About Tower Dental Associates

Invisalign cases here often involve adults, including some who transferred after rough experiences with aligner treatment elsewhere.

Tower Dental Associates is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign, traditional braces, and TMJ treatment. Beyond routine dental work, reviews point to Invisalign cases handled here, including one where a patient's earlier aligner experience elsewhere was successfully turned around, and adult patients in particular mention this care. Many reviews describe Dr. Samarkos, Dr. Rodriguez, and Dr. Diaz as thorough and gentle, with several patients noting comfort during procedures like fillings and extractions. A handful of reviews raise concerns about billing accuracy and treatment recommendations that a few patients questioned.
