Why Choose Us

Although our dentists are not oral surgeons, they bring more than 50 years of combined experience to every extraction procedure. Our team has performed countless tooth removals, including wisdom teeth extractions, with a gentle and precise approach focused on patient comfort. We use advanced panoramic imaging to evaluate your teeth and jaw without placing bulky equipment inside your mouth. From start to finish, we prioritize making your experience efficient, stress-free, and virtually pain-free.

Our Services

We perform simple and complex tooth extractions using modern technology and advanced techniques to ensure comfortable care. Before treatment begins, we thoroughly numb the area and explain every step so you feel informed and relaxed throughout your appointment. Our office also offers bone grafting and restorative consultations following extraction procedures to help rebuild your smile. Whether you need a single tooth removed or wisdom teeth extracted, our experienced team is here to help.

Rebuild Your Smile With Tooth Replacement Solutions

Removing a tooth is often an important step toward protecting your oral health, but replacing missing teeth is equally important for maintaining function and appearance. After your procedure, our team will help you explore restorative options that support long-term comfort, confidence, and jaw health.

  • Dental Implants - Dental implants replace both the root and crown of a missing tooth for unmatched stability and function. They help preserve jawbone structure while creating a natural-looking smile that feels secure when eating and speaking.
  • Dental Bridges - Bridges fill the gap left by one or more missing teeth using support from nearby teeth or implants. This fixed solution restores chewing ability and helps prevent neighboring teeth from shifting out of alignment.
  • Partial Dentures - Partial dentures provide an affordable and effective way to replace multiple missing teeth. They are custom-made for comfort and designed to blend naturally with your smile.
  • Full Dentures - Full dentures restore an entire upper or lower arch of missing teeth with a removable appliance customized for fit and appearance. Modern dentures offer improved comfort, stability, and a more natural look than ever before.
  • Bone Grafting - If bone loss has occurred after extraction, bone grafting can strengthen the jaw and prepare the area for future dental implants. This treatment helps create a stable foundation for long-term tooth replacement success.

We understand that oral surgery can make patients nervous, which is why we've created an environment designed for comfort and relaxation. Enjoy amenities like complimentary Wi-Fi, Starbucks coffee, warm towels, and cable TV during your visit. Patients who prefer a quieter experience can also request early morning or evening appointments for a more peaceful setting.

Our team is committed to making your care experience as smooth and reassuring as possible. From advanced imaging technology to compassionate support during recovery, we focus on helping you feel comfortable and confident every step of the way.

I absolutely love this office. Everyone I interact with (office ladies, dental hygienists, and the dentist) are friendly and kind. I've had the pleasure of seeing Ann twice now. I feel lucky to be her patient. She is patient and a joy to be around. I have always felt nervous going to the dentist, but with Ann I feel safe and enjoy my time. Her work is amazing - I leave with my teeth feeling clean and smooth. Thanks so much to everyone here, and a special thanks to Ann!

The staff and Dr. Krischke are excellent. All 4 kids and myself all with clean teeth and no cavities. We have gone here since 2017 and I can't imagine going anywhere else. They even saved my son's molar late at night when it was knocked out. We all love coming!
