Ever since his childhood days in Plano, TX, Dr. Darren Dickson has had an appreciation for the ways dentistry can change lives. At an early age, he was fascinated with the smile transformation of his sister, Deanne, an extreme thumb-sucker until she received braces. When Dr. Dickson saw the remarkable cosmetic, anatomic, physiologic, and psychological changes that took place after her orthodontic treatment, he knew he wanted to be part of the transformation process in giving others beautiful, healthy smiles as well.
As his appreciation evolved into a fascination with how oral and overall health connect, Dr. Dickson decided to pursue a career in the field thats led him to become a well-respected dentist in his hometown of Plano, TX.
Dr. Dicksons path began at Plano Senior High School and then Texas A&M Universitywhere he earned a liberal arts and biology degree in 1991. From there, he completed his doctor of dental surgery(D.D.S.) degree at Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas and studied dental implantology at the University of Texas Health Science Center.
Throughout his career, hes earned high praise, elected by the Consumers Research Council as one of 'Americas Top Dentists,'voted Planos 'Best Aesthetic Dentist'by the Star Local Media Readers Choice Awards, and voted 'Super Dentist'by Texas Monthly magazine.
Dr. Dickson aims to transform dentistry so our patients at My Dentist in Plano are informed, confident, and empowered to take control of their oral health. His experience as a teaching faculty member at the CARD Institute (Center for Aesthetic Restorative Dentistry) since 2006, as well as his participation in such highly regarded groups like the North Texas Dental Society, American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, Academy of General Dentistry, American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, and Academy of Biomimetic Dentistry, all speak to his ongoing commitment to cutting-edge dentistry.
