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

SEE WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT US
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.

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!

I read the great reviews and had high expectations but WOW! I was blown away by the truly excellent service and amenities. I usually don’t enjoy a dentist visit but I left feeling valued and appreciated. With my permission the office puppy hopped up on my lap and made my day as Jill skillfully cleaned my teeth.

Hands down the best experience I’ve ever had at the dentist. The office is extremely clean, friendly environment. The staff are professional and literally ever room welcomes you with your name on the tv screen. My cleaning went smoothly because on sections that were gonna be a little painful they talked to me. For a person such as myself who’s extremely fearful of the dentist this was needed. For my filling and extraction the room came equipped with earphones and an attachment for my iPhone so I could listen to my own music. It’s the little things like this that they think of that makes them stand out. I look forward to working with them for all my dental needs.

I recently had the pleasure of Dr. Andrea Cronin working on my smile and am very happy with the result! Dr. Cronin took time to explain what my options for treatment were and suggested the best route to take. She is very genuine and kind, which put me at ease. The entire Rittenhouse Smiles staff is wonderful .... with happy smiles, they make you feel comfortable and welcome the minute you walk into the door until you leave. Thank you for a great experience!

This place is amazing. The staff is so kind and genuinely concerned about you. They all make conversation and try to get to know you better. Dr. Cronin is great. She wants you to be happy with your smile and asks if you are satisfied with any procedure. The work she did on my tooth is amazing and feels natural. She is very caring and will guide you to the right direction. Everyone here helped me through a tough time. My tooth was broken on a Sunday night during a busy midterm week, and they were able to help me the next day. I am so grateful to have found Rittenhouse Smiles. They truly put a smile on my face whenever I went in! Highly recommended!!

Dr Cronin and her office is one of the best I’ve ever been to! Had an emergency, was able to get in on the same day! Was greeted by name when I arrived and with a glass of complementary, chilled wine. Friendly and talented staff, beautiful views from office. And of course, excellent work!!! 5/5

I have always been afraid of dental procedures. Anxiety follows me whenever I have to go to a dentist the moment that I walked in they started me up with conversations and made me laugh I was so relaxed by the time I got the chair I forgot that I have a phobia they're amazing get your work done here

As an owner of a medical practice, Rittenhouse Women’s Wellness Center, I view Dr. Cronin’s practice with a professional and critical lens and was impressed by the total experience. My appointment was confirmed by text, the reception knew me by name and even offered me refreshments, having my teeth cleaned by the personable dental assistant was flawless, and Dr. Cronin was professional and very warm. I’m proud to have her as a partner of my practice.

I used to be terrified of going to the dentist & so I avoided going for EIGHT years until someone recommended I try Rittenhouse Smiles. Now I can honestly say that I LOVE my dentist and actually look forward to going to my appointments - WHO CAN SAY THEY LOVE GOING TO THE DENTIST?! lol. The entire staff at Rittenhouse Smiles is SO kind and treat you like family. They are so knowledgeable and passionate about their work and I try recommending them whenever I get the chance. If you are looking for a dentist - GO HERE!! You will not regret it!

Wonderful! Spectacular! Amazing! I mean what more can I say - from my very first visit I was sold. I have had extensive dental work done & move all the time so finding a good dentist is a HUGE deal for me. The entire staff is a dream. They never shame you for anything (I hate it when the dentist talk down to me - I grind so I've had more work done). I have been in the chair 2x and pointed out something (other than what I as getting fixed) and Dr. Cronin & staff were like....okay let's just fix that!' Wait...like now? FINALLY! A dentist office that sees a cavity/something and just goes in and fixes it! No - come back in 2 weeks and then again in another 2 weeks. They knock it out, keep you happy, and actually make it EASY to go to the dentist. Do yourself a favor and just go!

Phenomenal hospitality. I love the team. I love the comfort of the office. They greet me by my first name every time I walk in. Very patient and accommodating. Dr. Cronin is a straight shooter and gives valuable feedback/advice/care. Never thought I'd say it, but - I look forward to going to the dentist now!

My daughter chipped her front tooth while diving during a swim lesson and in less than 48 hrs her smile was back to normal with zero evidence of the tooth ever being chipped. Dr. Andrea Cronin is like a magician with teeth! I was so impressed with her level of skill, professionalism, and bedside manner. She is truly a gem! My entire family will now see her for our dental care.

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…
