Dr. Krista Jones

Krista M. Jones opened her practice in Edmond in 1981 after graduating from the University of Oklahoma, College of Dentistry. In 1990 she moved her office to the Turtle Creek Professional Village Complex. She has built her practice by providing the highest quality dentistry available for a life changing experience for patients and staff.  Dr. Jones is in the top 5% of dentists in Oklahoma for continuing education, and she is in the top 10% of dentists in the nation who have attended the prestigious Las Vegas Institute for Cosmetic and Comprehensive Dentistry. As a trendsetter, Dr. Jones is one of the few dentists in Oklahoma using the Florida Probe, a computer-assisted system to diagnose periodontal health. Each patient suite is equipped with this system that can record the main parameters of a periodontal exam and store them into the patient's files for later comparison. Treatment can begin in the earliest stages of disease often preventing early bone loss and possible surgery.
