Oral Conscious Sedation Dentistry

Oral Sedation Dentistry
Sedation Dentistry in Marco Island

Oral conscious, or sedation dentistry, allows us to use medication that helps our patients relax before, during, and after dental procedures. There are two levels of sedation that are typically provided to our patients: minimal sedation, which is a simple relaxer; and moderate (conscious) sedation, wherein you will not recall much of the procedure and you may slur your words. Along with your requested sedation, a local anesthetic is usually needed for most procedures.

Considering Oral Sedation Dentistry
- Suffer from a low pain threshold.
- Fidgit or squirm while in the dentist’s chair.
- Have a sensitive gag reflex.
- Need a large amount of dental work completed.
Sedation dentistry has allowed many people to get the dental care they need that they otherwise would not have received for fear of the dentist. Our dentists are trained to administer and monitor sedation. We are determined to help every patient become as comfortable and relaxed as possible using established methods and protocols. Oral sedation allows us to effectively treat a growing number of patients who previously would not have visited the dentist, putting their oral health at greater risk.

Very professional and yet felt very comfortable with my hygienist. She explained everything and was asking if I was okay with the procedure. I was!
Wonderful Attitude
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.

Cody is the best! So gentle and informative. Encouraging of good practices. Keeps track of progress and works to keep my teeth in great shape!
So Friendly, Professional and Kind
I had a painful tooth and required X-rays to determine the problem. I messaged the office on Sunday and was contacted first thing Monday morning. Today’s appointment was so pleasant. X-rays were explained and options discussed. Dr. Van Dyke and his staff are so friendly, professional and kind. I am so grateful to find a fabulous dental practice here on Marco during my stay.

Can Recommend with Confidence
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.
AMAZING!
From the moment I walked in, I knew this was going my new home for all my dental needs. From the receptionist, to the assistants, the doctors, to my wonderful hygienist – everyone was so professional and kind. I cannot say enough good things about Lorraine, my hygienist. AMAZING! So gentle, caring, and not to mention the best dental cleaning I have ever had. Not an ounce of pain, and she even kept checking on me to make sure I was okay throughout the cleaning. Top notch! Happy customer!
Kindness & Patience
I have been with my last dentist for 22 years so this place had some big shoes to fill. I have been to Island Tower for a cleaning and now a crown. Both times I have been treated with kindness and patience. I am an anxious patient and I could not have had a better experience!

First-time patient for Island Tower Dentistry with Lorraine as my hygienist. She was gentle and thorough with great detail.

I am very happy that I chose Island Tower as my current dental place.

I Feel So Relieved
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.
Staff was Wonderful
The office staff was wonderful. For the dentist they made it perfect and were well mannered. The CDH I had was Cody. I will say she was excellent. I told the doctor that he should give her a raise after putting up with me.
Reasonable Fees
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
Another Great Experience
Another great experience from Angela at check-in and out, Cody for cleaning, Dr. van Dyke for exam and Hannah for billing! Angela even went to the extra trouble to send me out with a fresh hot coffer👍🏼
Professional & Compassionate
Haven’t met Dr. Van Dyke yet, but Dr. Schulze is a complete professional & compassionate person thru-and-thru and the team he put together is hard to top. Yeni is the most comprehensive, knowledgeable, & detail-oriented hygienist ever. She keeps me in check.
