Our Story
For many patients, dental emergencies don’t happen between nine and five. They happen after work, late at night, or when you least expect them — and finding help shouldn’t add to the stress. That reality is what shaped Dr W van der Walt Inc. & Night Owl Dental.
In late 2021, I met Dr W.W. Iwanik, a Polish dentist who had been caring for patients in the Brooklyn area for many years. He was well-known, deeply respected, and had built a wonderful practice that many in the community trusted.
At the time, I had started noticing how difficult it was for patients to find a dentist after hours when emergencies struck. I reached out to Dr Iwanik to ask if I could use his practice to help patients in pain after-hours. I’ll never forget the moment – he looked at me in disbelief, burst out laughing, and with his thick Polish accent said, “You’re crazy! Aren’t you tired enough of this job?” Then he handed me the keys to his practice.
In May 2022, I officially took over the practice. My goal has been simple ever since: to continue delivering honest, high-quality dental care – calmly, carefully, and with heart – whether it’s day or night, rain or shine.
I am proud to say that our practice has grown – we now have three full-time dentists who alternate covering weeknights and weekends for emergencies, ensuring our Night Owl patients are always cared for.
