Today’s methods for preserving teeth through endodontic therapy mark a far cry from the old methods used in the past. Major advances in dental service technology and treatment procedures now make this very useful and beneficial treatment routine for thousands of patients every day.
When a tooth’s nerve becomes infected, root canal therapy is used to get rid of the infection within the tooth. This modern, comfortable treatment is responsible for saving millions of teeth from extraction. We have been providing basic endodontic therapy at Island Tower Dentistry for over 25 years now.
Having a root canal at Island Tower Dentistry involves removal of the infected pulp tissue in order to save the tooth. A dentist does this by accessing the pulp area by drilling through the enamel. After the infected pulp is removed, the resultant cavity is cleaned, filled and then sealed to prevent any future infections. To prevent any future breaking or cracking of the weakened tooth, capping it with a crown is usually recommended as a final step.
Completion times for root canals varies depending upon the severity of each individual situation. Performed under local anesthetic, or oral conscious sedation, if you elect it, a root canals is a pain-free and low-risk procedure. Recovering from a root canal depends on the number of visits needed to complete the procedure, though usually no more than two are needed.

Entire staff very friendly and helpful. I am from out of town. Had a dental issue. Dr. Van Dyke was friendly, helpful and informative. Teresa, his assistant, was also very sweet. Would definitely recommend this dental practice!
I can’t stress enough how impressed I am with this dentist office. These individuals really make your visit comfortable. If your looking for a new dentist I would look no further.
Dr Van Dyke is wonderful! My teeth were fractured and in horrible condition. Dr van Dyke assessed my issues, made a plan of attack and over several months restored my smile and my teeth. He also did surgery on my gums to prevent tooth loss. All this was done painlessly! He is kind and a… dentist that is serious about helping patients! Read more “Dentist who Cares”
I can’t recommend Dr. Van Dyke and his staff highly enough. The entire experience with his staff was wonderful and Dr. Van Dyke was incredibly diligent and informative throughout. The office is gorgeous and he is very progressive with his technology and protocol. Look no further for a dentist you can trust and who puts… their patients first. Read more “Dentist You Can Trust”
First time patient. Very pleased. Efficient yet friendly. Most thorough dental exam I’ve ever experienced. Looking forward to a long relationship.
Just had a session with a first class hygienist. She was exceptionally professional in her manner and technique.
Cody is great! She has a great patient manner, and makes you feel comfortable the whole time. Makes me enjoy going to the dentist!
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!
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!
Everyone here is highly professional & very nice. Top notch.
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.
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.
Excellent experience getting my teeth cleaned. The staff are all very considerate, pleasant and knowledgeable.
I had my scheduled teeth cleaning today November 2nd With Cody the hygienist who Was fabulous. Also I was examined by doctor Van Dyck who noted a few things for us to watch. The whole staff is very efficient and pleasant to deal it. Thank you island tower dentistry!
Friendly front desk staff, knowledgeable hygienist and Dr Schulze. A winning combination!
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.
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.
I would highly recommend this office to anyone. Courteous, professional, caring and friendly. They got me in the same day I called. I will definitely go there again. Great job!
We had just started going here and loved the care given by Dr. Schulze and his team only to find out a little while later that he was retiring. So we gave his replacement, Dr. Van Dyke a try and we really like him. He’s gentle, patient and explains things very well. I like that… he is young and they optimize the most modern procedures, equipment, etc. The entire staff is great. One of the reasons we left our previous dental practice was because they were so “marketing” focused and they were way over the top. This practice has been perfect for us. They all do an outstanding job from booking appointments to after-care. Read more “The Entire Staff is Great”
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.
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.
I have been a patient of Dr. Hermann Schulze for a very long time and when I heard the news about a new dentist coming on board I was a bit nervous at first, but at the same time I knew Dr .Schulze wouldn’t let us down with who he chose to be on their… team. So far I have NO complaints about the work Dr. Van Dyke did on my crowns a couple days ago. I had to get two temporary crowns put in before the real ones get put in. Since it’s been a couple days since he worked on me, other than the usual pain I don’t feel any awkwardness in my bite. That was the most I was concerned about. I am very pleased and happy and also thankful that he did such a great job. He was very steady with the drill and would always make sure I was okay while he was working on me. I felt very comfortable. I also love everyone else there everyone has always been super nice. Hannah was Dr. Van Dyke’s assistant and she was very sweet and helpful. I definitely suggest if you haven’t tried them out yet, you won’t be disappointed!! Read more “You Won’t be Disappointed”
Had a dental cleaning for my husband and myself and Gloria did an excellent job. My husband hasn’t been to a dentist in years out of fear of the dentist but Gloria was very understanding, explained what she was going to do and how she was going to do it. She was very patience &… has a light hand. 10/10 recommend. Read more “10/10 Recommend”
Great people, great dental care. Highly recommend for all dental needs. Simply the best. Cody did a wonderful job and got me in and out on a busy day.
Had my “introductory “ visit today. Tomorrow is teeth cleaning appt. The office is beautiful and the staff couldn’t be nicer. Dr Van Dyke was very Thorough And I’m looking forward to having him as my dentist
Can’t say that going to the dentist is one of my favorite things to do but I can say that Dr. Schulze and his crew make it less stressful and really seem to care about doing it right. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for excellent care.
Every appointment has been timely, the staff are providers of excellent client service. Dr. Van Dyke and his dental assistants provide extraordinary dental care in an efficient and timely manner with the most up to date equipment available in the field today. Island Tower Dentistry deserves all five stars and more.
Island Tower Dentistry is the most professional dental office I have ever visited. With their continuous education among staff members, there is no wonder why I leave there knowing I received the best treatment. On top of that, it is a very warm and welcoming office to step into. I actually enjoy going to my… appointments! Read more “Best Treatment”
Just had another session with Cody, a first class hygienist. As usual, she was exceptionally professional in her manner and technique.
I had an excellent experience at Island Tower as a new customer. The hygienists and Dr. Van Dyke spent a significant amount of time reviewing my X-Rays and explaining the steps they were taking while they were doing them. I am very happy with their thorough examination and overall upbeat and professional demeanor.
