About Us
Meet the practice Winter Haven families trust for honest, comfortable dental care built on genuine relationships, not just appointments.
Spring Lake Dental sits on Havendale Blvd in Winter Haven, where we've built a practice around a simple idea: dental visits should never feel rushed, confusing, or cold. Every patient who walks through our door gets an exam that's unhurried, honest answers to their questions, and a treatment plan that actually makes sense for their life and their budget.
We treat families from Winter Haven, Auburndale, and the surrounding Polk County communities, and we see patients of nearly every age. Whether you need a routine cleaning, a same-day repair, or you're finally ready to deal with a tooth that's been bothering you for months, our team approaches your visit with the same patience and attention we'd want for our own families.
What sets our day-to-day care apart isn't any single piece of equipment or one slogan on the wall. It's the habit of listening first, explaining clearly, and only recommending treatment that genuinely benefits you. That approach has shaped how we built this practice from the ground up, and it still guides every decision we make.
Everything we do is guided by honest clinical judgment, modern technique, and genuine respect for your time and comfort.
We spend real time understanding your history, your concerns, and your goals before suggesting any treatment. No two patients get the exact same plan because no two mouths-or lives-are identical.
Digital X-rays, and precise diagnostic tools let us catch problems early and show you exactly what we're seeing, so decisions are based on evidence, not guesswork.
We know dental anxiety is real. Our team moves at a pace that respects it, explains each step before it happens, and offers gentle options so your appointment stays comfortable from start to finish.
We explain costs, timelines, and alternatives in plain language before any work begins. You'll never be pushed into treatment you don't understand or don't actually need.
Spring Lake Dental started with a straightforward goal: build a dental office where people actually want to go. Too many patients arrive at a new practice carrying old frustrations-rushed appointments, confusing bills, or being talked into treatment that didn't quite make sense. We set out to do things differently from day one.
Our Winter Haven office was designed with that goal in mind. We invested in equipment that reduces guesswork, kept our sterilization protocols well above standard requirements, and furnished our treatment rooms to feel calm rather than clinical. Small details, like a quiet waiting area and a team that remembers your name, add up to a visit that feels different from a typical trip to the dentist.
Our clinicians continue their education well past dental school, taking courses in restorative technique, patient comfort methods, and the latest materials used in fillings, crowns, and bridges. That ongoing training means the care you receive today reflects current best practice, not just what was standard when any one of us first got licensed.
We also believe a good dental practice earns trust slowly, through consistency. That's why we track outcomes, ask for feedback after visits, and adjust how we communicate when something isn't landing the way we intended. Our goal is a practice that keeps improving, year over year, for the families who choose to keep coming back.
"We'd rather spend an extra five minutes explaining your options than have you leave the office unsure of what just happened or why. That's the standard we hold ourselves to with every single patient."

Common questions new patients ask before their first visit to Spring Lake Dental.
Please bring a photo ID, your insurance card if you have one, and a list of any medications you're currently taking. If you have X-rays or records from a previous dentist, bringing those along (or having them sent ahead of time) can help us avoid repeating tests unnecessarily. New patients should also plan to arrive about fifteen minutes early to complete any remaining paperwork.
Yes, we work with most major dental insurance providers and will help verify your benefits before treatment begins. If your plan isn't accepted or you're uninsured, we also offer flexible payment arrangements so you can get the care you need without unexpected financial stress. Our front desk team is happy to answer specific coverage questions by phone.
Yes, our office at 1192 Havendale Blvd NW Winter Haven, FL 33881 has free, convenient parking directly outside the building, including accessible spaces close to the entrance. The office is on ground level, so there are no stairs to navigate getting in, which makes visits easier for patients with mobility concerns or those bringing young children.
We're open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and closed on Saturdays and Sundays. We recommend booking appointments early in the week when possible, since morning slots tend to fill up quickly. You can check current availability or request a time directly through our appointment request page.
Absolutely, and it's a big part of how we train our team. We take time to explain every step before it happens, answer questions honestly, and never rush a procedure. If you've avoided the dentist for a while because of past experiences, tell us when you call-we'll build your visit around making you comfortable first.
Most patients do well with a checkup and cleaning every six months, which helps us catch small issues before they become expensive problems. Some patients with gum disease history or higher cavity risk may benefit from visits every three to four months instead. We'll recommend a schedule based on your specific oral health during your exam.
Yes, we treat patients across a wide age range and many families book appointments for multiple members on the same day to save time. Our scheduling team is glad to coordinate back-to-back visits so you're not making separate trips to the office throughout the month.
You can request an appointment anytime through our online request form, where you'll share your preferred dates and the reason for your visit. Our team will confirm a time by phone or email within one business day. If you'd rather speak with someone directly, call us at 863 297 6555.
