In addition to putting his patients first, Dr. Darnall has a calm demeanor and gentle chairside manner. He makes his patients feel so comfortable that many rave about and recommend Dr. Darnall to their friends.
But that’s not all that makes Dr. Darnall a great dentist. He’s also an overachiever when it comes to his dental education. After earning his D.D.S. from the University of Missouri-Kansas City, Dr. Darnall entered the school’s exclusive Advanced Education General Dentistry residency. Only 7% of practicing dentists complete this kind of residency that focuses on challenging restorative cases.
Every year, Dr. Darnall eclipses the Continuing Education (CE) requirements, taking courses ranging from implementing new techniques with his staff to learning the latest crown preparation and implant methods. He does this all in an effort to ensure his patients receive the highest level of treatment and experience little to no pain from dentistry.
Dr. Darnall also takes an active role in professional dentistry and his community. He serves as past president of the Greater Kansas City Dental Society and is a member of three study clubs. In addition, Dr. Darnall volunteers with Donated Dental Services and Give Kids a Smile, providing dental care for children in the community. He also participates in Dentistry From The Heart and Missouri Mission of Mercy.
When not at the office, Dr. Darnall can be found riding his bike and spending time with his wife, his daughter, and the family pets, Cricket and June Bug. Dr. Darnall enjoys treating patients of all ages. One of his primary goals for Suchman & Darnall Family Dentistry is to create a welcoming place for your family now and in the years to come. Ideally, Dr. Darnall would love to meet and treat generations of your family.
