Services
Dentist If it’s been more than six months since you last saw a dentist or you’re looking for a new dental provider, we’re confident that you’ll be more than happy with your decision to come to our office. Remember, receiving regular dental care is one of the best things you can do to preserve the health and aesthetics of your smile for many years to come.
Family Dentistry If you are a parent and are looking for a dentist to whom you can bring your whole family, then look no further! Your children will feel comfortable receiving family dental care from our friendly and caring staff members, who will help them develop a healthy attitude about going to the dentist.
General Dentistry We work hard to get ALL of your general dentistry needs taken care of. Whether you need dental fillings, or just want to improve the aesthetics of your smile, you can expect nothing but the best from our general dentistry practice, which serves those in the Lakeland, Florida area.
Tooth Whitening There are a variety of reasons why your teeth may not be as white as they once were. These include using tobacco, drinking soda, coffee, or other dark liquids on a regular basis, and not taking the best care of your teeth. Whatever the reason, at the dental office of Northside Family Dental, we can transform the look of your smile with our elite whitening and dental services.
Dentures Dentures are removable replacements for any missing teeth in your mouth. These tooth replacements can fully replace all of your teeth, or come in a partial form if you still have remaining teeth that are in good condition. After your new denture system has been molded and you are ready to start wearing the dentures, don’t be discouraged if you have difficulties eating and speaking. Give your mouth time to adjust and know that this initial discomfort will eventually fade, and you will have a beautiful set of natural-looking teeth once more.
Dental Office When you come to the dental office of Northside Family Dental, we do everything in our power to make you and your family feel comfortable. We offer services that we know will help a wide variety of people, including things like general dentistry, fillings, cleanings, x-rays and more. Whether you need general dentistry practices or more complex repairs such as crowns or implants, we can help with that, too. Because of our decades of experience working in both dentistry and in this area, you can have complete confidence coming to our dental office for your next appointment.

I had an outstanding experience at this dental practice. The front desk team greeted me warmly, creating a welcoming atmosphere. My dental hygienist, whose name unfortunately slipped my mind, demonstrated exceptional professionalism and skill during my cleaning. The dentist was equally professional and approachable. I wholeheartedly rate this office a perfect 10/10 for their service, cleanliness, and professionalism. I've already sung their praises to friends and family, recommending them without hesitation.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. They are great at explaining the procedures and make the experience pleasant. No one wants their gums and teeth to be poked around or anything, but the dental hygienist made it go fast and easy for me.

It is always a pleasure to go to Dr. Sheumaker's office. The front staff is a pleasure. My latest cleaning visit, I had a new hygienist Carla so now I can recommend Carla or Diane, they are fabulous. Dr Sheumaker is thorough and very kind.

I have been a patient of Dr. Sheumaker Jr. DDS since 1995. Since being cared for I only had one dental problem under his care. That problem was solved quickly, since then I have been seeing Diane for cleaning my teeth. She does a great job and I trust her. Would recommend Dr. Sheumaker and his staff.

Just recently moved here and was needing a dentist, so I just basically picked one off the internet in my area. I was very pleased with Dr. Sheumaker and his staff. I especially like the fact that you get the new patient exam and the cleaning on the same visit. This is not the case with a lot of other dentists I called in town.

A great place to go. We switched from Dr. Sheumaker to go to Aspen Dental, worst mistake possible! Of course now we are back to the folks that actually clean your teeth and care. Don't make the mistake we did!

Staff is friendly and well qualified. Dr. Sheumaker takes the time to answer any questions or concerns. Always gives an honest opinion for his patients. I go every six months.

Excellent experience at this dental office! I just had a cavity filled in 30 minutes from the time I walked in, until I left. Amazing! The staff is very competent and always friendly. The dentist was on-time for the appointment, fixed my front tooth confidently and with no pain. Exactly what you would expect from a DDS in the biz for over 30 years. He knows his stuff. Never did anyone try to push me to buy unnecessary services like those franchise dental offices (i.e., Coastal). I won't go ANYWHERE else from now on.

I had a dental emergency during the Covid-19 period and was worried that I was going to have difficulty seeing a dentist. They got me in the office ASAP and were very caring. I have only been a patient there about one year, but have been very impressed on each visit.

Dr. Sheumaker's staff is professionalism and customer service personified to the highest degree. Communication throughout virtual scheduling were spot in all the way up to day of appointment. A personal shout out to Dental Technician Carla. I could not be more pleased in the care you took to ensure my comfort and confidence in this time of COVID-19 awareness. You are my forever Technician!

I can't say enough amazing things about this office and everyone who works here, they saw me the day I had an abscess tooth, and have been the most patient, pleasant staff helping me work through the issues I'm having afterwards, due to my own neglect of not coming in much sooner! Dr. Sheumaker is definitely the top dentist in Polk County in my book! Thank you to everyone!

I highly recommend Dr. Sheumaker and staff. They are welcoming and very friendly. I felt comfortable while in the chair getting my teeth cleaned. He is one of the best dentists (and dentist offices) I have been to.

Great people! Before coming to Florida every dentist we went to found many cavities in my family of 6. Even when my kids were 7 years old, they wanted to do fillings on each one of them; which I did not believe and never had them done. We have been going to Dr. Sheumaker for 11 years and only found a couple of cavities in all of us in 11 years! We all have healthy teeth. Very professional and trustworthy.
