Dr. Herbert T. Casalena, DDS
That legacy continues now as Wilmington Dental & Implants, and the care you have always trusted carries on, in the same caring hands.
The 6th-floor (top-floor) suite at 2300 Pennsylvania Avenue is where patients came to see Dr. Casalena for over fifty years. It is a Wilmington landmark in the historic Trolley Square neighborhood, the Pennsylvania Avenue dental practice generations of New Castle County families have known. We look forward to welcoming every one of you here, whether you first sat in his chair as a child, walked through his door for decades as a family, or are coming to us for the very first time.
For Dr. Casalena's longtime patients: the same familiar place, the same warm welcome, and a team honored to continue your care.
That care now continues with Dr. Hina, who trained at some of the world’s top dental schools, earning her DMD with honors from the University of Pennsylvania, with advanced training at King’s College London and Tokyo Medical and Dental University. Yet it is her warmth, and her gentle touch, that patients remember most. For more than fifteen years she has cared for thousands of families across Delaware and Pennsylvania, and it would be her honor to look after yours.
