Dr, Jaksa,

They say that a job well-done is its own reward, but still, you should know how much your hard work means to those around you! Thanks for doing such a great job!!
This is long past due. I really wanted you to know how grateful I am to you for the beautiful work you did on my teeth. If I lived closer to White Bear Lake, I would still be a patient, as my experience with you and your friendly staff was all very positive, and I appreciate the kindness. So glad I took my “good friends” advice to make an appointment with you.

Thank so much for a great smile!

Dr. Jaksa was listed in Consumer’s Research Council of America for “America’s Top Dentists of 2015″!

Dr. Jaksa,

Thank you for being a dedicated doctor. I know I am getting the best of care. May you have many moments to celebrate in this new year!

Reflecting back on 2014 makes me smile proudly!

I have been on a journey to correct my bite with ortho and a full mouth rehabilitation with crowns. There were several steps with a significant time and money commitment. I am absolutely thrilled with the results, and as I reflect, feel this is one of the best things I have done for myself. My teeth look natural and I love the bite. Dr. Jaksa and his team worked closely with me the entire way, laying out a plan step by step to completion. I have been Dr. Jaksa’s patient for approximately 25 years. He exhibits passion and a superior knowledge in his field along with a commitment to his patients providing the caring atmosphere that is appreciated.

Hats off to Dr. Jaksa and his team!

Dr. Jaksa,

Based on the clinical findings and the symptoms, dentists can create many different types of appliances to improve bite, giving the lower jaw the ability to fall correctly into the socket of the temporomandibular joint. A TMJ splint or mouth guard can be worn, which helps reduce any stress placed on the jaw and allows the muscles to move easily. Splints and mouth guards also help to relieve pain as they help to reposition the lower jaw so it rests into the socket correctly.

Dr Jaksa and his staff are amazing! My Husband and I have both been patients at Lake Area Dental for years. We both have had significant work done and it is always done to perfection, with care and a sense of humor when needed. Great team!!
