Dr. Jay W. Chrisman is a Bloomington native - the third generation of Chrisman dentists in Bloomington. He is a graduate of Bloomington High School, Lake Forest College, and the University of Illinois School of Dentistry. Following graduation, he served a tour duty as a dental officer in the United States Navy and returned to Bloomington in 1976 to open a new dental office with his father, Robert A. Chrisman.
Dr. Jay loves his job! He loves it when patients tell him, "This is the first time that I've been to the dentist that I didn't feel anything." And he especially enjoys turning ordinary smiles or less than ordinary smiles into beautiful smiles. He decided that he loves cosmetic dentistry so much that he really wanted to excel in the art of making people happy with their smiles. He completed a difficult training program and is now very proud to say he is one of 225 dentists in the world that has earned accreditation status from the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
Dr. Jay is married and has three children. He is a sports enthusiast and is very active in the community, having served on the boards of The Children's Foundation, Second Presbyterian Church, and Bloomington-Normal Cursillo. He is a member of the local, state, and national dental societies. Dr. Jay and his staff look forward to meeting you, getting to know you, and working with you for many years to come.
