Dentistry is a unique profession that offers the ability to change peoples lives. Patients who spent a lifetime covering their mouths, never smiling, and not feeling good about themselves can have their mouths restored. Its amazing to be able to comfortably give them a healthy, functional, beautiful smile while improving their quality of life. Dr. William Becker
Dr. Becker discovered his passion for helping people at an early age while watching his father, a U.S. Navy dentist, help his patients achieve a lifetime of good oral health. Dr. Beckers goals areto provide optimum dental care,teach patients how to take care of their mouths, and minimize dental problems and the cost of care. He enjoys using the advances in cosmetic dentistry to provide beautiful smiles that function properly.
Born in Oak Park, IL, Dr. Becker attended the University of Illinois and earned his DDS degree from Northwestern University Dental School. After graduation, Dr. Becker decided to serve his country with the U.S. Navy. He was assigned to support the U.S. Marine Corps with training at Camp Pendleton. His active duty included serving as a dentist with the Fleet Marine Force Pacific on Okinawa.
After serving for 23 years (including time in the Naval Reserves), Dr. Becker retired as a captain from the Naval Dental Corps and began building his private practice. Soon after he began his practice, he pursued several years of advanced dental training in the following areas:
I have been fortunate to have many wonderful patients throughout the years. My patients range from 3 years old to my oldest patient who is 100 years old. She is very alert, still driving, and has all of her teeth and a very attractive smile.
The purpose of my practice is to offer patients the best diagnosis I am capable of providing and to inform them of the reasons any problems are present. I educate patients in prevention and in correcting existing issues to improve their quality of life and well-being.
My goal for my patients is to have healthy, attractive teeth and to help them keep their teeth throughout their lives. Seldom will teeth be removed unless they are a hindrance in treatment planning, too loose to be maintained, or are a potential threat to a patients dental health. The financial circumstances of the patient will not prejudice the treatment plan. We provide options that allow the patient to maintain oral health while delaying or phasing treatment as long as extensive damagewill not occur.
Dr. Becker and his wife, Dottie have five children and 14 grandchildren. He was actively involved in coaching his children in youth sports programs. Dr. Becker enjoys golf, spending time with his grandchildren, and lake fishing with his family.

I have been going to Dr. Becker for 20+ years. I had a bad case of TMJ and Dr. Becker worked his magic and freed me of my excruciating pain. Without a doubt I highly recommend Dr. Becker to anyone experiencing TMJ issues or like me to have your smile transformed into beautiful aligned teeth. My daughters, late husband and I have gotten so many complements wherever we went. I highly recommend Dr. Becker as your Family dentist! I also want to give 5 stars to his staff as they are outstanding. I have sent a few of my friends who were terrified of the dentist to Dr. Becker's office knowing they would be put at ease from the start. You become like family when you walk through the door!

Great experience! Was treated like family. Dr. Johnson was so good and patient and really knew what he was doing. The staff was friendly and helpful. Jean was great and explained to me proper oral hygiene techniques. I feel like I am in good hands at Poplar Crossing Dental Center and will come back for my future dental needs.

I recently switched dentists after my dentist for the past 25 years retired. My former dentist had become a family friend, so I was a bit nervous to see a new dentist but Dr. Johnson and his staff were incredible. Everyone in the office was friendly and inviting. The hygienist was SO thorough and removed all of the stains on my teeth. I truly felt as if I had gone in for a whitening treatment and not just a cleaning. Dr. Johnson was just as thorough and actually spotted a chip on my tooth that was filled (cavity) by my previous dentist and was able to file that down. I booked my next appointment that day after being so impressed by the whole staff!
