Why Choose Us

Our dentists bring more than five decades of combined experience to every extraction procedure we perform. Although we are not oral surgeons, we have successfully completed countless tooth removals and wisdom teeth extractions with precision and care. We use panoramic imaging technology to evaluate your teeth and jaw comfortably while creating an accurate treatment plan. Every step of your procedure is focused on helping you feel calm, informed, and comfortable.

Our Services

We provide simple and surgical tooth extractions for patients dealing with decay, infection, crowding, or damaged teeth. Before treatment begins, we carefully numb the area and explain the process thoroughly so you know exactly what to expect. Our office also offers bone grafting and consultations for replacing missing teeth after extraction. From wisdom teeth to advanced restorative planning, we help patients protect their long-term oral health.

Restore Strength & Stability After Tooth Removal

When a tooth is removed, restoring the area quickly can help maintain your bite, appearance, and jaw health. Our team will guide you through restorative options that fit your goals, budget, and long-term needs. We focus on solutions that improve both function and confidence after extraction.

  • Dental Implants - Implants replace missing teeth with a strong titanium post and custom restoration that look and function naturally. They also stimulate the jawbone to help prevent future bone loss.
  • Dental Bridges - Bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to surrounding teeth or implants. This option restores chewing ability and helps keep your smile properly aligned.
  • Partial Dentures - Partial dentures are removable restorations designed to replace several missing teeth while blending naturally with your existing smile. They provide an affordable and reliable replacement option.
  • Full Dentures - Full dentures replace all teeth on the upper or lower arch with a customized prosthetic appliance. Modern dentures are designed for improved fit, comfort, and appearance.
  • Bone Grafting - Bone grafting helps strengthen areas of the jaw that have weakened after tooth loss or extraction. This treatment often prepares the mouth for successful future implant placement.

We understand that many patients feel anxious before oral surgery, so we provide thoughtful comforts throughout your visit. Relax with free Wi-Fi, cable TV, Starbucks coffee, and warm towels while our team focuses on making your experience as stress-free as possible. Patients seeking a quieter atmosphere may also schedule appointments during early morning or evening hours.

Our goal is to help you feel comfortable from consultation through recovery. With advanced imaging, experienced care, and personalized attention, we make oral surgery easier and more reassuring than many patients expect.

Call J Michael Krischke DDS at 219-641-3422 today to schedule your consultation for oral surgery near St. John and take the next step toward a healthier, more complete smile.

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!
