Mackenzie Mayer, 33

Having a reputation for going above and beyond expectations to give patients the care they deserve, Mackenzie Mayer manages the in-house lab at Excellence in Dentistry in Gurnee, IL, and is passionate about fabricating dentures. “I love the creativity and freedom of my work. It’s my responsibility to do things the right way but also my own way with a creative twist. My personality always shows in my work,” Mayer says.

She’s a self-described “super tooth nerd” and shares photos of all of her work on social media and now has over 56K followers on Instagram (@toothfairyknz). “Just from her photographs alone, there is no doubt that her denture work is way above average. She has great attention to detail and is really on top of the denture game,” says Jay Work, Martin Dental, Quakertown, PA. She’s also an avid collector of dental-related clothing, jewelry, art and vintage products and has several tooth-related tattoos.
