Philadelphia Magazine’s Top Dentist
4 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

Top-rated dentist with a one-of-a-kind view. Dr. Cronin is fantastic and deserves the ‘Top Dentists’ awards she holds without a doubt! Had a couple cavities filled by her in 2019 without any issues. She’s also very friendly and thorough.I also had cavities recently filled by Dr. Zangaladze (Dr. Z). She’s another fantastic dentist at this office well worth seeing. No issues whatsoever with my fillings. Dr. Z is friendly, thorough, and takes time to listen and answer any questions patiently.The rest of the office staff is excellent, as well! Had a teeth cleaning by Krista, the Hygienist. She is very kind, thorough, and gentle with her work. The two dental assistants I’ve met are great.; they are very friendly and do a great job. Lastly, the front desk staff have always been kind and helpful.I will definitely be coming back for the years to come and highly recommend this practice to anyone in search of a new dentist! The parking is tough and very limited in Rittenhouse Square, but I park at the 1500 Locust St. garage via SpotHero, and it’s a very short walk.

Superb team that are very accommodating and professional. I was initially referred to Rittenhouse Smiles from my orthodontist for resin bonding, and was so pleased with the work, I switched them to my primary dentist. Krista, Dr. Z, Dr. Cronin are masters in their craft and leave me feeling confident in my smile. They go through great lengths to explain current and preventative teeth status and how to prepare for the next visit. Great people, great practice.

This practice has never made going to the dentist easier. Everyone is kind, gentle, and welcoming. Dr. Z and her staff are extremely competent, intelligent, and talented. Janann was so caring when I was nervous about an upcoming procedure, immediately making me feel comfortable and cared for. Coming from someone who previously experienced a lot of anxiety going to the dentist, I cannot recommend Rittenhouse Smiles enough.

This place is THE BEST! I hadn’t been to the dentist in an embarrassingly long time and they were kind and patient with me as they perfectly fixed a chipped tooth and got me all set up to start coming back regularly. Tons of amenities and you can’t beat the view! They have a patient for life in me now.

I recently changed my dental office to Rittenhouse Smiles and it has been a great decision. The staff are so friendly and professional. They took the time to answer any questions/concerns I had and did a great job with teeth bonding, taking care of my cavities and dental cleaning. Their services are great. One unique thing is that they have a menu to help you relax during your visit and have a great view of the city at their office since they are on the 23rd floor.

I cannot recommend Rittenhouse Smiles enough! I was looking for a dentist in the area and had an excellent experience with them from my first contact with Audree for scheduling and with each person I interacted with for my initial appointment and cleaning and thereafter. I definitely had some anxiety before my initial appointment but the whole team at Rittenhouse Smiles made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I returned the next week for a cavity filing and Dr. Z and Janann made the process as painless and as comfortable as possible. What a wonderful environment for dental services. Plus the offices are gorgeous!! Highly highly recommend.

The team at Rittenhouse Smiles provided such excellent and caring service! I had an emergency toothache Friday night/Saturday morning and the pain was unbearable. Dr. Cronin reached out to me early in the morning to help assess what was needed and was able to book me with an appt with Dr Kim which was great in order to relive the pain. On Monday, I had to schedule an extraction and the team at Rittenhouse Smiles were able to fit me in for the same day in the morning. The front desk team of Shalu and Audree were very friendly and helpful with my paperwork. Janann was the Dental Assistant and was very kind and friendly as I haven't been to the dentist in years so she walked me through each step. Dr. Cronin explained the procedures to me and truly cared about my well-being. She even called the next day to follow-up how I was feeling. The whole experience was amazing and I would highly recommend Rittenhouse Smiles! The added extras of offering a glass of wine, personalized music, and even a stress ball were great personal touches that will keep me coming back for years!

Unequivocally the best experience I have had at a dentist’s office. The staff are conscientious and provide a level of care that is unparalleled. They explain everything clearly and as someone with anxiety around dental visits the “comfort” options they offer are fabulous.The care they provide is so excellent I ended up not needing any of their comfort options but I still got to have the comfort dog Wilson sit on my lap during the bulk of my visit.I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Mike Lazenka
14:30 12 Feb 22
Best experience I've ever had at the dentist! Dr. Z is so kind and incredibly thorough, the staff is all super sweet, and they even file out-of-network insurance claims for you. Not to mention they offer a ton of amenities, geared toward anyone who gets nervous at the dentist — muffling headphones, wine, cushions, a therapy dog??? Seriously, I have never been to a nicer practice, highly recommend

By far the best dentist office I have ever been to. As someone who is super anxious about going to the dentist I love how the whole staff works together to ensure my comfort through out the whole process. When I'm nervous about a procedure I never feel any judgement and am only met with compassion. From cleanings to cavities I've never had a bad experience here, which is a far cry from the dentists of my past. I would give Rittenhouse Smiles more than 5 stars if possible.
David Tumolo
15:12 10 Feb 22
I had my first appointment with Rittenhouse Smiles today and it was great! The hygienist today was really sweet and Dr. Z did a great job. The front desk staff was also very kind and helpful. I will definitely be coming back and will recommend this to anyone looking for a new dentist in the area.

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
Kelly Buckner

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 🙂
Courtney Miner
20:30 03 Nov 21
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 am so thankful for the expertise, compassion, humor and dedication of the entire Rittenhouse Smiles team.

From Shalu at the front desk to especially Jillian, the dental hygienist, everyone is friendly, professional, and caring.

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!

In my profession as an orthodontist, I have the opportunity to work with many general dentists for collaborative treatment with our mutual patients.

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!!

I found this place using Yelp. Did the same for my chiropractor. Rittenhouse Smiles is the best dentist office I’ve ever been to. Everyone is super friendly and very professional. 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.

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.

I met Dr. Cronin at a practice in NJ only 5 miles away. I now drive 20 miles to see her. Dr. Cronin, along with her staff (Shalu, Jillian, Janaan, Shauneice, & Dr. Z.) are the best at what they do. Excellent dentist...the best in my opinion, and the view of the skyline from the 23rd floor is fantastic!

The whole office makes you feel like you’re part of the family. This is my second time going and I feel like I’ve been going for years. They truly are the nicest people and also super knowledgeable. They get you in and out and the place is super easy to get to. I recommend to anyone and everyone. They’re absolutely lovely.

I have had many dentists across the country during my decades and couldn’t be happier to have had such a devoted, competent up to date dentist as Dr. Andrea Cronin referred to me by a good friend. She and her competent personable professional team are the best I have experienced. It feels good knowing that I am now in the best hands and look forward to my visits!

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!

Dr. Cronin accomplishes the impossible by making a dentist visit a pleasurable experience! Wilson the service dog is an excellent lap companion during a visit! Jillian the hygenist is super friendly and does an awesome job. The front desk staff are attentive and send great reminders for appointments. They offer tea, coffee, soda and white wine while you wait. 12/10 would recommend.

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 could not at have asked for a better dental experience, and I am so grateful to know these astute professionals who truly care about taking good care of patients and making sure that the best outcome is always achieved are caring for my teeth. Another bonus, if you visit on Thursday or Friday you can meet Wilson who is the gentlest and most angelic support pup!Dr. Cronin and her colleagues are truly top-notch. If you desire unparalleled service From truly kindhearted people, become a patient at Rittenhouse Smiles! I am now forever a patient!

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.

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…
