About This Provider
Dr. Susan Mazzei is a prosthodontist with 37 years of clinical experience and deep academic roots at Northwestern University Dental School, where she earned her DDS in 1987 and her Certification in Prosthodontics before serving as a full-time Clinical Assistant Professor for 12 years. She holds the title of Assistant Professor Emeritus at Northwestern, a distinction that reflects both her clinical mastery and her long-term commitment to dental education. In 1994, Dr. Mazzei co-founded West Suburban Oral Health Care in Naperville, Illinois, building the practice on one core belief: excellent oral health begins with education and prevention. What distinguishes her from most prosthodontists is her integration of Functional Medicine into everyday dental care. As a Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach and Charter Fellow in the American Academy of Oral Systemic Health, she looks beyond teeth to understand how oral health connects to whole-body wellbeing. Patients consistently praise her clinical precision in restorations, crowns, and veneers, and many maintain long-term relationships with her, with some traveling significant distances to remain under her care.
