with dental crowns, bridges, and dentures.
"I feel as though I get along with my patients because I truly care," he explains. "I listen. I put myself in their position, and with understanding and compassion, I work with them to achieve their dental goals. By listening and showing concern, I can make the experience as comfortable as possible—for both adults and children. I enjoy taking a broken-down mouth and transforming it into something both the patient and myself can be proud of."
Dr. Krischke lives in Crown Point, where he enjoys cheering on the Chicago Cubs and Chicago Blackhawks, traveling, dining out, and spending quality time with his loved ones.
