About Dalton Dental

Dalton Dental provides dental care on West Gandy Boulevard in the Bayside West area of Tampa, Florida. Periodontics is the specialty focused on the gums and the bone supporting the teeth, handling more advanced gum disease, related surgical treatment, and — in many practices — dental implant placement, which sits naturally alongside that training.

Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.

Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.

Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.

Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

Can a periodontist save a loose tooth?
Sometimes. If the looseness comes from bone loss around the tooth, deep cleaning and periodontal treatment can stabilise it, though the outcome depends on how much support has already been lost.
What is gum recession and can it be treated?
Recession is when gum tissue pulls back and exposes more of the tooth root, often from aggressive brushing, gum disease, or grinding. Grafting procedures can cover exposed roots, though how well that works depends on the extent of the recession.
What causes bad breath and can a dentist help?
Persistent bad breath most often comes from bacteria on the tongue and around the gumline, and gum disease is a frequent underlying cause. Because it is usually oral in origin, a dental examination is a sensible first step.

I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. She diagnosed an issue I had incorrectly. So treatment she had done obviously did not work. I went back a couple of times with ongoing concerns. She kept reassuring me everything was good. Never took updated xrays. No CT scan, nothing. I ended up going to another periodontist. Turns out I had more significant bone loss and ended up needing to get 4 teeth pulled, bone grafting and have been going thru a long process of getting dental implants and permanent teeth which is costing me a huge fortune that could have been prevented. I would not trust this doctor by any means.

Plasantly surprised by the warmth and professionalism of the staff and the doctor.I'm new to Tampa and wanted a practice that would offer family dentistry and periodontal services. Dr. Dalton met my requirements. Another plus is the proximity to my home. From now on Dalton Dental is my office. I highly recommend it.

This dentist has alot to offer Tampa. Everyone was professional, nice, and kind. They took the time to make me feel comfortable. The aura of the place is welcoming. Pink is everywhere, which makes it more welcoming. A special thanks to Nelli for taking her time with the procedure I ordered. She really made me feel like I could come back anytime. I've been to a few dentist in Tampa, this has been the best experience thus far. Keep up the good work.

DALTON APPEARS TO BE PUSHING UNNECESSARY PROCEDURES. I came to Dalton as a new patient after not having had a cleaning for a couple years but with otherwise no big complaints. They diagnosed gum disease, requiring a "deep cleaning" under the gums, and they also said that two of my molars were so weakened by grinding that they risk cracking and need to be capped (total cost in the thousands). I went to another dentist (Dentistry on Swann: upscale, highly recommend!) for a second opinion. They recommended only a mouth guard at night and better hygiene but no invasive procedures. While there can be valid differences in opinion, both dentists measured my periodontal pocket depths to assess gum health. Dalton had many measurements in the 5-6mm range, while Swann had no measurements in that range (I was in the 2-3 mm range with a few 4mm). The magnitude of that discrepancy, and the different diagnosis of my molars (Swann assessed the enamel to be still looking very strong), feels quite problematic and has spurred me to leave this review.
