Philadelphia Magazine’s Top Dentist
3 YEARS IN ROW
Dear Rittenhouse Smiles Patient,
We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety.
Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice and you may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable. We want to tell you about the infection control procedures we follow in our practice to keep patients and staff safe.
Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued. We do this to make sure that our infection control procedures are current and adhere to each agencies’ recommendations.
You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. For example:
- Our office will communicate with you beforehand to ask some screening questions. You’ll be asked those same questions again when you are in the office.
- We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter the office. You will also find some in the reception area and other places in the office for you to use as needed.
- You may see that our waiting room will no longer offer magazines, and so forth, since those items are difficult to clean and disinfect.
- Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients. That might mean that you’re offered fewer options for scheduling your appointment.
- It is to our advantage that we’ve always been a small dental practice thus only scheduling one patient per hour. Please know, we will be enforcing this. If emergencies call us and we need to see you then we will attempt to make arrangements to see you before the day starts or after the day ends to accommodate our emergencies and to keep everyone safe.
Our Grand Re-Opening will be Tuesday May 26, 2020. We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice. To make an appointment, please call our office at 215-732-8080 or schedule an appointment online.
Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends.
Sincerely,
Dr. Cronin, Dr. Zangaladze, Shalu, Janann, Jillian & Shaun

Dr. Cronin and Janann made getting a few fillings so easy! They were very personable and knowledgeable and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. Definitely one of the best and most attentive dental practices I've ever been to!

This is truly the best dentist office I have ever been to. I’ve had a lot of work done on my teeth starting at a young age and I truly have never felt so cared about before. Rittenhouse Smiles goes above and beyond to take care of your every little need. They are unbelievably kind and offer so many different resources to help you feel comfortable. I never thought I would I ever say this.. but I actually enjoy going to the dentist now. 10/10

I cannot say enough great things about this place. I am admittedly terrified of the dentist after multiple poor experiences, but not anymore. Everyone here is so friendly and knowledgable. Dr. Cronin is efficient, but doesn’t make it feel rushed. They take extra care in their patients and not once have I felt like it’s just a revolving door of people. Not to mention, Wilson is an all star 🙂

I will honestly say that I LOVE everyone who is part of the Rittenhouse Smiles team! I am someone who hates the dentist and the ladies at Rittenhouse Smiles go beyond the call to make sure I am comfortable. I feel like I am among friends when I have a visit. If you are like me and need comfort along with great dental work, please don't hesitate to visit Rittenhouse Smiles. They are truly the best. Oh! And there is an in office service dog named Wilson!!!!!!!!!

Rittenhouse Smiles is the best dentist in Philly. I went to a lot of places and had quite poor experiences before being referred by a colleague here. Not only do they offer wine for appts later in the afternoon, but also a service dog for sitting in laps during the dentists checks and cavity fillings, etc. Couldn’t recommend this place enough.

I don't typically do reviews... BUT.. as a business owner I recognise when another business goes out of their way to provide a service. Rittenhouse Smiles is that type of business. My only regret is not making them my go-to dentist a long time ago. The work they have done for not only me but my entire family is valued .... The work they did recently in Providing a state of the art whitening procedure is unbelievable...... Thank you Rittenhouse Smailes... i can smile again.

I can’t begin to say how grateful I am to have found Dr. Cronin and team at Rittenhouse Smiles. From Shalu at the front desk to especially Jillian, the dental hygienist, everyone is friendly, professional, and caring. I have a lot of anxiety surrounding dentist appointments and I can’t tell you how wonderful these women are. Dr. Cronin explains everything in a way I can understand and takes her time to answer questions. I cannot recommend this practice enough!

Dr. Cronin's practice and her team changed my life in the best ways. Years ago I was told I would require surgery to alleviate jaw pain and I did everything possible to avoid it. After meeting Dr. Cronin and working with her on several issues she helped me realize I needed to do what was best for my health. She knew the best team for the job and 6 months later I can say it was the best thing to happen to me. With her help I don't have to worry about being in pain constantly or worry about what the next dental crisis will be.Dr. Cronin and her wonderful team are proof that finding the right dental team can change your life and there's never a reason to be afraid of the dentist!Special shout out to Jillian for being the best hygienist!

This is my second review but I had to! Dr. Z and Shauneice took care of me today and just wow. True professionals in terms of taking care of my filling so efficiently and simultaneously making me feel so at ease. Shauneice is just the kindest, most patient person. She eased me through getting my whitening trays and made me laugh along the way. I love this practice and honestly look forward to when I have an appointment!!!

I’ve been a patient at this practice for almost 30 years Through name and dentist changes, it’s still the best dental practice in the city. I recommend this place to all my friends. Top notch service from receptionist to hygienist (love Jillian, she’s the best). They keep me smiling in more ways than one!!

In my profession as an orthodontist, I have the opportunity to work with many general dentists for collaborative treatment with our mutual patients. I would like to say that Dr Cronin is one of the most compassionate practitioners I have the pleasure of working with. She earnestly cares about the well-being and comfort of her patients and has the clinical expertise to give them first quality dentistry to ensure they have optimum oral health!

