Dr. Jiss Kuruvilla

Dentist - Owner

Dr. Jiss Kuruvilla, who established Cornerstone Dental in 2012, is passionate about creating a welcoming, patient-centered dental practice. She graduated from NYU College of Dentistry in 2001 and spent several years practicing dentistry in Burlington, NJ, and Newtown, PA, before fulfilling her dream of opening her own office.

Dedicated to providing the highest quality care, Dr. Kuruvilla is a Dawson Scholar, having completed a comprehensive year-long residency with the prestigious Dawson Academy. This advanced training has deepened her expertise in comprehensive dentistry, including cosmetic dentistry, the diagnosis and treatment of bite problems, complex TMJ disorders, and restorative cases. She focuses on helping patients achieve beautiful, healthy smiles that support long-term oral health and function.

Known for her gentle, compassionate approach, Dr. Kuruvilla takes the time to understand each patient’s unique needs and concerns. She combines her advanced training with the latest technology to deliver skilled, personalized care in a comfortable environment, treating every patient like a member of her own family.

In December 2024, her lifelong dream of building a family legacy came true when her daughter, Dr. Sarah Sunny, joined Cornerstone Dental. Together, they proudly welcome patients to their newly expanded Yardley office, offering an enhanced dental experience in a modern, state-of-the-art setting.

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Kuruvilla enjoys spending time with her husband, Sathish, cooking, traveling, and cherishing special moments with her granddaughter, Layla.

Dr. Sarah Sunny

Dentist

I am thrilled to be back in the Bucks County area, where I grew up, and to be a part of the family practice alongside my mother, Dr. Jiss Kuruvilla. After graduating from the University of the Pacific with my Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree in 2019, I had the privilege of practicing in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Dallas, Texas. In December 2024, my family and I made the decision to return to Pennsylvania, and I couldn’t be more excited to reconnect with the community and offer the exceptional care that the practice is known for.

With a passion for helping patients feel comfortable and confident, I take a personalized approach to dentistry, ensuring that each individual receives the highest level of care. Whether it’s routine check-ups or more complex procedures, I’m here to guide you
every step of the way.

Outside of the office, I love spending time with my husband Stanley, our daughter Layla, and our husky Bentley. As a family, we enjoy traveling and embracing new experiences, and making memories wherever we go.

I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve the healthy, beautiful smile you deserve!
