Patient Success Story: Rox
When Rox came to see Dr. Stryker, she was in severe discomfort. Her teeth had shifted and she was having a hard time eating the foods that she wanted to because chewing was difficult and painful. Rox had missing teeth and loose teeth, so she didn't want to smile anymore.
Rox said Dr. Stryker was the first dentist she had ever been to that took the time to explain what he could do to help her and assured her she would have minimal discomfort during her treatment. Dr. Stryker removed Rox's remaining teeth, placed implants in her top and bottom jaws and made her implant-supported, non-removable teeth.
Not only can Rox comfortably eat whatever foods she wants to now, but she also loves to smile. She does it all the time! Rox is thrilled that she found Dr. Stryker and that he was able to help her have the smile she dreamed of.
"I love my smile. I do it all the time. My struggles were very real — chewing food became a major issue. Not only was it hard to do, it was extremely painful. Dr. Stryker is the one dentist I finally found in my lifetime that honestly sat me down and told me what he was going to do, and told me there wasn’t going to be any pain."
Patient Success Story: Bill
Bill has been a patient at Lincoln Crossings Dental Care for years. Several years ago, Bill had his lower teeth removed and an implant-supported, snap-on denture made. Several years later Bill's top teeth needed to be addressed. Due to excessive wear and decay on his remaining top teeth, the time had come for them to be removed.
Since Bill was so pleased with the results of his lower teeth, he knew he wanted an implant system to replace his top teeth too. Bill wanted his top teeth to be non-removable and didn't want the roof of his mouth to be covered. For those reasons, after consulting with Dr. Stryker, Bill opted for"All-on-X" treatment for his top.
Bill is pleases with both of his implant systems. He can clean everything easily, eat all the foods that he enjoys and loves sharing his beautiful smile.

Patient Success Story: Dennis
Dennis had been an existing patient at Lincoln Crossings Dental Care, he had some restorative treatment done by Dr. Stryker and kept up with his cleaning appointments. At all his appointments, Dennis would express his unhappiness with the appearance of his smile.

A custom wax-up was made so Dennis could see what his new smile could look like, he decided to restore his top, front, eight teeth with crowns/veneers. Like many of our patients, Dennis had some anxiety when it came to having dental work done, everyone at Lincoln Crossings Dental Care made sure he was comfortable throughout his appointments.
Dennis is thrilled with his new smile. Dr. Stryker was able to change the size, shape and color of his teeth, giving him the smile he always dreamed of!

Patient Success Story: Tim
When Tim first came to see us he told us his wife had recently passed and he had been neglecting his dental health. Tim had a lot of old dental work and was having pain in both sides of his mouth. Tim wanted to be able to chew without pain and have a nice smile again.
Tim wanted to start dental his journey by addressing his top teeth. Dr. Stryker removed most of his top teeth and replaced them with an implant-retained bridge. After completing his top treatment, Tim was so pleased, he decided to have his lower teeth restored. Dr. Stryker was able to save his lower teeth and restore them with restorative/cosmetic crowns.

Patient Success Story: Lauren
Lauren came to us with extreme dental anxiety. Years of chronic health problems had affected her dental health. Lauren had missing and loose teeth and was embarrassed of her smile, she wanted to be able to smile with confidence and “not hide from the world”
After obtaining the proper medical clearances Lauren had full mouth rebuild, including lower, nonremovable, implant-supported teeth and a combination of implants and crowns on her top teeth.

Patient Success Story: Mark
When Mark initially came to Lincoln Crossings Dental Care, he told us he was ashamed of his teeth, he was missing several top and bottom teeth. Mark said he was a very social person but due to the condition of his teeth, he wasn’t smiling anymore and didn’t even want to be in family pictures.
Mark decided on a personalized plan with Dr. Stryker to remove his top teeth and replace them with implant-supported, snap-on teeth, and to replace some lower missing teeth with single implants. Even though Mark had some dental anxiety he told us the procedures were “so much better than he thought they would be” and thought the process went smoothly.
Mark is “over the moon”, his new teeth give him the confidence to be social again and smile in family pictures. Mark’s only regret is that he didn’t do it sooner.
