Meet the doctor
Christian J. Becker, DMD FAGD
Dr. Christian Becker was born in Apopka, Florida, and moved to Sarasota when he was 4 years old. A graduate of Riverview High School, Dr. Becker was a bagpiper and, eventually, Pipe Major in the Kiltie Band. Dr. Becker actively competed when he was a high school and college student in highland games across America, winning numerous awards in individual and pipe band competitions. His studies led him to Florida State University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Physiology. While awaiting admission to dental school, Dr. Becker returned to Sarasota and spent the next twelve months volunteering as a dental assistant at the Senior Friendship Center of Sarasota Dental Clinic. A busy year followed as Dr. Becker married his high school sweetheart, Nicole, moved to Arizona and began dental school at Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine in Glendale, Arizona. Upon graduation, Dr. Becker moved to North Port, Florida, and began practicing dentistry in the community where he grew up.
Dr. Becker has previously participated in dental mission trips to Nicaragua and Ecuador. Additionally, Dr. Becker has volunteered in Project Christmas Smile and partners with Toys for Tots and our local food bank during the holidays.
As a father of four children, Dr. Becker considers time with family extremely important. He enjoys visiting Walt Disney World, spending time with nearby family in Sarasota, reading, going to the beach, and being actively involved in Awaken Church. Dr. Becker and his wife recently finished building a home in North Port, just minutes away from the office, so he looks forward to serving his community for many years.
