Smile Makeover
Island Tower Dentistry
Smile Makeover
A smile makeover is a fully personalized treatment plan that can consist of several different dental treatments, all designed to work together to make your smile shine! Here are some of the most common treatments that Dr. Van Dyke or Dr. Whelen will consider for your smile makeover.
Veneers
A veneer is a thin covering of porcelain placed on a tooth, lending a beautiful appearance that can form a key part of any smile makeover. Veneers can be placed on any surface of the tooth for either aesthetic reasons or to address functional changes. When placed on the front surfaces of the front teeth, they are typically used to change shape, color, close spaces, repair extensive decay and regain correct dimensions from wear or trauma. They can block the stains from dark teeth and can also be placed on the biting surfaces of back teeth (onlays) to change the bite, restore worn tooth structure and/or decrease sensitivity. They can also be placed on the inside surfaces of certain teeth to improve the way the upper and lower jaw functions. Veneers provide an effective means to restore the proper form and function of your teeth, and ultimately, your smile.

Cosmetic Dentures
If dentures are the correct option for you, Dr. Van Dyke and Dr. Whelen have the skill set and attention to detail to create a set of dentures that look so natural that no one except you will ever know you wear them. Your custom denture can be comfortable and provide your face with support needed to give it a natural looking and more youthful appearance. If dentures are right for you, they can result in an incredibly effective smile makeover.
An additional process you may want to consider is the placement of implants under the dentures, which helps stabilize the dentures and provide a very effective chewing surface. With creative designs by our dentists, and a wide range of choices on how to attach the dentures to the implants, a smile makeover will not only allow you to be able to chew through hard and sticky foods, but also have the opportunity to uncover the roof of the mouth in the design, so you can regain the sense of texture and taste that traditional dentures have taken away.
Advanced Whitening
Professional tooth whitening is an excellent means of brightening up a dull smile. A whiter smile can help you feel better about yourself, and help you make a better impression. Drinking cola, tea, coffee, and red wine, as well as smoking, can contribute to stained and darkened teeth. Non-professional procedures and clinically unproven teeth whitening systems often lead to unsatisfactory results; however professional whitening can help your smile look its best.
We offer a variety of smile makeover whitening procedures that are custom designed for your particular case, including Zoom!,™ as well as several different types of custom tray procedures designed to safely and effectively whiten your teeth. For those very difficult to lighten cases, or cases which have not achieved the expected results, Island Tower Dentistry has discovered the most powerful and effective method known to whiten those stubborn cases—the KOR™ Whitening System. Please consult with our dentists to determine the best technique for your particular condition.
Cosmetic Sculpting
The contour of the gum tissue that helps frame the smile is a critical part of defining what makes a terrific and bright smile. Dr. Van Dyke and Dr. Whelen are absolute artists in creating the proper form to the gums by using a laser to gently sculpt the tissue.

Outstanding Dental Practice!
Outstanding dental practice, from the front office to the dental chair. I have the pleasure of having Cody as my regular hygienist, she does an outstanding job! Dr. Van Dyke has performed work on my teeth. Recently had a broken cap replaced, the fitting was right on the first try. I have never had a cap placement that was so quick and accurate. I would highly recommend this dental practice.

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!
Explained Everything
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!
Very Positive Experience
Beginning with the front office the experience was very positive. The entire staff was professional, friendly and welcoming. Dr Van Dyke and Cody, my hygienist, were informative and thorough with their respective exams and treatment suggestions without being overbearing. It was obvious the staff respected and worked well with each other. I am very pleased with my choice of dental care.

Very Friendly & Thorough
First time going to this dentist and him and the staff were very friendly and he was thorough.
Frankly Blown Away
I just had my first visit to Island Tower Dentistry and was frankly blown away by the warm and professional staff, Lorraine, and Dr. Van Dyke! Having recently moved to Marco, I was somewhat anxious about finding a dentist that would take the time to be thorough, explain what he is seeing, ask about my concerns, and formulate a game plan. Since I have required a fair amount of dental work in the past, I have found that many professionals have an unfortunate tendency to either disregard a patient’s input or have insufficient time or interest in explaining their observations and concerns. Therefore, I was extremely happy to have a very productive discussion with Dr. Van Dyke after a very comprehensive examination. I was also tremendously pleased by the exceptional cleaning that Lorraine performed. In all honesty, this was the gentlest cleaning I have ever had and she checked in frequently to be certain I was not having any discomfort. Finally, the staff was simply amazing. Very friendly, efficient , and communicative. I was taken in exactly on time felt as if my time was very respected throughout the visit. I saw several reviews saying that they felt like a member of the family and I have to agree with that comment. I will definitely be back and encourage anyone who is seeking dental services in the area to try Island Tower Dentistry. You will not be disappointed!

Dentist You Can Trust
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.
A Breeze
Doctor Van Dyke and his staff have a state-of-the-art office. Kind and efficient every time I have been there. Anesthetic which was always so painful, was a breeze, which eased my fears for two fillings and a crown. I highly recommend them to everyone for an easy experience. He even called that night to see how I was. He cares.
