Meet this week’s guest:

An experienced Dental Lab Ceramist and Academy Educator, Suzanne brings her 35+ years of experience to each course she leads to provide participants with up-to-date information about dental products and procedures. As a Chairside Specialist, Academy Educator supporting the Dentsply Sirona Restorative and CAD/CAM teams on the Blocks, Suzanne has extensive experience within the CAD/CAM market and has an in-depth knowledge of fabricating esthetic and functional restorations with both Zirconia and Glass Ceramic materials.
 
Suzanne’s early career was spent within the Dental Laboratory space as a Ceramist—progressing to Dentsply’s R&D with porcelains, then moving into a role as Technical Communications and Sales Support and later to product development support and sales training. Suzanne’s background provides her with both foundational material science knowledge and procedure expertise that allow her courses to focus on both how to process CAD/CAM materials and where common mistakes can lead to pitfalls and inefficiencies. 

Suzanne lives in New Jersey with her husband Ralph and their two daughters. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, spending time at the NJ Shore with her family, and has recently welcomed a new granddaughter.
