Island Children's Dentistry and Orthodontics
Island Children’s Dentistry and Orthodontics is the latest pediatric dental practice serving the Northern Virginia area, headed by Dr.Gema Island.
Remember your last visit to the dentist? Okay for you but something was definitely missing for your kids. Now imagine this instead: open the door and you’re greeted by a colorful salt-water aquarium, iPad stations with video games, kids-only areas, open spaces for play and interaction, and music, all just for kids. We all know we like to repeat those things that make us feel great, right? For kids

Last weekend, Dr. Island and Ariana had the opportunity to attend the conference in Clearwater, Florida. They attended Dr.Richard Baxter’s lecture and learned a lot about the symptoms of mouth breathing and how breathing through the mouth affects the true growth of the face and mouth.

Congratulations to Dr. Island on her well-deserved recognition as Top Dentist 2025! As a Board-Certified pediatric dentist and a graduate of TUFTS University (Class of 2005), Dr. Island is passionate about helping children maintain healthy smiles and supporting proper growth and development of the mouth and face.
Her expertise includes airway assessment, tie releases, laser dentistry, and pediatric sedation. Beyond her practice, she is deeply committed to community service, having spent summers in Guatemala with the International Esperanza Project to provide dental care for children in need. Locally, she supports youth sports, 5Ks, the Give Kids a Smile project, and school visits to promote good dental hygiene. Last year, she also contributed to the renovation of the McLean Central Playground.
Dr. Island is an active member of the Tysons Regional Chamber of Commerce and an expert contributor to McLean Living magazine. Her dedication to both her profession and her community makes this recognition truly well-earned. Congratulations again, Dr. Island!
