THE CDS TEAM
Christopher Ryan Haygood DDS
Dr. Haygood is a General Dentist who loves creating beautiful smiles. Haygood graduated from Bossier High School, Louisiana Tech, and LSU school of dentistry. He has practiced dentistry for over 20 years, and considers himself a continuing education junkie who loves to learn.
As a 5-time Shreveport Times award winner for best “cosmetic dentist,” it is no surprise that he cites creating beautiful smiles as his favorite thing about the job. “There are numerous ways to change a smile, and I want to be great at all of them,” Haygood says. “Your new smile starts here. No matter what your needs, we have multiple treatments that fit any budget. Whether you need a denture or a full mouth rehabilitation with implants and crowns, we are in the life changing business.”
In his free time, Haygood enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, and checking out great restaurants.

Shauna
Patient Coordinator
Shauna is the calm in the chaos - and the one you want on your side. As the first person patients meet at Crown and Denture Solutions, she sets the tone with sharp attention to detail and zero fluff. Known for her no-nonsense style and ability to keep everything running smoothly, Shauna makes sure patients feel informed, supported, and prepared from the moment they walk through the door. Off the clock, she enjoys winding down with her grandson - or running the show behind the scenes as a broadcast director for WOGM.
Tear
Dental Assistant
Tear brings both heart and precision to the lab at Crown and Denture Solutions. For her, it’s not just about making dentures - it’s about renewing a smile that someone hasn’t seen in years. She approaches every case like a puzzle, bringing patience, care, and problem-solving skills to create something that truly fits each person. Tear’s favorite moment? When a patient lights up with confidence for the first time. When she’s not crafting smiles, you’ll find her mastering archery with her daughter or unwinding with her favorite show, Animal Kingdom.
Patty
Front Desk
Patty is the kind of front desk presence that instantly puts people at ease. With a warm smile and a kind word, she helps patients feel welcomed and relaxed from the very first moment. She’s a steady guide for those nervous about dentures, walking them through the process with patience and care. Patty’s favorite part? Watching people smile fully for the first time in years. When she’s not at Crown and Denture Solutions, she’s likely poolside with her kid, trying out a new recipe, or recommending her go-to local favorite - Pedro’s.
Shun
Dental Assistant
Shun is the soul of the lab - a steady hand with a heart for transformation. She’s known for keeping cool under pressure and jumping in when teammates need a fresh set of eyes. For Shun, every denture is more than a dental appliance - it’s a second chance at confidence, and the happy tears say it all. Her creativity shows up in the details (and sometimes in her impromptu lab singalongs). When she’s not crafting smiles, she’s soaking up time with her daughter or catching a good horror flick.
Nikki
Dental Assistant
Nikki brings both skill and empathy to every smile she helps create - because she’s been in the patient’s shoes herself. As someone who wears dentures, she knows just how life-changing the right fit can be. She started as an intern at Crown and Denture Solutions and never looked back, thanks to the people and the purpose. Nikki is always fine-tuning the details and soaking up advice from seasoned teammates to make sure each denture feels natural and personal. Off the clock, she’s probably sipping her favorite cup of coffee, hanging with her fiancé and dog, or working magic with a makeup brush.