Unless you go to Rittenhouse Smiles, you won’t know what it’s like to experience no pain at a dentist. The staff, professional, kind, personable. The office, bright, clean. Dr. Cronin, excellent. I had a mouth full of cavities, I did not take care of my mouth or teeth. Dr. Cronin saved my entire mouth and teeth! Dr. Z, wonderful. Jill the dental tech, amazing! I now happily go in for cleanings. My teeth are great! It is a positive experience now going to the dentist, well, going to Rittenhouse Smiles, thank you Dr. Cronin & Staff!

Ever since we found Dr Cronin at a street fair during Philly PRIDE, we have been so impressed with the services, care, and professionalism of the medical staff. Dr Cronin is efficient and always puts the patient in control. The staff are friendly and know who you are every time you walk in the door. They work with your insurance company and make accommodations where they can. I recommend Dr Cronin to everyone I know in Philly.

I cannot enough about how pleasant my experience at Rittenhouse Smiles was . My husband and I are new patients, since our dentist retired .The entire staff was wonderful . I worked in the dental field for 30 years , so I think I know enough to say this office is awesome.I know many people are concerned about Covid and returning to routine health visits. I have to say I felt as safe at Rittenhouse Smiles as I do in my own home.Their safety procedures during this difficult time was A++. It was impossible to see their smiles with all the protective wear , but you felt their smiles in their voices.

I hadn't gone to a dentist for over 20 years. I lucked out and found them by doing research online for the best dentist. I came across Rittenhouse Smiles and called and came in for a talk. Dr. Cronin and her entire staff are TOP professionals. Put me at ease.I can control how it goes and how much discomfort. I got started with Jill deep cleaning my teeth, Dr. Z's shots of no-pain, and Dr. Cronin basically did the finest work I've ever seen. I go back now for polishing, and then go in for checkups. My teeth are saved, I chew on both sides, and I was educated on how to keep my teeth clean. I can't thank them enough! So worth it!!

Very clean office with high standards. They take the time to explain what they find and how they can fix it. Rittenhouse Smiles has motivated me to take my oral health as seriously as my physical fitness. And I love a good workout.

I was referred here by a friend and I can say with certainty that I will never go anywhere else. Every single staff member is friendly, knowledgeable, and full of compassion. They offer you noise canceling headphones, sunglasses, stress balls, and words of encouragement. Whenever I had a question or raised a concern I was met with sincere and digestible responses. Dr. Z even gave me a call after an appointment to check on how I was doing. I used to hate going to the dentist but Rittenhouse Smiles has made it a painless experience. I could not recommend it enough.

The best dentist experience I’ve ever had. Dr. Cronin and her team live up to the great reviews Wonderful service, wonderful care, and an efficient practice. She will do what’s best for you, and her dog Wilson is a wonderful bonus! Best part: they do not ask you to leave a Google review. A lot of these practices where the reviews are very high, I later find out it’s because the practices are actively asking you to leave a review. Not in this case and they deserve it!

From the second you walk through the door, you sense something is different! A vibrant, warm, welcoming and comforting feeling immediately comes over you. I was greeted by a friendly, smiling office receptionist who helped me navigate my insurance needs, she was very knowledgeable and made this process very easy.I was impressed that I was immediately taken back for my treatment, honestly, it’s the first time visiting a doctors office that I sensed they had an appreciation for my time and schedule.My dental hygienist Jill, took the time to educate me while cleaning my teeth and was very gentle. I loved the warm colors of the treatment room & certainly the large windows framing the Philadelphia skyline, helped relax any anxiety I had.I later returned for a filling, Dr. Cronin & her assisant were wonderful. They educated me on my dental procedure and what was going to take place. The process was very fast, comfortable and most important, painless. I did require an additional procedure that required a specialist...... Dr. Cronin immediately was able to text another doctor & schedule me that needed appointment a day later. WHAT REALLY SURPRISED ME.....was the follow up call I later received that evening from Dr. Cronin, she called to check on my procedure and make sure I had no complications or discomfort.....wow when does that ever happen anymore!?!!??Rittenhouse Smiles CARES, listens and provided me the medical support from top to bottom that I needed. I look forward to a long and loyal relationship with my new found friends:)PS - when is the last time you arrive to a lobby featuring candles, free coffee and WINE if you’d like. My treatment room housed a TV with my name on it welcoming me that day. I was offered Bose headphones containing music of my choice. My experience ended with a HOT, Lavender towel treatment.......for a minute I thought I was finishing a spa day or dinner at the Capital Grill.....nice touch ladies:)

I've had great experiences at Rittenhouse Smiles. They listen to my concerns and are honest with me about what is reasonable to expect for my teeth. And they don't push me to get extra dental work done (as I have been at other practices). Five stars and two thumbs up.

