Meet Dr. Cynthia Czaperacker
Dr. Cynthia Czaperacker is a board-certified endodontist with a deep passion for patient-centered care and the art of saving teeth. Her interest in dentistry began early, sparked by her own experience with hypodontia—congenitally missing several adult teeth. The complex, multidisciplinary dental treatment she underwent not only transformed her smile but also inspired her to pursue a career dedicated to helping others achieve lasting oral health.
Dr. Czaperacker graduated as salutatorian of Grand Island High School before earning both her Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Rochester and Northwestern University. During this time, she contributed to orthodontic and implant dentistry research, blending her love for science with hands-on clinical work.
She went on to earn her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine, where she conducted research in dental genetics and was recognized with a leadership scholarship. She completed a general practice residency at a Veterans Hospital in Virginia, where she discovered her passion for endodontics—the perfect intersection of engineering, precision, and patient care.
Dr. Czaperacker pursued her specialty training in endodontics at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), where she also earned a Master of Science in Oral Medicine. While at UIC, she taught dental students and conducted research in regenerative endodontics, earning the prestigious Dentsply First Place Award for Research at the American Association of Endodontists Annual Session. She became board certified in 2018 and practiced in Chicago for four years before returning home to Western New York.
Today, Dr. Czaperacker is proud to serve the Buffalo area community she loves, alongside her family and fellow Bills and Sabres fans. She finds deep fulfillment in relieving patients’ pain and preserving their natural smiles through compassionate, high-quality endodontic care.
