Keeping up-to-date with the latest advancements in dentistry is important to Dr. Cronin. She has attended numerous courses throughout recent years including advanced training in dental implants. This has enabled her to provide her patients with the best quality of care in the field. Dr. Cronin has a wide range of experience in different areas of dentistry, from cosmetic and restorative dentistry to surgical treatments including root canal therapy.

Her approach to your treatment starts with listening to you. Then, after a complete and thorough examination, she reviews and discusses the diagnosis and treatment options with you. “I take pride in getting to know my patients including their wants, needs and sometimes fears. I understand through personal family experience that dentistry can cause anxiety for some. It is my pleasure to address all your questions and concerns. To make each patient feel comfortable and help them achieve a healthy beautiful smile.”

Dr. Cronin also believes in giving back and founded the Haiti Dental Mission while a student and continues to travel to Haiti yearly. Locally, Dr. Cronin has donated and supported many charities including Smiles for Success and the American Cancer Association.

In addition to her love for private practice, Dr. Cronin also enjoys her role as a faculty member and clinical instructor at University of Penn Dental Medicine. She also enjoys donating her time and volunteers with Remote Area Medical, which is a US mission group that focuses on providing free dental care in underserved areas.

In her spare time Dr. Cronin enjoys spending time with her daughter, Juliana, and when time permits enjoys the movies, the restaurants of Philadelphia and particularly those of Rittenhouse Square and her home town of Haddonfield, NJ.
