WELCOME to my practice! A little about me: In junior high, after spending time with my uncle, Dr. Jay Kriss, DDS, I decided I wanted to become a dentist. Until leaving home to attend University of Kansas, I worked on the family farm in western Kansas. While I truly enjoyed my farming experience, my artistic side and love of biology again led me to dentistry, which, strangely, has proven to be a great mixture of both. Following KU, I went to the University of Nebraska Dental School in Lincoln and bought my practice in Emporia after graduating. I enjoy playing the guitar and surfing, among other things. I am fortunate to be married to the best friend I've ever had, Michelle. We have three wonderful children, Tayler, Tessa and Emary. I look forward to providing you with the best dental experience possible!

Outstanding.... It took me about a week to get used to my new dentures and now that I have a smile and learned how to eat with them I'm so appreciative of the Kriss team...thank you! :)

I'm here for college and my dentist is located in Topeka. I needed to have a tooth extracted and was nervous to go to a new dentist, but Dr. Kriss and his staff were extremely kind and accommodating. Dr. Kriss gave me detailed information on my teeth and professional advice on what steps to take. The extraction procedure was painless and Dr. Kriss talked to me the whole time about what he was doing and made me as calm as possible. He's awesome. Everyone in the office always has a smile on their face and everyone seemed like they genuinely cared about me and my teeth. I'll definitely be back! Thanks Dr. Kriss.

Kriss Dentistry is an absolute asset to the Emporia community. I had a problem on Monday and they went above and out of their way to fit me in on Wednesday to help me get it fixed. I met some very kind, patient, and knowledgeable people at my visit. I will definitely be a return customer. Thanks, Team Kriss!

Dr. Kriss has shown caring, patience, and perseverance. It has been a long process but I wouldn't want to do it with any other dentist. The staff is just off the charts.

Dr. Kriss is awesome! Chipped an upper front tooth on a Wednesday afternoon and he had it all fixed up for me on Thursday. The staff is wonderful and welcomed me with a smile. Thank you for giving me my smile back.

We LOVE Dr Kriss and his staff they are ALWAYS so KIND and welcoming as soon as we walk in the door. My kids ( age rang 3-13) LOVE getting thier teeth cleaned and watching Dr Kriss do his Yo-yo tricks for them. He doesn't make anything scary for them and always is honest and upfront with them on what's going on. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

This is a fantastic dentist office. It was my first visit here ever and I came in to talk about getting veneers put on my front teeth. Instead of taking advantage of me and my money, Dr. Kriss gave me a much cheaper option and was able to tell that who ever did my teeth before hand did not do them correctly or efficiently. Instead of making me come back a week later he made the decision to go ahead and take care of all my needs in one visit. They also have great atmosphere, that is very engaging with their patients. Definitely a 10/10 from me and will definitely be continuing to use their services in the future!

After several years of not being able to go to the dentist I was very anxious about the whole process but Dr. Kriss and his whole staff made me feel very welcome and informed me about everything they were doing. After the initial exam I had a cleaning and X-ray and then a few weeks later I acquired my dentures to fill some holes in my smile I have had since I was about 12 years old (23 now). Overall they were extremely kind, efficient, and have greatly improved my confidence to smile.

We recently switched dentists and were very, very pleased. The whole office is friendly and welcoming from the moment you walk in. Michelle and Ashley are always there with a smile to greet you. The hygienists are GREAT with my kids, even when they're acting a little rowdy. Dr. Kriss is VERY thorough and does a great job. We always leave very satisfied.

Our son (9 years old) had (what we thought was) a bad toothache, and asked us to take him to see Dr. Kriss, "because I need him to fix this" (he's never had dental work done before, only cleanings). Come to find out, his permanent tooth was coming in, but the baby tooth hadn't fallen out yet, and something was pushing on a nerve. Dr. Kriss ended up pulling the tooth; he numbed everything so well that our son felt absolutely nothing, and was back to being himself a couple of hours later, proud to show everyone his tooth (huge!) and gaping hole in his gum... Dr. Kriss explained everything throughout the process; our son was never scared, and didn't feel a thing, and thinks Dr. Kriss is "the best dentist". Our family agrees - we can't thank Dr. Kriss and his team enough for the great care they provide!
