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 his time at the Senior Friendship Center of Sarasota Dental Clinic as a dental assistant. A busy year followed as Dr. Becker got married to 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 is a member of the American Dental Association, Florida Dental Association, Sarasota County Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, and Florida Academy of General Dentistry. Dr. Becker stays current with new advances in technology and the delivery of dental care. He is a certified Invisalign provider, certified in the use of the Sirona SIROlaser Advance diode laser, and he completed the Aesthetic Continuum, a course focusing on completing esthetic smile makeovers. Dr. Becker is currently pursuing his Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry, and is also learning interceptive orthodontic techniques to facilitate proper oral growth and airway development in children. Dr. Becker is also certified to place dental implants and is continuously learning the latest techniques to provide great replacement options for his patients.

Dr. Becker has previously participated in dental mission trips to both 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, time with family is important to Dr. Becker. 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 is looking forward to serving his community for many years to come.

Dr. Devlin completed a General Practice Residency at Fort Riley in San Francisco. He has attended numerous continuing education courses, including Dental Boot Kamp, and has received advanced training in both Invisalign and EndoMagic.

Its very important to understand what a patient needs. I strive to continually expand my knowledge and improve my abilities in order to better serve my patients interests. I believe we all reap the greatest rewards when we focus on ensuring our patients are completely satisfied.

I continually try to improve myself and refine my technical skills. You may be confident that I will always work in your best interests and make sure you receive the most beneficial and satisfying care; the kind of care you deserve. I enjoy meeting new people and collaborating with patients and I look forward to working with you to create a beautiful smile that lasts a lifetime.

My philosophy is to provide an unparalleled dental experience filled with a positive and professional environment, all while receiving the highest standard of dental quality. My core values that I promise to every patient are mutual trust, respect, optimism, communication, and a confident smile.

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Suehr enjoys spending time with her family and friends, especially her husband. In her free time, she loves to travel, jet ski, fish, and kayak. She strives to learn new skills and techniques, and hopes to bring her visions to life one smile at a time!

At first I was pleased with this practice. Shortly after my visit I received a bill. My dental insurance covers routine X-rays and dental services. When I transferred over to this office I spoke with the girls at the front desk and asked and made sure that they had all my records and x-rays and they confirmed that they did. When I went back for my cleaning I told the hygienist that I only wanted to have whatever was fully covered done and nothing else. I also asked once again if she had all my records and x-rays and she said yes. So when I received a bill for X-rays I was surprised. I called and spoke with billing and they told me that unfortunately the x-rays that I had done we're not covered because they were not done in the proper time frame from the previous x-rays. This obviously came as a shock to me because I had discussed not once but twice with the office to make sure that they had my records. The manager for the billing department said that they would waive the fee because it was their error and they apologized to me. But still wanted me to pay a $20 fee. When I explained that I don't feel as though I should have to pay any fee because it wasn't my fault and they apologized and told me it was their error. The girl on the phone then told me well it is technically the patient's responsibility to make sure that all of my records were transferred over. I will no longer be going to this office because they are unorganized and they do not communicate well with their patients.

Absolute best place to go! Rachel is always so kind and keeps a log of her patients interests to build a relationship and make the process so much less stressful! I can't recommend this place enough

I had a tooth cracked all the way to the nerve. Had to come out. Dr. Becker and Rose were caring, thoughtful, and explained treatment, aftercare, and payment. I highly recommend them. Update 10/27/23: Dr. Becker and Rachel were understanding to my questions and concerns about my treatment. They let me choose the options I was most comfortable in proceeding. I still highly recommend them.

Surprised me when he said he was going to redo my filling. I need more info on what they were going to do. My concern was the crown they recently did.

I had an appointment today to get my implant put in, my apt was confirmed yesterday, I showed up for my appointment today and the office was closed, the office staff are in there so I called them and she says that she tried to text me this morning but my "phone was not letting her text in" even though I received a text the day before, she apologized and says I have to reschedule but they are booked for months, I tell her that I just flew from Vermont to Tallahassee and drove here for this appointment because my appointment was confirmed, and again she apologized and states, " I understand", no she doesn't, I understand that they can't the do anything about the office being closed for repairs but WHY CONFIRMED MY APPOINTMENT, I asked to speak with the office manager and ofcourse she was not there, so I asked her to tell her to call me but nothing yet, I Love my dentist but the office staff could do a LOT better.

They might be slightly more expensive than average but worth every penny. Can't say getting teeth pulled out is a pleasant experience but can say it's less unpleasant with these guys than any others I have ever had.

I love this dentist! They are so friendly and welcoming it is amazing. I came from up north and I am a little weary of dentists from past experience. Here at Sumter, they make me feel so comfortable and at ease I actually look forward to dental appointments. They are quick and efficient when it comes to seeing patients. 10/10 I recommend this place!

Very professional, very clean, organized Covid protocol. Very friendly, happy, professional staff, what seemed to be up to date equipment. I was very happy with Dr. Becker and I can't say enough good things about my hygienist, Rachel. She was kind, knowledgeable and helpful. I will request her for my future cleanings.

The staff are so friendly. They really care about their patients. Dr. Suehr is wonderful. I have had bad experiences at other dental places and came here worried that Sumter Dental would be the same. But they are the best. They put me at ease and worked with me every step of the way. I would recommend them to everyone
