John J. Della Croce D.M.D., was born, raised and educated in Freeland. He graduated from MMI Preparatory School, Kings College and Temple University School of Dentistry. He is a third generation dentist, following his father and grandfather (Dr. John B. and Dr. Joseph M.) in the practice of dentistry in Freeland.
Dr. Della Croce believes strongly in continuing education as a means to better serve patients. He is of a select group of Pennsylvania dentists who have been awarded Fellowship (F.A.G.D.) and Mastership (M.A.G.D.) in the Pennsylvania Academy of General Dentistry. This requires passing the examination and completion of over 1100 continuing education hours.
She was the recipient of the Martin Munin award for outstanding service to her class. She was also recognized at graduation by Dr. Martin Tansy, dean of Temple's Dental School, as a 4th generation graduate of Temple University School of Dentistry.
While attending Temple University School of Dentistry, Dr. Della Croce traveled with a group of 25 dental students and the Bethel Gospel Church to Punto Fijos Venezuela, where they provided treatment to nearly 1,000 under-served patients.
Tanya M. Cheeseman- Fanning D.M.D. is a Freeland native who has come full circle within the Della Croce Dental Care family. Dr. Tanya knew at a young age that she wanted to persue a career as a dentist and began working as a dental assistant with Della Croce Dental Care in high school. She continued to work in the office while attaining her Bachelor of Science degree at King's College. There, she graduated Summa Cum Laude with a major in Biology, minor in mathematics, as well as completion of the Honors Program curriculum.
Dr. Tanya continued her education at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine where in 2017, she received her D.M.D. degree. Since then, she has worked as a general dentist with some focus on the pediatric community. Dr. Tanya returned to Della Croce Dental Care in 2019 as an associate dentist, to complete her cyclic journey in the office. She is proud to return and continue to serve the community from which she grew up.

Yesterday was my first time seeing Dr. Della Croce and staff. From the moment I was greeted at the receptionist desk, till my examination by the doctor it was 5 star service. Everyone was so professional and kind. The entire staff at this office is welcoming. I highly recommend anyone looking for a dentist to give the office a call. I will bringing both my girls to the office as patients, and referring my friends and family.

Dr Tonya and her hygienist are the best! I was petrified of dentists and had an emergency. Dr Tonya and her hygienist were wonderful! This is the second time I went to her and she is amazing! I just wish they accepted my insurance so it wouldn't be so hard to afford care.

I needed a tooth pulled and my old dentist had closed. I'm never comfortable in a dentists office but this time I was totally calm. Dr. Della Croce is excellent with his application of anaesthetic, and puts you completely at ease through the whole procedure. The staff is extremely friendly and everyone has a great sense of humor. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone who has trouble committing to going to the dentist.

Today I had the joy to have the best customer service experience at Dellacrose Dental! The facility was clean & well-lit, with a friendly and knowledgeable secretary who helped me understand a question about my insurance. I was treated with the utmost courtesy and given a tour of the facility with a brief overview of the services they offer before my appointment. (It's cool you can get ortho stuff done here too!) Getting my teeth cleaned was done with detail and care, checking in to make sure I was still comfortable every few minutes. I felt welcomed and even excited for my next appointment. I would recommend this location to anyone!
