Thomas Piazza, DDSDecades of Compassionate Care

A trusted dentist with decades of experience in compassionate care.

Meet Dr. Thomas Piazza

From his earliest days, care and medicine have been part of his family's story.

Dr. Thomas Piazza's passion for dentistry began early with a family devoted to caring for others. His father, Dr. Salvatore Piazza, was the first General Surgeon at Edward Hospital in Naperville, and his three brothers all went on to become doctors as well.

With a family so dedicated to helping others, it felt natural for Dr. Piazza to follow a path in healthcare, choosing dentistry as his way to care for people and make a lasting difference in their lives.

For more than 30 years, he ran his own practice in Naperville, where families came to know him not only as their dentist, but also as a neighbor and friend. His approach has always been rooted in compassion, trust, and respect, values that he deeply shares with Streitz Dental Arts today.
