Lancaster, PA Family and Cosmetic Dentistry

Dr. Steven Crognale, Dr. Patricia Collins and Dr. Melissa Crognale

Crognale, Collins & Crognale Dentistry got its start on April 1st, 1981. Steven Crognale and Patricia Collins Crognale started seeing patients that first day and have served the Lancaster community ever since. Their daughter Melissa was born in September of that year and grew up in the practice. Many of our long time patients remember her as a child playing in the waiting room. She decided to follow in her parents path and joined our practice in 2008.

All three of our doctors serve the community by volunteering time and services to those in need. Additionally, Dr Crognale is a member of the American Dental Association, and Dr Collins is a member of the American Association of Women Dentists.

Implants: Placement & Restoration

If the surrounding bone begins to deteriorate from a missing teeth or tooth, you may experience a change in the structure of your face and jaw.  In order to prevent or repair this, implants act as tooth roots to help form a strong foundation for replacement teeth by bonding to your bone.  By using dental implants, your teeth can be restored to their natural look, feel and function.

An implant is basically a titanium root device that acts as your natural root and connects directly to your jaw bone. The root then helps hold in place crowns, bridges or dentures.

Our doctors perform dental implant placements and restorations and are happy to talk with you regarding any questions you may have. Please contact us today for more information or to set up an appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes!  In most cases, implants are stronger than bridges.  Also, because implants can directly replace your missing or damaged tooth, there is no need to disrupt adjacent teeth as is the case with a bridge.  Implants are now considered the standard practice for missing or damaged teeth because of their strength and ability to last longer, protect the bone and avoid damaging the neighboring teeth.