Rittenhouse Smiles is THE best dentist you can find in Philadelphia. I stumbled upon them through my insurance website and ask myself every day how I got so lucky. Each team member works hard to ensure you feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire experience including Dr. Cronin. Dr. Cronin called me around 10PM the night I had a cap replaced just to see how I was doing. I usually can't even get my teeth cleaned without laughing gas to calm me down but, I don't even need it here. The service here is UNMATCHED! Please check them out!

I have been going here for over a year and I could not be happier with my experience with Rittenhouse Smiles. Dr. Cronin, Dr. Z and the entire staff are beyond friendly and are the most accommodating group I know.As a young professional it can be difficult to schedule appointments, but with Rittenhouse Smiles I have found that scheduling my appointments is easy.In addition to the service, the actual dental service is fantastic. I have been going for my semi-annual cleanings and it is always a pleasure to see them and get work done. I have had a few cavities filled and the process was as smooth as it could be.The folks here are always available and will help in anyway they can to make sure you are doing well and have all your questions/concerns answered.I recommend Rittenhouse Smiles to all my colleagues/friends.

My front tooth painfully sheared off while dining. I immediately began searching online for help. I found Dr. Cronin’s site, and I loved the practice philosophy that Rittenhouse Smiles espoused. Though the office was soon closing for the evening, Dr. Cronin generously offered to wait so that I could come in and be assessed. From the moment I entered and was greeted by Dr. Cronin’s colleagues Janann and Shaunice, I knew I had chosen the right practice. Everyone was so kind, gentle, gracious, efficient and professional. Everything was done to make me feel comfortable and relaxed. Dr. Cronin assessed the situation and advised me of my options. I chose a veneer. Dr. Cronin took several images of my surrounding teeth and enclosed a piece of my broken tooth for color matching at the lab. She then applied a temporary of veneer, so I could go about my life looking normal until my veneer was fashioned. Dr. Cronin‘s assistant then provided me with some temporary cement and explained instructions as to what I should do in the event that the temporary fell off, which it never did.A few days later, my daughter found that she needed to have an inflamed wisdom tooth extracted. Unfortunately, she was soon returning back to university and time was in short supply. Every dentist office that I called could not see her for at least two weeks. On the off chance that she might have a recommendation, I texted Dr. Cronin. She immediately replied with the name of a dentist. I called the recommended provider for an appointment, and when I told them that I’ve been referred by Dr. Cronin, they immediately found space for my daughter. My daughter had an appointment two days later and the extraction was done just three days later by Dr. Khanna who is an excellent practitioner at Jefferson should you ever need dental surgery.Back to my situation. I returned in for the fitting of the new tooth. Dr. Cronin was not happy with the color and curvature of the veneer. She took more pictures of my mouth and called my prior dentist to determine what lab he had used and what color he used. She apologized, but told me that she wanted the tooth to be better than very good and as close to perfect as possible. I had experienced no trouble from the temporary, and I wanted to tooth to look as organic as possible, so I was more than willing to wait a bit longer to have things perfected.When I returned for the next visit, the tooth was flawless and identical to my neighboring teeth in every aspect. It was as if my tooth had never been broken. The veneer fit was perfect as well, and it felt utterly organic immediately. In short, my small nightmare was handled with skill, grace and, ease by Dr. Cronin and her colleagues.Having had such a happy experience, I asked if I could schedule a cleaning. Shalu the amazing office manager arranged an appointment. Jill the hygienist took such good care of me and gave me the most thorough yet gentle cleaning I have ever experienced. She is the first dental hygienist ever to explain to me that we need to floss behind our last tooth as well. At the end of my cleaning I was given the most beautiful TSA approved pouch containing toothpaste, toothbrush, mouthwash and floss to take home.Dr. Cronin and her colleagues all possesses impeccable talent, grace, kindness, empathy, and charm.

I am SO happy I chose Rittenhouse Smiles to be my new home for dental care. The atmosphere is cool and eclectic—a refreshing change from the sterile environment you usually find in most dental offices. The staff is ahhhmazing; they're all friendly and make you feel at home. And Dr. Cronin is wonderful. She's down to earth and takes the time to explain everything. She even brings her lap dog, Wilson, into the office on occasion and it's the sweetest thing, really making the office feel homey. I love it there.

I initially came to this office for an acute concern. I hadn’t yet established care in the city, and Rittenhouse Smiles was able to fit me in quickly despite not seeing me before. Dr. Cronin and her entire staff went out of their way to ensure I felt welcomed and comfortable. They addressed my acute concern with a competency and skill that impressed me, so I decided to stay with them for ongoing care. Thank you all!

Testimonials
See what our patients have to say
Patrick M (Google Review) “I am not sure I can ever express how thankful I am to have found Dr. Cronin and her team at Rittenhouse smiles. Candidly, I had a fear of going to the dentist. Literally, a legitimate phobia resulting from a past experience with another dentist. Apparently, Wikipedia says this is called dentophobia. Needless to say, the byproduct of this phobia was the neglect of my teeth beyond my daily routine and I needed lots of work done.” Continue reading…
