N. Mario Dinardo, D.M.D.

North Buffalo’s transit corridor hides fewer surprises than N. Mario Dinardo, D.M.D. Regulars know the strip for strip malls and quick stops, yet this tiny office keeps turning up specialized questions whenever someone cracks a molar or loses a bridge.

Send visitors south on Transit Road through Sloan and into Depew before you reach the low brick rectangle at 4708 Transit Rd D Depew, NY 14043. Here the oral surgeon slot on the door changes hands often enough that some locals still call it the ‘root-canal house’ long after the letters were painted.

Whether it’s extracting wisdom teeth, repairing fractured jaws, or rehabilitating jaw joints, the phones hum earlier and stay lit later than most practices scattered across Erie County. Make the call: (716) 668-3315; afternoons seem busier, so early slots vanish fastest and weekend breaks stay open.

A left turn at Kmart puts you in front of the building, but an online map delivers the sharper route. Enter the address once into the maps listing and the blue line appears even when the sky stays gray.
