Patients with diabetes have an increased risk of getting gum disease and infections, with poor blood sugar control increasing the likelihood of gum problems. Gum disease is often painless and you may not even know you have it until it has already started causing serious damage. The best defense diabetics have against gum disease is regular dental visits.
Diabetes is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. Diabetes can cause: burning sensations, overgrowth of gum tissue, abnormal wound healing, tooth decay, periodontal disease, fungal infections, fruity (acetone) breath, dry mouth, and thickness of saliva. These problems are usually related to oral changes that occur in people who have diabetes.
Island Tower Dentistry has been successfully treating its diabetic patients for many years and strives to make dental care a safe and uneventful treatment regime for them. Therefore, when you schedule your visit to our office, plan to follow the recommendations included in our “dental procedures” below.

I had a great experience, Gloria is the best hygienist ever. Professional, personable, efficient, and very thorough. I can’t say enough good things about Gloria, Dr. Van Dyke and the rest of the staff.
Have always had a good experience here. Always professional and courteous.
I’m so glad I chose Island Tower Dentistry for my emergency visit. While visiting Marco Island a crown fell off my molar. They were able to get me in within 24 hours and fixed it! Dr. Van Dyke was very personable and took his time to make sure it was done properly. I did not… feel rushed, yet everyone was very efficient! The front desk gal is a pleasure! All the assistants and staff were equally wonderful! This is definitely my go to dentist while on the island!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Read more “Highly Recommend”
As with every visit, I have received courteous and gentle care (and painless shots) from these dental professionals. I recommend Island Tower Dentistry to one and all.
What a great office! Everyone is so nice and caring.
I love the team at this office. Everyone is always so friendly and happy to see you. Dr. Van Dyke puts me at ease and is so gentle. It makes going to the dentist a pleasure.
The technician who worked on me is terrific. In the past few years best cleanings ever.
As is always the case, the staff were friendly, efficient, and caring. I am very pleased with the oral care I am receiving from Island Tower!
From the moment you walk into Island Tower’s office you feel some of that “going to the dentist” anxiety disappear. The front desk staff welcomes you with a smile, answers your insurance and procedural questions thoroughly and honestly. They offer a quality of warmth and attentiveness that immediately help puts you at ease. Dr. Schulze,… his team of dental assistants, and hygienists are exceedingly professional and gentle with the care of each patient. They form relationships with their clients which is something I find lacking in most medial/dental facilities these days. They make you feel comfortable asking questions and are eager to make the experience positive. They have the most modern equipment and technology giving each patient the best possible care available. Their facility is immaculate and clean. I feel lucky to have found this gem of a dental practice! Read more “Warmth & Attentiveness”

Excellent dental office with friendly and professional staff. Doctor was outstanding.
An exceptional experience from the very first phone call. They squeezed me in for an emergency appointment, consulted with me over numerous appointments to ensure I had all the information for the major work I was having done. Everyone, from the front desk to the dental technicians was extremely professional, friendly, knowledgeable and skilled. Dr… Schulze was fantastic. He was consultative and reassuring and helped me make the decision that was right for me. And I am thrilled with the final outcome and product. I highly recommend Dr. Schulze and Island Tower Dentistry. Read more “Exceptional Experience”
Cody did an excellent job! She is the best hygienist I’ve had, very knowledgeable and kind. DR VAN Dyke is Great! Thank you for everything
Was scheduled for a cleaning and asked about possibly smoothing out a chip. Cleaning was fast sand painless. Doctor came in to take a look and fixed my chip in mins! Island tower dentistry really cares about their patients and provides great service!
I had a dental emergency this afternoon around 3:15. I called the office as a complete stranger, explained my situation. They had me in the chair by 3:45. The staff and Dr Van Dyke were efficient, pleasant, and highly competent. I was patched up and finished by 4:30. I was also pleased with the reasonable… cost; especially for a call from a stranger just needing some help. Impressive office staff and young dentist.

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!
Was taken in at the appointed time. Treatment was quick and professionally executed with new modern equipment. Atmosphere was pleasant and caring. Fee was very reasonable for services performed
This was my first appointment at Island Tower Dentistry. The dentist and his staff were very thorough and explained each step they were taking. After x-rays and the exam, Dr. Van Dyke reviewed each x-ray with me and went through my treatment plan. The dental hygienist was gentle and careful to insure maximum comfort throughout… the cleaning process. An added bonus was a first time patient discount of more than 50%. I am a very satisfied patient. Read more “Satisfied Patient”
Cory the dental hygienist did an excellent job. She is very thoughtful and communicates well with regards to the issues and process to correct.
I haven’t been to the dentist in several years as I am extremely fearful and anxious. But Dr. Van Dyke and his staff made me feel very welcome and very calm. I had a wonderful cleaning and moving forward I could not recommend a better team to take care of my dental needs. They are… trustworthy, reliable, responsible, and truly take pride in caring for their patients. Read more “Takes Pride in Patient Care”
Fantastic office!!! Everyone is very professional, caring and friendly. I would highly recommend Dr. Van Dyke and his team of wonderful ladies.
Great dentist on our little island. Modern, full services and comprehensive knowledge of the latest techniques. I recommend them to everyone.
Just had a session with a first class hygienist. She was exceptionally professional in her manner and technique.
Dr. Van Dyke went out of his way to make my son feel comfortable in one of his first experiences in a dental office. His kindness and wonderful attitude made this experience a very pleasant one. We will go nowhere else from now on. Despite the drive from Naples to Marco Island, the trip is… so well worth it. Read more “Wonderful Attitude”
I had a cleaning today and I have to say I am very impressed with the front staff and with Cody who is my hygienist.
Best experience I could of asked for with going to see the dentist. From the minute I walked into the building to the minute I left, the staff made it a joyful experience. Also an extra thank you to Cody for making my experience as pain free as possible and pleasant, with great laughs along… the way. I Would recommend to anyone and everyone, 10/10. Make sure to ask for Cody ! Read more “Joyful Experience”
I have been using Island Tower Dentistry since 2013 – three time per year. My experience has always been great. With a couple of retirements since I first started coming to them, I want to acknowledge some of the new staff. Cody my, hygienist, does a great job. Very professional and personable. Angela, Hanna, and… Hanna B. Teresa, and Gloria – and Dr. Van Dyke of course – make a great team. I can recommend them with confidence. Read more “Can Recommend with Confidence”
Everyone at the office is welcoming and do their jobs well. Like everyone there but glad I only see them several times a year for teeth cleaning!
I called Dr. Van Dyke’s office and explained my emergency situation. I was then told to come right over and would be squeezed in. My problem was then rectified very quickly. All future options were explained in detail. Doctor and staff are top notch!
