Let's Meet
Dr. Neil Della Croce
Kennett Square Family Dentistry is led by Dr. Neil Della Croce, DMD, MS, who brings a thoughtful, patient-first approach to care. Dentistry runs deep in his family—his great-grandfather began practicing in 1925.
Originally from the Poconos, Dr. Neil first discovered Kennett Square in 2006 during a lunch at the Kennett Inn while in town for a job interview. After walking down State Street, he immediately felt a connection to the town’s character and strong sense of community.
Neil completed his undergraduate studies at King’s College, pursued graduate education at Bloomsburg University, and earned his dental degree from Temple University, where he graduated in 2010. After dental school, he worked as an associate dentist in Chester Springs for five years, gaining valuable experience and refining his clinical approach. In 2022, he returned to Kennett Square, and in September 2024, he officially took over the Kennett Square Family Dentistry practice from previous owner Al Schmitt, marking a new chapter for the office while continuing its commitment to the community.
