Do you suffer from deep-seated smile lines or vertical lip lines? If so, or if you are dissatisfied with your lip volume, dermal filler treatment at your Marco Island, Florida dentist might be the solution. The Juvederm line of dermal fillers are comprised in part of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally produced by the body. One’s natural hyaluronic acid can be depleted over time due to sun damage, age, or genetic factors. Hyaluronic acid in Juvederm and works by attracting and absorbing water which adds volume to the skin. When Island Tower Dentistry’s Dr. Jonathan Van Dyke or Dr. Brian Garcia add dermal fillers to your cosmetic dentistry, your smoother, youthful looking skin will enhance the brightness of your smile.
Juvederm treatments at Island Tower Dentistry can be customized to meet your aesthetic needs and specifications. Based on patient consultation and facial assessment, Dr. Van Dyke or Dr. Garcia precisely injects the filler just below the wrinkles and in areas where there is a noticeable loss of volume in the face. The dermal filler helps fill in the wrinkles and lines, and promotes ongoing moisture absorption and retention, to give you a significantly younger and refreshed appearance.
The effectiveness of Juvederm injections can last for up to a year. Speak to Dr. Van Dyke or Dr. Garcia about return visits, or about conveniently scheduling Juvederm treatments as part of your routine checkup regimen. You may also want to consider combining your Juvederm treatment with Botox, as the combination treatment provides even more noticeable aesthetic results.

Dermal fillers are injections made of various substances, such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, or calcium hydroxylapatite, that are used to smooth out wrinkles, add volume to lips and cheeks, and enhance facial contours.
Anyone who wants to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles or add volume to specific areas of the face, such as the lips or cheeks, may be a good candidate for dermal fillers. It is important to discuss your medical history and any medications you are taking with your provider to ensure that dermal fillers are safe for you.
The length of time that dermal fillers last can vary depending on the type of filler used and the area treated. Generally, most dermal fillers last between six months and two years before they begin to break down and are absorbed by the body.
Most people experience only mild discomfort during the dermal filler procedure. However, your provider may apply a topical anesthetic or use a nerve block to numb the area being treated and minimize any discomfort.
As with any medical procedure, there are risks and potential side effects associated with dermal fillers. These can include bruising, swelling, redness, infection, and allergic reactions. However, these side effects are generally mild and resolve on their own within a few days.
The dermal filler procedure typically takes between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
You may experience some mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site for a few days after the procedure. Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions to follow, which may include avoiding certain activities and applying ice to the treated areas.
The cost of dermal fillers varies depending on the type of filler used, the areas being treated, and the provider you choose. You can expect to pay anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand dollars for dermal filler treatment. It is important to discuss the cost with your provider before the procedure to ensure that you are comfortable with the expense.
I have lived in fl for 20 years and island tower dentistry by far has some of the most professional staff that make you feel welcome and comfortable. I got my cleaning done by Gloria and May I say she gave me my confidence back.
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.
Great office and team. Really enjoyed my visit with Dr. Van Dyke, and his assistant Sofia was great. Highly recommend it!!
Very thorough and everyone is super friendly. Cody was my hygienist and she was the best!
Dental cleaning with Lorraine, new to the practice, was excellent. She is a great addition to the team. As always, the front office staff are delightful and efficient. We’ve been patients of the practice for many years and Dr Van Dyke has led a good transition.
Staff and Doctor is very friendly and knowledgeable. The most throughout exam I’ve had. Very detailed!
Dr. Van Dyke and his entire office staff were extremely friendly and professional. As a new patient with a lost filling, they immediately worked me into their schedule, and Dr. Van Dyke painlessly and perfectly repaired my tooth. I feel so relieved to have found such a great dentist and caring office staff.
The best! I’ve been going to this place for 15 years and they just keep making the experience better and nicer. Courteous, kind, on-time, and top-notch. You cannot go wrong with Island Tower Dentistry.
I am new to the area so was so pleased to find Island Tower Dentistry. All the staff is wonderful- friendly, knowledgeable. This practice uses the latest procedures & technology- pain free.
Great office! Amazing staff! Very attentive and knowledgeable doctor. We had an emergency situation where my moms bridge fell off while on vacation. We called the office and scheduled an appointment- everything was done in a very professional manner and the cost of the procedure was reasonable as well. Thank you for your help again!
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.
Cody is a very experienced, knowledgeable and thorough hygienist. She helped me to considerably improve the health of my gums. Thank you.
Just had my first, new patient experience. Very pleased with how pleasant the entire office operates from the front desk to the hygienist to the dentist! I had a thorough cleaning & examination with great communication and planning. I am very pleased 😀
Excellent experience getting my teeth cleaned. The staff are all very considerate, pleasant and knowledgeable.
I worked in the past as a dental assistant and with that experience, I can tell you this practice is at the top!! wonderful staff and great expertise. I highly recommend!!
Never have been to a dentists office where it was organized, thorough and sincere. The staff was amazing.
Would highly recommend! Wonderful staff, great patient care. No “dealer prep”, as has happened with another Marco Island dentist. I was very comfortable with this dental practice.
I was on vacation and lost my dental bridge (front teeth!) in the ocean. ITD got me in the next day and provided a replacement the same day. It saved my vacation!
Knowledgeable, patient and makes you feel very comfortable. This is coming from a person who really doesn’t like pain. Like the step by step explanations as to what they are doing. Would highly recommend.
The dentists at Island Tower Dentistry are top notch. When visiting family I’m Florida I had dental issues that required immediate attention, our family called their dentist and they were able to squeeze me in the next day. I certainly wish they were closer to home, I’d use them for all of my dentistry need.
Excellent dental office with friendly and professional staff. Doctor was outstanding.
Warm reception, consistently on time, very professional & thorough, and always a good experience. Strongly recommended!
