As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Dardano offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Swollen Gums: If your gums are puffy and red, it could indicate gum disease; your dentist can identify the severity and help manage or treat the inflammation with professional cleaning and instructions for improved home care.
- Tartar Buildup: If plaque isn't removed by brushing and flossing, it hardens into tartar, which your dentist can scrape off to keep your mouth healthy.
- Toothache: A toothache is pain in or around a tooth, and your general dentist can diagnose the cause (like a cavity or infection) and provide treatment like fillings or root canals.
- Mouth Conditions: Your dentist is your go-to healthcare provider for various mouth conditions, offering solutions from simple cleanings to complex restorative procedures.
- Hypodontia: Hypodontia is a condition where some adult teeth don't develop, and a general dentist can work with you to figure out the right solutions for a complete and healthy smile.
- Dental Crowding: Dental crowding is when you have too many teeth for the available space, causing crookedness and potential bite problems; a general dentist can help manage crowding through various treatments.
- Halitosis: Persistent bad breath, known as halitosis, can be addressed by your dentist through professional cleanings, addressing gum disease, and recommending better oral hygiene practices.
This list represents some of the common conditions treated. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional.
To provide comprehensive and patient-centered care, Dr. Dardano offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Preseason Dental Exam: Protect your smile! A preseason dental exam allows your dentist to find and fix any dental problems that might worsen with increased activity.
- Sinus Augmentation: Before getting dental implants in the upper jaw, sinus augmentation may be needed to add bone, creating a stable area for the implants to fuse.
- Onlay Restoration: An onlay is a type of dental filling that covers a larger area of the tooth's surface compared to a simple filling, strengthening and protecting it from further damage.
- Local Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is a type of injection that numbs your mouth so you can have dental procedures done without pain.
- MDI Mini Dental Implant: For people who need a more secure fit for their dentures or want to replace missing teeth, MDI Mini Dental Implants offer a less invasive, potentially faster, and more affordable treatment option than standard implants.
- Limited Gum Surgery: If you have minor gum recession or gum inflammation, limited gum surgery can be a solution to improve gum health and prevent future complications.
- Restoring Teeth: Restorative procedures, such as fillings and crowns, repair teeth to prevent further damage and improve your smile.
Service availability can change. To understand which services are appropriate for your specific health needs, please schedule a consultation to develop a personalized care plan.
All medical services are provided in accordance with the standard scope of practice for their professional license in Texas.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Dardano:
- How is my dental health connected to my overall health, like my heart?
- Your oral health is critically linked to your overall health, including your heart. Bacteria from chronic gum disease can enter your bloodstream, increasing your risk for heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care isn't just about your teeth; it's an essential part of maintaining your overall well-being.
- My medications make my mouth constantly dry. Is this a dental problem?
- Yes, dry mouth (xerostomia) is a common side effect of many medications. Saliva is the body's natural defense against cavities, so a dry mouth significantly increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Dr. Dardano can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- Are dental implants a good option for replacing missing teeth?
- Dental implants are often an excellent long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. They provide a secure foundation for a crown or bridge that looks and feels like a natural tooth, and can help preserve the jawbone.
- What is the difference between a crown and a filling?
- A filling is like a patch to repair a small area of a damaged tooth. A crown is a cap that covers the entire tooth, providing strength and protection when a tooth is significantly damaged, cracked, or has had a root canal.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- Most patients benefit from a check-up and cleaning every six months, even if they aren't experiencing any pain. These visits are essential for preventing problems like cavities and gum disease, which can be caught and treated early. Our team can also remove tartar buildup during these appointments.
- What is an oral cancer screening and is it part of my check-up?
- An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless part of every routine dental exam. Dr. Dardano will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is crucial for successful treatment.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, the jawbone and gums change shape, sometimes causing dentures to loosen. A relining procedure can reshape the denture for a better fit, or a new denture may be needed if the current one is significantly worn. A proper fit is essential for comfortable eating and speaking.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root, or by worn-down enamel. Dr. Dardano can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that could be causing the sensitivity.
