Dr. PK Clark is a practicing dentist, lecturer, and surgical mentor. He received his DMD from Oregon Health Science University and maintained a successful private practice in the Portland, Oregon area for nearly 20 years.
After years of experience in his own growing practice, and in teaching dentists one-on-one, Dr. Clark saw the immense change implantology brings to general dentists and their patients. He saw a need to be filled and founded the unique WhiteCap Institute, which has allowed him to spend time building relationships and teaching on subjects he is most passionate about.
To continue expanding his skills and knowledge, Dr. Clark also maintains an implants-only practice in Utah. Both the clinical practice and the Institute are driven by the desire to offer exceptional patient-centered care.
Dr. Clark is also an active member in the dental community. He contributes to several societies, including the International Congress of Oral Implantology, the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, the Academy of General Dentistry, and the American Dental Association.
Dr. Riley Clark has been passionate about dentistry for decades. He began his discovery of dentistry as a young high school student. He was the janitor in his fathers practice in Portland, Oregon. In the early hours of the morning he would go to the office with his mom and clean every corner of the office in preparation for patient care, from bathrooms to treatment rooms, he became well-versed with dental offices! He later went on to be a dental assistant and work in the front office. His real passion for dentistry developed as he watched patients lives change through compassionate dental care. He noticed most patients seemed more like great friends with his dad than clients visiting a business. Likewise, he saw his father thoroughly enjoying what he did all day. It was compelling to witness the most magical thing of dentistry, the doctor-patient relationship. The doctor-patient relationship is what motivates Dr. Clark to offer the highest care in dental implantology.
Dr. Clark received his bachelors degree at Portland State University. He then attended Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio for his DMD degree. During dental school, Dr. Clark finished his requirements ahead of schedule. This allowed him to attend advanced training in IV sedation at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
For the last several years, Dr. Clark has been practicing at the prestigious WhiteCap Institute, a dental implant training center, in Utah. During those years, he performed thousands of implant surgeries and advanced bone grafting procedures. Because he excelled in clinical implantology, he was asked to begin teaching and mentoring doctors for WhiteCap. Hundreds of doctors can attend Dr. Clarks courses and learn the latest techniques and protocols for implant surgery and restoration. Today, Dr. Clark lectures around the country for various dental companies and dental societies in implant dentistry. He is best-known for his use of technology and digital workflows of implant dentistry.
Dr. Clark and his amazing wife, Kolt, have three energy-filled daughters. When not serving patients, he enjoys exploring southern Oregon with his family. His favorite thing to do is to cuddle with his family on the couch and watch Hallmark Christmas movies!

I went to Implant Center with mix of implants, partial, and decayed teeth. With Dr. Clark's help I was given an option of possible treatments, ranging in price. I chose the Cadillac, which was the best. I wondered if the results would be worth the cost. Today I have no question, my teeth are beautiful, just what I wanted. The staff was wonderful, welcoming and supportive. I am truly satisfied and highly recommend the implant center.

I was in the process of having six implants when my doctor resigned her job leaving the office with no doctor. In my search for a new implant doctor, I was very fortunate to discover the Rogue Valley Implant Center where Doctor Clark was able to quickly and efficiently prepare for me a plan to finish my six implants. The work that Doctor Clark did for me was so impressive that I have had no regrets of having lost of my first doctor. I am one very happy client. Thank you Dr. Clark . I appreciate and your excellent staff! Paul Hill

What Dr. PK Clark did for me was nothing short of a miracle. Other Doctors said that they couldn't help my situation, due to too much bone loss. I had a consultation with Dr. Clark and he made it happen. He brought my smile back. He did a lot of work on me that was very entailed and the whole time he had compassion over my situation. At the end of it I feel like I've had a mini facelift. All I wanna do now is smile. It has made me feel like a new person. Thank you Dr. Clark and your staff for always helping me and making me feel wonderful and doing such an awesome. You brought new life into me and for me and I can't thank you enough.

