Covid-19 & Office Expansion Update
Dear Friends of Rittenhouse Smiles,
Once again I wanted to reach out to you regarding updates and some exciting news. First and foremost, I wanted to thank all of you for your feedback from my last letter. Many of you expressed to me directly that you appreciated my upfront and honest approach about what we manage daily behind the scenes. One of those topics was our COVID-19 prevention protocols which I’d like to extend much appreciation for adhering to and respecting them. We continue to embrace safety without complaints and work relentlessly to maintain a schedule that keeps patients distanced.
Onto new updates....
We have done our research, office space was measured and last month we added an air purifier to the office. You will see a QR code & signage displayed throughout the office for further reading if you wish. A photo is attached here also for our air purifier, ActivePure.
Additionally, last week we were informed via my membership with the ADA (American Dental Association) that the DOH (Dept of Health) has officially recognized Dentistry as Essential Healthcare. Thus, no one can shut our office down again due to the pandemic and your worries can be set aside. Routine treatment & emergencies will continue uninterrupted.
Onto exciting new beginnings...
During the past 2 years, we were steadily adapting to the growth of the practice. We hired Dr. Zangaladze (aka Dr. Z) in August 2019 and received a welcoming response from the patients that met her. Our lab ceramists/technicians who review her work digitally with me via our 3D scanner were also overly complimentary about her detailed work.
I have a strong passion not only for delivering great quality artistic dentistry, but also to spend ample time explaining what and why any treatment is needed. Open discussion that is not rushed and verbally explained and visually understood if so important to me. Dr. Z was already well versed in this belief too.
Lastly, after several months of planning & designing, our office expansion began two weeks ago. Please know that we will remain as a small patient-focused boutique style practice. My vision for expanding was to simply allow myself and my associate to work simultaneously with the addition of another operatory and coincidently to create more space in lieu of the pandemic. Currently, only one of us (doctors) can work each day. Once the expansion is complete I will be able to see more patients and accommodate the need yet maintain the distancing between patients appointments. My team will also benefit with a new lounge too.
In closing, none of this is possible without you, our patients. I thoroughly enjoy being a dentist but that is only possible by having your trust. I don’t take that lightly and promise to always maintain an open level of communication whether clinically or behind the scenes. If you have any questions regarding anything I mentioned, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me or anyone on our team.
Kindest regards,
Dr. Andrea Cronin
You are amazinnnnng!!! 👌🏽♥️

So well deserved! Happy Holidays, my friends! I look forward to hearing more about the expansion! Enjoy, Sistas!!! #RittenhouseSmilesMagic
We received a welcomed message from the PA Dental Association yesterday that Dentistry is now considered Essential Heathcare.
Our patients will no longer have to be concerned about not receiving necessary dental care. We were surprised that we were shutdown earlier this year, but those concerns about it happening again can be put aside.
We are here to support your dental care as always and maintain the greatest safety measures including N95 masks, air purifier, sneeze guards, upgraded suction to reduce aerosols, 60 second hydrogen peroxide pre-rinse and all additional PPE: face shields, eyewear, additional surgical masks, impervious gowns, caps. Our entire team has remained healthy & are thankful for your complete trust in us. We will get through this together & power through this pandemic🦷💪
🎈Happy Birthday to you ~Shalu 🎼! We hope you enjoyed your day of treats! We love you & appreciate all you do for us & the office. ❌⭕️🎈#teamlove #dentalfamily #rittenhousesmiles

The September 11 attacks (often referred to as 9/11) were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamist terrorist group al-Qaeda against the United States on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001. The attacks resulted in 2,977 fatalities, over 25,000 injuries, and substantial long-term health consequences, in addition to at least $10 billion in infrastructure and property damage. 9/11 is the single deadliest terrorist attack in human history and the single deadliest incident for firefighters and law enforcement officers in the history of the United States, with 343 and 72 killed, respectively.
We are Closed tomorrow to show appreciation to our team and the entire American workforce🦷🇺🇸
🇺🇸Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country. It was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century and became a federal holiday in 1894🇺🇸
