Going to the dentist should be a part of maintaining your overall health and wellness. A dentist not only helps to keep your teeth and gums in good shape but can also screen for and help you prevent system diseases and conditions. A dentist can also diagnose and treat issues before they become more significant problems. Plus, going to a dentist is the best way to maintain a healthy and bright smile that you can show off to the world.
Absolutely not! Part of what makes regular dental visits so important is the preventive nature of the visit. While Dr. Crosby will certainly work to maintain your healthy smile by cleaning the teeth and around the gum lines, he will also screen for any potential issues before they become future problems. Dental care is all about preventive measures to help keep your smile in good shape.
All too often, people only visit the dentist when they have a noticeable problem or are experiencing pain. Visiting the dentist every six months can help you and the doctor spot any potential problems early. By stopping problems before they worsen, you can stay comfortable and pain-free, and treat conditions more successfully.
At Crosby Dentistry, we offer a range of services to make taking care of your teeth simple and comfortable. We are happy to give you easy, economical solutions for your dental care, from routine dental exams, cosmetic dental treatments, and preventive care.
Dental treatment has evolved so much in recent years, and it is now easier than ever to enjoy your visit to the dentist. The team at Crosby Dentistry understands and empathizes with fearful patients, which is why we offer several solutions to ease your mind and keep you comfortable. From gentle and professional team members to options for sedation dentistry, we will work together to find a solution to keep you calm and relaxed.
During your exam, you can expect a professional treatment that will keep you comfortable. A member of our hygienist team will work to clean your teeth gently. Your teeth will then be inspected and polished for a bright white smile. Next, youll meet with Dr. Crosby, who will take a closer look at your mouths muscles and soft tissues. He will examine your teeth and gums and make further recommendations for your treatment or ongoing care. Last, we will send you home with some new dental swag like toothpaste and a toothbrush to help you keep a solid dental routine between visits.

I have been a patient of Dr. Crosby's since I was in grade school and have nothing but positive things to say! When I lived out of the area, the hardest thing was finding a dentist with which I could be comfortable. Even when I was away at college, I would plan cleaning visits around times I could visit home. He and the staff have always been caring and attentive. I would recommend this practice to anyone needing a dentist in Lakeland or the surrounding area.

I've been to plenty of dentists, but Dr. Crosby and his team top them all! The office is very well kept, the staff is friendly, and Dr. Crosby really takes care of his patients. My teeth have never been in better hands.

The staff is always so friendly and go above and beyond making me comfortable during my appointment without me even asking. No one is a fan of going to the dentist but they make the visits go bye fast and easy.

Wife & I are new to the area after relocating earlier this year. I researched many dentists nearby after our move and chose Crosby. I had my 1st visit today and I was very impressed with the treatment that I received from Dr Crosby's staff. Started with a consultation and then off to a very thorough exam, x rays, and TLC from hygienist. My 1st appointment lasted more than 2-1/2 hours. I have more dental issues that need to be addressed in the very near future and I am confident that Dr Crosby & his staff will continue to provide me with the utmost dental care. I will update this review after my follow-up appointments. Thank you Dr Crosby ( & staff ! )

Dr. Crosby and his team are Superheroes. I recently became a new patient. After one cleaning, two crowns, and a nightguard, it's clear to me that Crosby Dentistry is the place to be. I wish I had found them eight years ago when I moved back to Florida. Cheers to many years of excellent service Thank you for the attention to detail and the impeccable smiles. Keep up the great work!

I went there with a fear of dentist. All the staff was very friendly. And now I have a good plan for my teeth. I am very happy with everything. I would definitely recommend Dr Crosby.

I have been going to Dr. Crosby for over 20 years. I have always had excellent service, he is very honest and will never try to upsell anything that isn't needed. His staff is just as amazing.

