Meet Dr. Darshan Naidu

Compassionate Care Comes First

Transforming lives through dentistry is what drives me. Whether it’s relieving pain, restoring function, or boosting confidence, I’m honored to play a role in helping my patients feel their best.

Many people come to me with dental anxiety, and I see it as a meaningful challenge to turn fear into trust. Watching someone go from nervous to relaxed—even excited—for routine visits is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.

Education & Experience

Helping others is in my DNA—I grew up in a family of physicians. My path to dentistry began during a mission trip to Costa Rica and Nicaragua, where I saw firsthand how oral health impacts overall well-being.

• Undergraduate: University of Florida

• Dental School: Harvard School of Dental Medicine

• Residency: Nova Southeastern University, focused on medically complex cases and advanced restorative care

• Implant Training: Studied under Dr. Arun Garg in Miami; earned Fellowship status with the International Dental Implant Association

I stay at the forefront of dental innovation through ongoing education and active membership in professional organizations, including:

• American Dental Association

• Florida & West Coast Dental Associations

• American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry

• Manatee Dental Society

• Academy of General Dentistry

• International Dental Implant Association

• Frank Spear Study Club

Life Outside the Office

Bradenton is home—I love being close to family and friends. When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll find me traveling, golfing, fishing, playing tennis, scuba diving, or cheering on my favorite football, basketball, and baseball teams.

I look forward to welcoming you to Naidu Dental and providing care that’s both expert and empathetic.
