Dr.Chronister is a thorough and professional dentist. I saw him during the Pandemic and his wife (reception desk) wiped everything down from the front door to reception desk and back when you came in and departed. Sanitized top to bottom. He did the mold for my implant, had it made and placed it with care and the upmost consideration for my comfort. He will take care of you and allay any apprehensions you have concerning dental care. Truly a FIVE STAR dentist. read more

Highly recommend Dr Chronister! What a cool guy and wonderful dentist. I was out of my home state visiting family back in Kansas and had an emergency dental situation. We called the doctor on a Saturday morning and he went into his office a few hours later, set everything up, and saw me during a time his office was closed. I was super grateful for his help and willing to see me urgently on a Saturday. I wish I lived in the area so he could be my dentist. If you need a highly skilled dentist, super kind and smart I would recommend him! Thank you doctor! I'm so thankful! read more

From the Business

Specialties

Comfortable, Personal Care Our office is full service for any of your dental needs.

History

Established in 1980.

Dr Chronister has been caring for the dental needs of the downtown Topeka business community since 1985. Our practice also welcomes all family members, from ages two to one hundred and two. Our office is conveniently located near all the major downtown office buildings and businesses, so you don't have to drive across town for a dental appointment. Dr Chronister also always strives to run "on time" so you can wait in your office, not ours. Dr. Chronister's main emphasis and interest is prosthodontics (dentures, partials, crown, bridges, and implants), but offers full dental services to all members of the family.

Meet the Business Owner: Stephen C.

Dr Chronister grew up in the Kansas City area. He attended college at Westminster College, a prestigious private liberal arts school in central missouri, from 1976 to 1980. He graduated Magna cum Laude, was active in campus leadership and was a member of several honor societies. He then attended the UMKC dental school in Kansas City from 1980 to 1984, where he graduated with honors. He worked for a year in Kansas City getting his feet wet in private practice before starting his own practice in Topeka in July of 1985. That same year, he became a member of the American Prosthodontic Society. He attends their two-day continuing education seminar in Chicago every year. Dr Chronister additionally completes over 30 hours of continuing education every year, emphasizing his areas of special interest.

Let's be honest they over book children. You're waiting a significant amount of time. I don't think anybody's ever been called back at their time they take forever. And while I can look past that what I can't look past is the fact that finally after having my children go every six months the moment they said that my youngest had two cavities I thought this can't be true and that my other two children also have cavities. My 5 year old has the best oral health and AMAZING at brushing. So it really caught my concern so what I did is, I went to another dentist in Lawrence today. While my oldest child does have 1 cavity my 9 and 5 year old did not have ANY cavities not even a chip to consider as a cavity! So very interesting how anybody who takes a child to adventure dental they're always saying yep, your child has cavities, I hear it for everyone there getting cleaned. This is fraud and taking advantage of children, and people who have kancare. Will never go back! If you're reading this get a 2nd opinion!

When I asked her doctor's name, it was Dr. Smart. I said, "I know - that is my doctor, too, and I don't blame you." My vision through my glasses are always crip and clear.

They did do that and offered a "sorry for the delay" "apology". Moved on to another Optometrist, ordered the same contacts and received them in 7 business days. What a difference!
