I've had a very pleasant experience with this office! Dr. Crosby and his team are all very professional, kind, and willing to listen! Throughout my treatment, they answered any questions I had and told me what they were doing through each step of my procedure to help me feel more comfortable. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing periodontal work!

Dr. Barnes performed a free gingival graft on me this afternoon. I can’t say enough about his knowledge, skills, gentleness and bedside manner! The entire staff was absolutely excellent! I would highly, highly recommend Dr. Barnes and his staff to anyone! What could have been a most frightening experience was made as comfortable and pleasurable as possible. Most grateful to you all!

Had two of my teeth damaged years ago and the time came to get them removed. The doctors at Polk Periodontics did a great job. I have a temporary bridge now and looking forward to getting new teeth! I highly recommend this group.

I highly recommend Polk Periodontics. Dr. Crosby extracked a tooth for me today and he did a great job. I was scheduled to be sedated, but due to a complication, we had to do it without sedation. No problem. Dr. Crosby was very concerned and careful to eliminate pain.

Polk Periodontics Dental Implant Center is a periodontal and dental implant practice located at 320 Avenue K Southeast in Winter Haven, Florida, serving patients across Polk County and Central Florida. The practice focuses on periodontal (gum) care and dental implants, with the stated mission of providing exceptional treatment in a modern, patient-centered environment. Services listed on the practice's website include dental implants to replace a single tooth, several teeth, or a full set of teeth, along with implant-supported bridges and implant-supported dentures. The team also offers tooth extractions, bone grafting to rebuild the jaw before implant placement, sinus elevation for the upper back jaw, gum grafting for receding gums, crown lengthening, and treatment for periodontal disease ranging from scaling and root planing to periodontal surgery and ongoing maintenance.
For implant patients, the practice uses computer-guided implant placement, with computed tomography (CT) scanning and three-dimensional imaging performed on its own CT scanner to plan where implants will be placed in the jawbone. Patients who feel anxious about treatment can ask about the sedation options described on the site, which include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, and intravenous (IV) conscious sedation. The office notes that Spanish is spoken, and it is open Monday through Thursday from 8 AM to 5 PM, with Friday appointments available by arrangement. New patients are asked to arrive 30 minutes early and to bring their referral slip, any x-rays from their referring dentist, a list of current medications, and their dental insurance card.
