ABOUT
At Clark Dental we provide a variety of preventive, restorative, and cosmetic dental treatments, as well as emergency services. Our highly qualified and experienced dentists take a lot of pride in providing comfortable, safe, and effective dentistry.
Our practice is always at the forefront of the latest treatments and maintains the most modern equipment so that we can provide the absolute best care for your smile.
In fact, patients are often surprised to learn that Dr. Clark is considered a pioneer in modern dentistry, having developed many of the tools and procedures used in microdentistry (microscope-enhanced dentistry), and is the inventor of Bioclear, a vast improvement over dental composites and veneers you get at most dental offices. For this reason, many people—especially dentists—travel from around the world to get treated by Dr. Clark and his team.
Clark Dental believes that every single patient is important, and that less is more when it comes to your teeth and gums: we’ll never push treatments that aren’t necessary, and we’ll always present you with your full range of treatment options.
We like to get to know you and your family. Contact our practice today, and learn more about the care options we provide.
OUR APPROACH
First and foremost, we want our patients to enjoy going to the dentist. We want to get to know you, and every one of our staff and providers will go out of our way to make you and your family comfortable during your visit and happy with your results.
Moreover, we feel that a lot of people aren’t sure what to look for in a dentist. When people need crowns or other dental work, they often just stick with a familiar dentist without knowing that they have options, or that their dentist may be using materials or techniques that are outdated or inferior to what’s available.
At Clark Dental, we take the time to educate you. We give you a behind-the-scenes look at the tools and practices that dentists use, and inform you about your treatment options. We take ethics and our integrity seriously. We will always listen to you and will never recommend treatments or services that you don’t need.
We’re known for our use of microscopes to provide precise diagnostics and outcomes. And many patients come to us specifically for Bioclear treatments. The Bioclear Method yields beautiful, strong, long-lasting restorations that conserve more of your underlying tooth structure than other methods. It’s truly marvelous, and increasing in popularity around the world. And of course, we’ll be more than happy to talk with you about it.
MEET OUR TEAM
DAVID CLARK, DDS
Dr. David Clark is a groundbreaking cosmetic dentist and one of the pioneers in the use of the microscope in restorative dentistry. A 1986 graduate of the University of Washington School of Dentistry, he founded the Academy of Microscope Enhanced Dentistry and is codirector of Bioclear Learning Centers International.
In 2007, Dr. Clark developed the Bioclear Matrix, a set of devices that dramatically improved the outcomes possible in composite restorations, including cracked, chipped, or broken teeth, gaps between teeth, and more.
He went on to develop the Bioclear Method, a system of restorative dental procedures and protocols that, when combined in practice with Bioclear tools and materials, results in predictable, aesthetically pleasing, and long-lasting patient outcomes.
