Clark Dennis,DMD

My daughter had her wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. Clark over her spring break. I know, Mom of the Year for planning such a fun activity over break! Anyway, the surgery went smoothly, she had no complications and very little discomfort, and Dr. Clark and his staff were all fantastic.
Enough said. If referred to him, know you are in good hands.

I fractured a major molar which had to be removed, the gum/​bone prepared, and an implant put in. I was really anxious about the work, but I can’t speak highly enough of Dr. Clark. He is low key and straightforward, makes sure you understand what he thinks, what the choices are, the pros and cons of the choices, invites you to ask questions, express concerns, etc.
One thing I especially appreciated is that the first doc I talked to about the tooth automatically included a bond graft in his description of what he would do. (It costs $ 350.) But Dr. Clark said a bone graft is needed only in certain circumstances, there’s no reason to do one automatically. He said he would be able to tell if I would need one as soon as he got the broken tooth out and looked into the socket. Turned out I didn’t need one, though I’m pretty sure the first doc would have done one and charged me for it.
When it came time to do the work Dr. Clark was reassuring, did what could be done to minimize pain, and did the painful stuff as quickly and expertly as possible. He also described to me what he was doing as he did it, which I appreciated.
Others have mentioned that he called them later the evening of the surgery. He did that for me, too. Asking how my recovery was going, if I had any concerns or questions. Very unexpected and much appreciated.
No one would choose to have oral surgery, but if you have to have it done, I can recommend Dr. Clark without hesitation.

My daughter was referred here for wisdom teeth. I had read up on watchful waiting, but was certain that a surgeon would pressure us to have them removed. But it wasn’t a sales job at all. In fact, before I could even broach the idea of watchful waiting, he said that would be his recommendation. I was seriously impressed.

Well my husband has to get his wisdom teeth removed and we were referred to Dr. Clark from our regular dentist. Our first impression wasn’t a good one. The receptionist was short and rude with my husband at this original consultation. When I called to schedule the teeth extraction, she was again curt and rude. However, when we went in for the actual surgery, the nursing staff and doctor were amazing. She took great care of my husband, he was exceptionally nervous, giving him a cold compress, staying light hearted and getting him a Snapple. Then, Dr. Clark called that night at 8pm to check up on my husband. WOW That was going the extra mile! It was worth the rudeness we faced on the front end to get such great care on the back end.

I was in here a few days ago to have all 4 of my wisdom teeth taken out. Since one of them was causing a lot of pain they went the extra mile to get me in for the consult ASAP and then scheduled the surgery for the next day. The procedure started on time and only took 45 minites start to finish. The only discomfort I felt was the IV Sedation line going into my arm. After that I woke up. The doc called later that night to see how everything was going.
The doctor, the staff, and the facility were all great! I hope to never ever have to go back to an oral surgeaon but, if I have to, this will be the place to go!

Let me preface this with a caveat. I fear dentists and their tools. And Dennis Clark is one of the most dreaded type of dentists. an Oral Surgeon! Yikes.
That being said, he does good work, my appointment times have always been met and he liberally prescribes pain meds for post op care. The staff are friendly and efficient, the billing person is knowledgable about a variety of insurance coverages and will pre qualify you or refund your money if you pay up front and insurance comes thru. Appointments are easy to get without a lot of waiting.
I had to have a tooth implant, put in by another dentist, removed. I am going back to that dentist for replacement because it is guaranteed but it wasn’t practical for me to go there for the removal and bone graph that will take 6 weeks or so to heal… my other dentist is in Costa Rica-​where implants are about ¼ the cost of here in the US.
Clark, though not particularly pleased at the work done in Costa Rica-​it wasn’t done the way he would have done it– did my oral surgery in as painless and timely manner as could be done. And without an excess of criticism, though he didn’t really agree with what was done.
What more can one ask from a doctor who is fixing another doctors problem.
