Gum infections and periodontal disease are among the most common ailments affecting people in the United States. More than 60% of North Americans over age 35 suffer from some form of periodontal disease, which has been linked to other health problems such as heart disease, strokes, diabetes and certain types of cancer.
Oral science has identified 13 different types of pathogens known to cause gum disease. When your immune system or oral health is under stress it increases the risk that those periodontal pathogens present. Some factors that can cause your oral health to wane are physical and emotional stress, hormone imbalances, smoking, infections, and asthma.
Up until recent times, periodontal disease could only be diagnosed for treatment through clinical signs and observable symptoms, a process that could take years as patients may not be aware of what symptoms constitute periodontal disease.
Now, with the utilization of DNA testing, Island Tower Dentistry has a proven method of identifying periodontal disease and determining how susceptible you may be to it, allowing us to act before the disease and symptoms can be spread any further.
The DNA test itself is painless and merely involves swabbing the inside of the cheek with a cotton swab. The sample is analyzed and the results show which oral bacteria are present in the patient. Using the results from the test, our dentists are able to diagnose and effectively treat gum disease.
Front desk was polite and punctual. My hygienist, Cody, was outstanding. She was thorough, professional, and skillful yet also personable. I was impressed.
From the dentists to the receptionists, the entire staff is outstanding! They all make going to the dentist an actual pleasure. I had to have a new crown and the complete procedure was painless.
Amazing dental office! Dr. Van Dyke uses all the latest technology with his patients- from 3D scanners for crowns, CBCT imaging, LANAP, painless injection techniques, and so much more! The staff is always friendly and caring and very accommodating in terms of scheduling and emergency visits. I highly recommend Island Tower Dentistry to all my… friends and family!

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.

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!

I would strongly recommend Island Tower. The staff is so friendly and professional. It’s the only dentist I’ve ever been to where you honestly do not feel the needles
This is one of the best dentist visit I have had all my life. Dr. Schulz and staff goes way beyond their call of duty. The time that is taken to explain every step of how important your oral health is i can assure you is like no other. Some doctors do a quick stop… and then u are out but this office i can and will highly recommend for their service and you will enjoy your clean in a quiet and loving environment.

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!

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”

Incredibly friendly office starting with the receptionist Angela and everyone else involved. They made sure to see me the day I called with one of those dental emergencies and did an outstanding job for this Snow Bird. Would highly recommend.
I had just driven down from Ohio to Marco Island and woke up with enormous pain and a swollen face. I googled dentists and found Island Tower Dentistry in Marco Island and chose them because of their outstanding reviews. I called and was able to see Dr. Van Dyke within an hour. Everyone was so… nice and so accommodating. X-rays were taken and Dr. Van Dyke showed me what the problem was. He referred me to a endodontist who took care of me as I needed a specialist. I would highly recommend Island Tower Dentistry and I look forward to coming back when I am in Marco Island and need a dentist. Thank you Island Tower Dentistry Read more “Nice and Accomodating”
