Dr. Cynthia Czaperacker is a board-certified endodontist who has a strong passion for endodontics. She developed a curiosity for dentistry at a young age when she was diagnosed with hypodontia, meaning that she was congenitally missing a few of her adult teeth.

Dr. Czaperacker graduated salutatorian from Grand Island High School. She then attended the University of Rochester and Northwestern University where she earned her Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in Biomedical Engineering. While earning her engineering degrees, Dr. Czaperacker completed orthodontic and implant-dentistry research.

While at Pitt Dental, she conducted research in dental genetics and was awarded a scholarship for leadership. Upon graduation from dental school, Dr. Czaperacker completed a general practice residency at a Veterans Hospital in Virginia. This is where she developed a passion for endodontics, as it combines engineering principles with oral health. Performing root canal therapy allows Dr. Czaperacker to alleviate patients pain and achieve their best smile.
Dr. Czaperacker pursued her interest in endodontics and earned her specialty training certificate from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC).

Although Dr. Czaperacker loves Chicago, she knew it was not home. There is no place like Western New York! Dr. Czaperacker and her husband moved back to the Buffalo area and are enjoying every minute with friends, family, and fellow Bills/Sabres fans.
While getting a root canal may be stressful at some practices, we take special care to create an environment where comfort comes first. Patients are greeted by name when they enter the practice. They may choose their own TV station in the operatory or movie glasses that allows them to watch Netflix during their procedure. We encourage patients to choose their own music station while being treated or even bring in a pair of headphones with their favorite tunes. All patients are offered a warm aromatherapy towel after their procedure. These amenities are just some of the many ways we show compassion and care to our patients.

My root canal performed at Apex went smoothly and there was no post operative pain or issues. Dr. Cynthia was very professional, listened to my concerns and explained various parts of the procedure thoroughly.

Can't say enough good things. They did my root canal back in 2017. Started having pretty bad pain in that tooth last week. They got me in so quick to check on the tooth. I am 29 years old yet nervous to the point of tears for fear of needing further work done and they were so kind and compassionate!

Dr Jordan and the entire staff was absolutely amazing! My son wasn't even a patient yet and they called us back after hours and got him in right away! When your 8 year old loved getting a root canal, that equals 10 stars!!!

I went to Apex for a root canal. Never had one. Never wanted one But the experience I had was outstanding. No pain. Almost fell asleep in the chair. The doctor and the staff did an outstanding job What I really like is they explained everything before they did it. Thank you and if I ever need another root canal I would not hesitate to go back to Apex

This practice is very clean, very competent from the waiting room, to the front desk, to the assistants to the doctor performing the procedure. They make a root canal about as pain free and comfortable as possible. I highly recommend.

A lower tooth that had a previous root canal had been bothering me for months. Dr Jordan decided then upper molar on that side was the problem causing pain in the lower tooth. I doubted it but they molar needed a root canal also. Two weeks later the pain in the lower tooth was gone!! Last year I had an unsuccessful root canal by another doctor. After $1200 the pain never went away. Dr Jordan did an image and said the tooth was cracked. It never should have been worked on. The tooth was then pulled. I can't recommend Dr Jordan enough.
