Dr. Steven D. Crognale, DDS
Steven D. Crognale earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery from Temple University in 1979. Upon graduation, he worked as an associate in a dental practice in Allentown, Pennsylvania before opening his own dental practice with his wife, Dr. Patricia A. Collins, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1981. Dr Steve was a 1970 graduate of Greenville High School in Greenville, PA, a 1974 graduate of Albright College with a degree in biochemistry, and completed one year of a biochemistry masters program at the University of Pittsburgh before pursuing dentistry.
Over the years, Dr. Crognale has taken extensive training in implant dentistry. Most recently attended an extensive surgical course at The University of South Carolina School of Medicine. He has restored hundreds of cases and has placed over 300 dental implants.
Dr Crognale also completed the curriculum at the Dawson Academy for Advanced Dental Studies. This is additional training in complex restorative dentistry.
Dr Crognale has 30 years of experience in cosmetic dentistry. He was an early user of veneers to improve smiles. You can see his work in the smile gallery. All the cases you see there were done by the doctors in this office.
Dr Steve has a number of interests outside of the dental office. He is an avid golfer, and enjoys hunting and fishing. He can often be found at Stern's Lake, north of Scranton, reconnecting with his college buddies while fishing. He has recently taken up woodworking, and enjoys home improvement projects.
Amazing practice! I started going to Crognale and Collins as a young child, and I always looked forward to going to the dentist. Not only did they take exceptional care of my teeth, they helped nurture my own love for dentistry. Currently, I am a pediatric dentist in the reading area. I have nothing but warm memories of this practice and the caring people that work there!
