Consistent, Compassionate Dentistry

The Manitowoc Family Dental Mission

A stable, long-term relationship with your dentist is crucial for consistent care. You shouldn’t have to reintroduce yourself to a new dentist every few years. You deserve a doctor who knows you and understands your needs. You deserve a dental professional who treats you like a person, not just another number. That dentist is Dr. Jacob Briese.

“Call Me Dr. Jake”

Dr. Jacob Briese was born and raised in Iowa. His appreciation of dentistry started early, as he spent a good deal of time in the dentist’s chair growing up. After studying sculpture and human physiology at the University of Iowa, he decided to dive into the world of dental care, and went on to graduate from the University of Iowa College of Dentistry.

Dr. Jake spent time in several offices, where he formed his own personal philosophy of dentistry. He was tired of seeing doctors come and go, leaving their patients to the care of others. He believes that consistency and continuity of care is crucial to the long-term dental health of his patients. That’s why he’s committed to the longevity of his practice, so he can provide you with quality dental care for years to come.

When he’s not in the office, he loves spending time outdoors with his daughter, and attending community events. He also enjoys live music, traveling, and golfing, as well as 4-wheeling and rock-crawling with his Jeep.

“Call Me Dr. Jon”

Dr. Jon Criter was born and raised in Plymouth, Wisconsin and attended college at University Wisconsin-Madison earning a Biochemistry and History double major. Afterwards, he received his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from Marquette University. Dr. Jon started his career as an active duty United States Navy dentist at Great Lakes Recruiting Station in Chicago, Illinois ensuring the new naval recruits were dentally ready for training. He then was stationed with the Marines at Camp LeJeune on the Atlantic coast in North Carolina. He returns back to Wisconsin with a goal of offering comprehensive dental care under one roof with the latest technology in an environment that is safe and comfortable for you, the patient.

Best dental experience I had my whole adult life!!! Before I went it to get my root canal done, my coworkers kept telling me all this horror story about getting a root canal done. Came back to work right after the procedure, all of them where suprised.Both Dr.Briese and assistant McKenzie went above and beyond.
