Dr. Becker first declared she wanted to become a dentist when she was five years old. Her mother certainly played a large role in this revelation. While her mother was not able to practice as a dentist for many years in the United States due to her foreign degree, her passion for the career was passed on to Dr. Becker. She valued the meaningful relationships a dentist forms with their patients and loved the idea of sculpting smiles. When Dr. Becker was thirteen, she began shadowing dentists and discovered the fusion of art and science that dentistry allows. She also grew to appreciate the valued role a dentist can play in a community. As she further discovered the importance of oral health and overall health, Dr. Becker was certain of her path forward. She sometimes jokes that being a dentist is in her DNA as she has several family members in the field.Dr. Becker loves the team environment that CIDC provides as everyone has one goal in mind, which is to deliver the best care possible to patients. Whether the office is seeing a patient to improve their smile, establishing trust with a patient who has had poor dental experiences, or helping someone get out of pain, everyone is all hands in.
