About Stephen E. Sulzbach, D.M.D.
About Stephen E. Sulzbach, DMD
Dr. Stephen Sulzbach believes that successful dental care is establishing a working relationship between the patient and doctor— the doctor explains options to the patient and the patient chooses the treatment that works best for them. Through mutual collaboration, patients and doctors can create a treatment plan for preventive and proactive care that leads the patient toward a lifetime of optimal health.
A Pennsylvania native, Dr. Sulzbach was raised in Quakertown. He’s proud to serve his community from a place of compassion, education, and personal experience. Witnessing family and friends suffer from debilitating pain associated with chronic head and facial pain disorders, as well as losing loved ones to complications of sleep apnea has inspired Dr. Sulzbach to delve deeper into these specialty issues. Medicine and dentistry overlap in these areas, which is what Dr. Sulzbach recognized early on in his career.
Outside of work, Dr. Sulzbach is a proud member of several civic and charitable organizations, including the Shriners. He enjoys vegetable gardening, fishing, and spending quality time with his wife Alissa and their five children.
Education and Professional Accomplishments
Dr. Sulzbach is the first and only dentist in Pennsylvania to hold dual fellowships and diplomates in the treatment of craniofacial pain disorders and dental sleep medicine. He’s one of just three dentists in Pennsylvania to be double-board certified in dental sleep medicine and is one of the most highly credentialed general dentists in the United States.
He has completed residencies with The Center for Occlusal Studies and the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain. Dr. Sulzbach completed Tufts University School of Dental Medicine’s dental sleep medicine program, which is the only dental school-based dental sleep medicine program in the country recognized by the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine.
Dr. Sulzbach has also completed the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine’s pediatric dental sleep medicine program, the only one of its kind in the country. He is one of a small number of dentists nationwide to have completed a dedicated pediatric dental sleep medicine residency program.
Dr. Sulzbach is committed to keeping up with the latest technical knowledge and advancements in dentistry to incorporate his hands-on experience into comprehensive patient care. He has completed more than 1,000 hours of continuing education courses alongside some of the best dental educators in the country to stay ahead of the curve in dental care.

Personal Mission
Dr. Sulzbach has one primary goal: to serve as a resource for informed dental opinions to help patients make fully educated decisions about their care and treatment. He aims to dispel the myth that medicine and dentistry are two separate entities. When dentistry is viewed as a part of the greater whole of healthcare, dentistry can save and change lives. Today’s research makes it abundantly clear that diseases that negatively affect the mouth and jaw negatively affect the entire body and vice versa.