I cant say enough about this dentistry!!! I (as a single mom) neglected my dental care for years. But I finally rounded up the courage to overcome any embarrassment or fear and started a proactive plan devised by a very caring and professional team to get my mouth cleaned up and healthy. I had to first deal with a broken tooth situation that was causing me lots of discomfort and then I had my first deep cleaning today. My dental tech Robin did an amazing job. My teeth look so beautiful! I never thought they could look this way again. Im not kidding! What a beautiful transformation. I cant say enough of how much I appreciate this team and I cant believe Im actually looking forward to the next deep cleaning to complete the task. I now have, not just a dentist, but a team of caring people who will help me take care of my mouth going forward! Thanks Crosby Dentistry!!!!!!!!

I'm so thrilled that Dr. Crosby & team created the most beautiful teeth for me. Arriving for my appointments was a similar feeling as walking into a family business. Everyone is so friendly, from the two ladies in the main office that welcomed me & took care of all schedules & accounting & the way they're are so pleasant to & respect each other. Everyone has their own talents & the results are proof. The precision in creating the perfect teeth & fit is quite the skill. I can smile again & I do, big smiles!. Earlier this year I moved here from Santa Monica CA & must write that in LA many are lacking such amazing talent, friendliness & the ability to provide seamless service with awesome results as Dr. Crosby & team. I'm fortunate that after moving to Lakeland, within a month I was referred to Dr. Crosby.

I recently moved to Lakeland a few months ago and was looking for a local dentist nearby. I did an on-line search and from all the positive reviews, I thought I would give Crosby Dentistry a try. From the moment I walked in, Kelly greeted me in a friendly manner that made me feel welcome. The aura of the office was professional, polite, happy, and everyone seems to enjoy their jobs. Everyone made me feel welcome and right at home. I went in for X-rays/cleaning and my hygienist, Lauren is the absolute best! She is kind, funny, professional and great to be around. She explained everything thoroughly and this was the first time that I had X-rays/cleaning done on my teeth and I didn't feel excruciating discomfort. I was rather relaxed and we even shared a few laughs of when she was checking my teeth and she would say " 2 3 2 3 2 3 2 3....". For some reason I broke out laughing and she laughed with me and I appreciated her sense of humor. Dr. Crosby is quite kind, caring, and professional. He informed me of what I needed and didn't need, but to keep an eye on some possible trouble areas. He did not try to oversell me on something unnecessary. I highly recommend Crosby Dentistry!

Could not have had a better experience. Very professional, helpful and caring people. The week started with my daughter getting her front tooth knocked out at the gum line. We needed to find someone fast. Crosby Dentistry was able to see us immediately (like 7:30 AM). She needed oral surgery and they helped arrange that for the same day! Incredible service, lovely people. Wow! So glad we found them.

I've been born and raised in Lakeland, and have had probably the worst dental health in my family. On top of that, I have issues with anxiety, and can get almost debilitated by fear over the littlest things. Exactly the opposite with the good Doc Crosby. I used to be deathly afraid of the dentist due to poor experiences I've had in my youth with other dentists. After over a decade of being treated by Doctor Crosby for all the issues I've had over the years, I find that going to his office for any reason is among the most calming activities of my life. I need to know a lot about my procedures to stay calm about it, and the good Doctor is more than willing to keep me informed throughout the process. They even put my x-rays on the screen and have gone over each of them with me to spot and recognize any anomalies or features in those x-rays to keep me better informed! There was once a time where I started getting excruciating pain in one of my teeth, pain enough that I couldn't even function normally due to how constant and terrible it was. When I called in the day before I just couldn't take it anymore, they scheduled an appointment the very next day. When I got in, it was discovered that I needed a root canal. Doc Crosby handled all of the hassle; he managed to get me scheduled with the endodontist he recommended for an immediate operation, and I went home that afternoon completely pain free! I couldn't imagine going to any other office. Even if I moved, I'd gladly fly back to keep my appointments here. Top notch dentistry, all the way around, headed up by the best dentist on the planet! They will go above and beyond to make sure you go home comfortably and pain free!
