A Thorough exam by a caring team. They took the time to explain my dental needs, in a comforting environment.

Staff was Fabulous!
Entire staff was fabulous on my recent visit. Dr. Van Dyke and his team were able to see me quickly to assess a toothache. Professional and thoughtful in their care.
Very Personable
All the staff is very personable. Dr. Was informative and honest about my treatment. This was my first experience with him after Dr Schultze (12+ yrs) and I was happy with style & treatment. Will continue my association.
Outstanding!
I had an initial appointment with Island Tower Dentistry for a check up and cleaning. All of the staff were very pleasant and helpful. The dental hygienist I was assigned, Cody, was outstanding! She did a tooth by tooth examination including x-rays and photos. She discussed any problems she identified and offered specific suggestions on how I could potentially resolve any problems that were identified. The cleaning was thorough and virtually painless. Dr. VanDyke reviewed the photos and x-rays, completed an examination of my entire mouth and discussed treatments that he thought were necessary. I was extremely satisfied with my initial appointment.

As the Former Owner…
As the former owner of Island Tower Dentistry, I am very proud of the way that Dr. Van Dyke has taken over the reins and transitioned the practice to his style, building his awesome team and delivering excellence in ultra modern dentistry. Cody did a great job cleaning my teeth, and Hannah and Angela always make me feel at home and special. The entire team is to be commended highly!
Wonderful Staff & Doctor
Wonderful staff and Dr! I had my first ever root canal and crown done at ITD. The fitment and procedure was top notch using the latest technology. I also had a dental cleaning from Gloria. She was very pleasant and informative. Would recommend to anyone visiting or living in the area!
