Services
From routine cleanings and fillings to bruxism devices, Island Dental Spa - YOUR HOLMES BEACH DENTIST is equipped to handle all your dental needs. If you have a life-threatening or severe injury, call 911 or go directly to the nearest hospital emergency room. We can treat a variety of traumatic dental injuries, including teeth that have been chipped, moved, or knocked out entirely.
Did you see the move Cast Away starring Tom Hanks? If so, you probably remember the scene where Hanks, stranded on a remote island, knocks out his own abscessed tooth - with an ice skate, no less - to stop the pain. Recently, Dear Doctor TV interviewed Gary Archer, the dental technician who created that special effect and many others.
If you have never had a cavity, congratulations! If you have had one, you are not alone. About 78% of us have had at least one cavity by the time we reach age 17, according to the U.S. Surgeon General. Fortunately there's a time-tested treatment for cavities: the dental filling and Island Dental Spa does them very well.
Although oral cancer may not get as much attention as some more widely-known types of cancer, that doesn't mean it's any less deadly. In fact, it is estimated that in the United States, oral cancer is responsible for killing one person every hour, every day. While it accounts for a relatively small percentage of all cancers, oral cancer is dangerous because it isn't usually detected until it has reached an advanced stage.
It is not a given that we must lose teeth as we age. If we maintain good oral hygiene and have regular professional cleanings and oral examinations, chances are we can keep our natural teeth for life. That involves not only caring for the teeth themselves, but also the structures that surround them: the gums and tooth-supporting bone.

I brought my 5 yr old to Island Dental Spa for a cleaning and check up, where he was treated by Dr. Maks. Dr. Maks found a cavity in my son’s molar, which made my son pretty nervous! The Dr let me stay in the room the whole time, showed me the problem spot, educated my son on proper brushing and the importance of flossing (which he has been doing every day since!). As you can see in my pictures, as soon as Dr. Maks began working on my son’s cavity, the playful and fun way the Dr. Maks treated my son put him at ease and he was smiling much of the time! He never even knew he received an injection

Dr. De la Riva is extremely impressive. His credentials are excellent and most importantly he is kind, gentle, thorough and extremely professional in his treatment of patients. The other members of his staff reflect the same ideals. Their advanced technology and his use of it to create a personalized dental evaluation and plan is impressive. I grew up in a family of dentists and am accustomed to caring, affordable, quality dental care. The Island Dental Spa feels just like home.

My favorite dentist office I’ve ever been to!
Affordable,very friendly staff, & they do excellent work.
Recently, had some crowns that had to go in.
Thought I’d have to wait weeks for them to be made off site..but, no, they make them at the office! Just one of the several times that I was surprised by their great service.

My wife and I have been visiting Dr. de la Riva since 2013 and he is a terrific dentist. He cares about his patients and has quickly accommodated us for emergency procedures (i.e. outside of business hours) more than once. He's also practices state-of-the-art dentistry regarding pain management and the technology he uses. Rather than investing in a Ferrari (!) he has 3D imaging systems and computerized milling equipment that can create a perfect crown or tooth in a matter of hours rather than days (what they used to take). I'm attaching a couple pix. Bottom line is that this is a dentist who cares
