Dr. Mark Clark graduated Pi Tau Sigma with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Alabama in 1972. He then attended dental school at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Dentistry and graduated with honors in 1976. After earning his medical degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 1980, he served his general surgery internship from 1980 through 1981. He completed his residency in oral and maxillofacial surgery, at which time he held the position of chief resident, in 1982.

Dr. Clark opened his private practice of oral and maxillofacial surgery in 1983 in Birmingham. He previously served as Chief of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at St. Vincents Hospital for nine years. He maintains a position of clinical assistant professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Dentistry. He serves on the board of the McCallum UAB Alumni Society.

In July 2002, he and Dr. Holmes joined practices at a state-of-the-art outpatient surgery facility located in the historic Southside neighborhood of Birmingham. They have since opened other locations in downtown Trussville, Gardendale, and in the community of Inverness. In July 2019, Dr. Smith joined the practice and the trio opened a fifth location in Alexander City soon after. The group offers a wide range of treatments including extractions, orthognathic surgery, dental implants, cosmetic, and reconstructive procedures.

Can not recommend Dr. Smith enough!! I am on day 6 post-op and have only had to take Advil a couple times for pain. I was in and out of the procedure within 30 minutes and quickly recovered from the anesthesia. I highly recommend Clark Holmes Smith!

The Greystone office was great from scheduling to the procedure. The receptionist was patient in helping me find an appointment to accommodate my schedule . Dr. Smith was very polite. The evening call from the office helped to answer some questions I had. I highly recommend this practice.

Dr Blake Smith and his staff are amazing. The dreaded removal of wisdom teeth went as smoothly as could be. I was very pleased with the communication and the explanations before and after. I highly recommend Dr Smith and his professional staff.

Horrible Planning. They made an appointment for a month out to have my child's wisdom teeth taken out. I filled out all the paperwork online, attached insurance card, everything. They waited until the day of the surgery to tell me insurance requires the doctor to have a consultation first before approving it. Even though they know that insurance well enough to know it could take weeks before approval, they didn't know we needed a consultation first? Also, why not let me know ahead of time that it wasn't approved and that our appointment would actually be a consultation instead of surgery? I took the day off work, made sure my son didn't eat or drink anything, had everything worked out just to be told I had to wait another month or more because now I needed to wait on insurance. I understand how insurance works, that it takes time and there are hoops you have to jump through. I am not, however, understanding when it comes to offices not informing you of changes to your appointment. They even sent out a reminder of the surgery appointment the day before! They blamed the lack of insurance approval on not having X-rays until the day before our appointment, which is part of getting the insurance to approve the surgery, even though the X-rays were sent the day the appointment was made (a month prior). Very unorganized. Chose a different doctor because of this.

The whole staff were very professional. I had an appointment for the next week, but because I was in severe pain, they worked me into their schedule. And because of past experience at other dentist I chose to be put under anesthesia for procedure, this was a great decision, and if I ever need another tooth removed, I will absolutely go back to Dr Clark.

The entire office was extremely professional, the facility was super clean, my procedure was time efficient, and the staff made I did not experience any pain and discomfort during my procedure. Lori/front desk definitely to care of my work and daughter excuse to return back. I absolutely fell inlove with this place.

If you're delaying any needed work due to fear...delay no more! Although my oral surgery two days ago was extensive, I've had absolutely no down time since leaving the recovery room. I feel wonderful. Bleeding stopped by the end of the day. Yesterday afternoon I decided to ditch pain killers in favor of one aspirin every 4 or 5 hours...which actually works better for me. 60 hours in and I only have some minor aching left, with healing already visibly in progress. With their friendly and cheerful dispositions, everyone I met on staff made me feel immediately at ease and comfortable -especially Dr. Smith- who I actually feared meeting the most. To say I feel somewhat foolish now for having put this off until it became an emergency situation is an understatement. That said, I highly recommend Clark Holmes Smith without reservations.
