Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to work with many general dentists as I treat their patients’ orthodontic needs and consult with the family and dentist regarding treatment plans.  I can say without a doubt that Dr. Jaksa is one of the finest, most detail oriented dentists with whom I’ve had the opportunity to work.  Dr. Jaksa believes in taking the time to communicate his treatment goals to his patients so they can, as a team, get it right the first time.  He, also, expects the dental specialist to whom he may refer a patient to do likewise.

For over twenty years I have worked with Dr. Jaksa and have been in the field for nearly thirty years. In that time I have worked with hundreds of Doctors. As an owner of a dental laboratory, I find Dr. Jaksa to be one of the most skilled and meticulous Doctors that I have had the privilege to work with. Dr. Jaksa's attention to detail and his top notch staff are about as good as it gets.

15! Fifteen years of fear and not going to the dentist.  I was then introduced to Dr. Jaksa and his incredible staff.  Because of the kind, caring and professional treatment I have experienced at Lake Area Dental, fear is no longer an issue.  I trust Dr. Jaksa and am thankful for his skill, knowledge and friendship.

Dr. Jaksa and staff,
Thank you for making me want to smile! My teeth have always been small and yellowed. The damage to my lower teeth from my overbite seemed to be something I was going to have to live with forever. I went to Dr. Jaksa thinking that I needed a crown to save one of my lower teeth. Dr. Jaksa looked at my teeth and said we needed to discuss a comprehensive solution to my top and bottom teeth. I have many crowns that were old and in the yellow tone to match my real teeth.
Dr. Jaksa put together a plan, first a mock up of what the finished product would look like. He went through all the details, which steps of the process would be done when, how my bite was going to be changed and what color my new teeth would be. He and his staff were very professional and wanted to make sure the job was done to perfection.Yet, I always felt very comfortable at every appointment....in fact, the staff seemed genuinely excited about my new smile!
I would recommend Dr. Jaksa and his staff to anyone that is looking to have cosmetic dentistry done to perfection!
