Dr. Thomas A. Kriss, DDS

I was referred to Dr. Kriss when I first moved here. I have had a total of 10? Teeth extractions, and I am pleased greatly with the results. He and his staff are amazing! Fast friendly service no matter what dental work your needing. This is the place to go for sure. Keep up the great work & a Merry Christmas!

Dr. Kriss and his staff are AMAZING! My young children have told me they LIKE to come here and I have had an incredible experience with his care so far. Having been to 3 other dentist for extractions this is the FIRST time I’ve had a completely pain free extraction. Thank you so much Dr. Kriss!

We took both of our small children here. Dr. Kriss is great about making sure the kids are comfortable and not pushing them too much. All the staff is super friendly! We love it here!

All the staff were super friendly and did a wonderful job for my cleaning/x-rays! They have a wonderful affordable plan for people who don’t have insurance also! They got all my appointments set up quickly/got me in next day. Highly recommend Dr. Kriss and his team!

Dr. Kriss does an amazing job. His technical skill is exemplary. Moreover, he is gentle in his work and has an amazing bedside manner. He maintains the latest equipment and provides excellent products. His staff is welcoming and friendly. I do not have to wait for any length of time when I visit his office. Dr. Kriss also responds to after hours emergencies. I am a physician, so I am very particular about my health care. I recommend Dr. Kriss to both my family and my own patients without reservation.

You can see here the tooth I broke off fairly close to the base on Saturday. Dr. Kriss was able to place a crown for me on Monday. He made the crown in his office using state of the art technology. I was but pleased and impressed with the results.

We have been in Emporia for a year, and during this time, we slowly re-established all of our medical care entities. In our previous town, we were very consistent with dental care but hesitated to commit to someone new until we had more information. After talking to locals and doing online research, I called Dr. Kriss's office and scheduled appointments for each family member. Every phone interaction I had regarding our appointments was pleasant. When I filled out some forms incorrectly, I called, and the office staff checked our insurance coverage and updated our records without issue.

Dentist appointments can be anxiety-inducing, but Dr. Kriss and the staff fostered a laid-back and professional environment. I felt more comfortable on our first visit to Dr. Kriss than on our last visit to our dentist in our previous town. They were great with my children, showed genuine interest in our family, and were attentive to our concerns. It was also apparent that the office is a good balance of business and fun. Dr. Kriss showed the kids some yo-yo tricks and played a short tune on the ukulele. This visit was one of the best "firsts" we have had in the Emporia area. I highly recommend Dr. Kriss's office for a professional and friendly dentist.

I first went to Dr. Kriss roughly 15 years ago and now my entire family is under his care. Friendly and extremely knowledgeable, Dr. Kriss takes the time to explain your dental options. His work is exceptional, his staff utilizes state of the art equipment, and most of all he's excellent at pain management. Whether you need emergency, cosmetic or preventative care, there's no one else I'd recommend or trust more with my oral health.

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!

I started going to see Dr. Kriss and the staff about a year and a half ago. Prior to that I had not been to a dentist in 5+ years so I had some “dental anxiety”. I had two missing teeth right next to my top two front teeth that really hurt my confidence but the process seemed very overwhelming so I was just going to keep ignoring the issue pretty much.

From the beginning the whole staff was very enthusiastic and helpful to make me feel comfortable. They laid out the plan for the next year while we worked towards the implants. There were a few steps along the way but I was met with a smiling and encouraging staff the whole time. I always knew what was going on (one of the most annoying things is when doctors speak about you but not TO you) and never felt anxious or uncomfortable in their care.

Now I have a full smile and I can feel the impact it has had on me every day. I can smile without worrying about the 2 prominent holes being seen and I can laugh without feeling the need to cover my mouth. It has been an amazing life improvement and now I catch myself winking at myself in the mirror smiling and doing finger guns ;)

Dr. Kriss has been amazing for my MIL! And, he was able to squeeze me in last minute at the same time as her when I couldn't get into my normal dentist in another county to fix my front tooth when it broke off (it had been rebuilt 15-16 years ago). Very grateful for all he has done for her and for me! He's great, his staff is great, the office is very clean. Overall, highly recommend!

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.

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.

Dr. Kriss and his team have always been professional and friendly. Dr. Kriss's puts120% into his work. I have been using his office for years and never had an issue. He is thorough, explains everything, and the office is super clean. Everyone who works there has a great sense of humor and makes you feel welcome.

After not having been to a dentist for years I was so nervous to finally go again, and to a new one at that. Dr. Kriss was recommended by some friends and I’m so glad! I’ve had three visits in the last couple months for cleanings and fillings and I’ve never felt more comfortable in the dental chair. And it feels like everyone just knows me! I appreciate being walked through every step, I really value that.

Dr. Kriss has always gone above and beyond for any dental emergency as well as my families normal visits! I will always highly recommend!! I have never had pain and his office cares so much about their patients 🌸

A great big thank you to Dr Kriss and his employees. I called on Monday and explained my dire situation and they were able to work me in on Tuesday! I had previously been his patient 7 years ago but had moved from the area and I had changed to another dentist. Amazingly, he still remembered me and happily accepted me back! I have found him to be both a highly skilled professional and a very caring person! Great service at very reasonable prices! I’ll drive the 1 1/2 hours it takes to be his patient again!

Dr. Kriss and his staff are very gentle, kind and thorough. My cleanings and any work that I have needed done have been painless and easy. As someone who has a fear of dental work in general, I feel completely comfortable having my work done in this office. I highly recommend their office!

Dr. Kriss is so caring and willing to go above and beyond to make my smile perfect! I wanted some cosmetic dentistry done and he gave me all the options and offered his sincere opinion on the best option! 10/10 recommend!!

Dr Kriss is an amazing dentist! On the website it mentions that Dr. Kriss goes the extra mile; however, that vastly understates how far he will go to care for people. We cannot describe how appreciative we are for his care, compassion, and expertise.

Moreover, he describes what needs to be done and is comfortable making referrals when an oral surgeon might be a good option.

His "bedside" manner is pleasant, friendly, and unassuming. Along with his outstanding listening skills, experience, and technique all of this makes an amazing dentist!

I went in for a cavity and it turns out I just have a sensitive tooth. But Dr. Kriss took the time to go over every X-ray and the pictures of all my teeth. I’ve never learned so much about my mouth or had a dentist that cared enough to teach me. The staff was so welcoming and sweet as can be. As a new patient, I could not have asked for a better experience!!!
