Dr. Chasolen began her dental career over 30 years ago as a Dental Assistant in high school and then fabricating crowns in a dental lab giving her a broad foundation to build upon.

After graduating dental school from West Virginia University, Dr. Chasolen specialized in Prosthodontics from the University of Pittsburgh. Prosthodontics is the specialty where Esthetic Dentistry resides most. It also encompasses knowledge on how teeth function together while performing functions like chewing. Knowing this allows for the preservation of the teeth and dental work that you already have. Prosthodontics especially involves the restoration of damaged/broken down teeth and replacement of missing teeth, no matter the complexity. 

Upon completing her Prosthodontic specialty, Dr. Chasolen went on to gain knowledge in treating Cancer and Cleft Palate patients by completing Maxillofacial Prosthodontic program giving her a firm foundation in a wide range of multidisciplinary complex dental cases.