Incredible experience. Not something I would normally say about having two implants at once. But Dr. Clark and his team made it entertaining and painless. I always felt well taken care of and never once dreaded coming in. Over the long process, they always remembered me and the details of my life (above and beyond!). I felt confident in Dr. Clark's technical abilities and cutting-edge technologies, and lucky to have him as my surgeon. They are funny, warm and personable! I also appreciate how everyone at the office gets along, joking and talking about each other in a sweet way. There is a sign in the bathroom that says "Whatever you are, be a good one", and they live up to that high standard. Also, I love my new teeth. At 38 years old I feel better-looking than ever. Thanks so much. Y'all are the sweetest.

Dr PK Clark and his son Dr Riley Clark are two of the most caring, compassionate Dentists I have ever met and every member of their staff are the same way! Something very cool about such a dedicated father-son team. In the past I made a conscious effort to avoid opening my mouth and exposing my missing teeth. Now I grin like the Cheshire Cat from Alice-in-Wonderland! I can't help breaking out in laughter when I see myself smile in the mirror! I'm more motivated than ever to meet new clients and expand my business. On top of all that my wife tells me I look younger! Many thanks to Doctors PK and Riley Clark and everyone at the Rogue Valley Implant Center.

I found my smile again at the Rogue Valley Implant Center, and I couldn't be more grateful! Dr. Riley and Dr. PK Clark, Shannon, Mackenzie, Cara and Amy combine to make the most incredible team. The doctor's are the best in their field, what a gift to the Rogue Valley! The ridiculously amazing staff were highly educated and a huge part of my treatment. Everything the doctor did, he would explain out loud to whoever was helping, making them better each day at their job - and, as a bonus, putting me at ease because I was also aware of what was going on at all times. I would highly recommend this group to anyone! I not only found my smile, but I found family - and that is priceless!

In a consulting session Dr. Clark laid out my options; we decided on a five-tooth bridge solution for my missing two tooth problem. The extensive preparation and fitting of a temporary bridge went well, in spite of my unease whenever I sit in a dentist chair. After a month I now enjoy my "final" bridge which fits perfect, is also very comfortable while eating and blends in well with my natural teeth. Thank you Dr. Clark for your professional skills. My appreciation also to Office Mgr. Amy Rose and to staff assistant Ms. Shannon who helped in getting me to smile again. Overall a very modern and professional office with quality staff to put this patient at ease..... Very pleased with my experience and would recommend Dr. Clark and the RV Implant Center to my family and friends.

My implant placement by Dr. Clark exceeded my expectation! After my initial consult with him, I knew I was in AMAZING hands. The trust and confidence was already created after the first consult! I did hours of research on him and could only find 5 star reviews. He developed the Whitecap Teaching Institute in Utah and mentors over 2000 dentists! He has been placing implants since the 80's! His passion for his profession and for his patients is apparent! It is rare to find a doctor who truly cares about his patients AND his staff. The office is state of the art and they use the latest digital implant procedures to maximize precision, less invasive, promotes bone integration quicker, less failure rate, increases turn around for your implant quicker, decreases chair-time, and increases comfort. I literally had no pain after my implant placement. I only took ibuprofen for 24 hours and even ran 7 miles each day after my placement with no issues. I never even had any swelling! It was easier to get my implant done by Dr. Clark then to get my teeth cleaned! It was the BEST dental experience I have every had! They went above and beyond with safety protocols for COVID and Dr. Clark has the best 4 employees in the area! Dr. Clark is a diamond in the rough and I would recommend him to everyone. You will NOT be disappointed! Lastly, he is extremely brilliant but yet has an amazing chairside manner, huge heart, truly cares, and has a wonderful personality. He is the whole package!!

If I could give Dr Clark and his staff more than 5 stars, I would! I avoided dental work as much as possible for years (thanks to experiences with military dentistry) but this team renewed my faith in the field. They were very kind, compassionate and performed amazing work. I am very thankful to have had my implants done by them. They did two implants for me that I should have done years ago. I never realized how much I had modified my eating until I was able to eat normally again. Thank you so much!

Dr. Clark and his staff are extraordinary. With each step of my implant, Dr. Clark exceeded my expectations with his level of knowledge and care. My implant is absolutely perfect and I couldn't be more impressed and grateful. We are so fortunate to have someone of Dr. Clark's expertise available to us in the Rogue Valley.
