Dr. Clark has practiced dentistry in North Scottsdale since 1997. From day one, he has shaped Scottsdale Dental Excellence to be a practice where patients have access to the highest-quality dental care in a professional and welcoming environment. His approach to award-winning smiles combines dental expertise, patient-focused care, and modern technologies and procedures. His dedication to being the premier cosmetic dentist in Scottsdale is evident in how he invests himself in the smiles and even the lives of his patients. This level of care has earned Dr. Clark recognition not just at home in Scottsdale but throughout the dental community.

Dr. Clark is the consummate professional, and his education and ongoing training reflect that. His story as a dentist begins at Loma Linda University School of Dentistry in California, where he obtained his doctorate of dental surgery. In the years since, he has remained committed to his education in order to provide patients with the latest and most advanced dental technologies and procedures. In 2011, Dr. Clarks pursuit of dental excellence led him to the Spear Institute in Scottsdale, where he continues to attend seminars, take classes and serve as a mentor to other dental professionals. As of this writing, he has completed more than 2,500 hours of continuing education courses in the dental field! Dr. Clarks passion for and dedication to a lifelong education has made him a leader in cosmetic, reconstructive, implant, and sleep apnea dentistry. Above all, Dr. Clark believes that his patients deserve nothing less than the very best in dental care, and his efforts to deliver it will never waver.

Dentistry is an ever-evolving science. One way that Dr. Clark stays current with all of the new information, techniques, technologies, and wisdom is by maintaining membership in the most prestigious trade organizations: the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM), and Academy of General Dentistry (AGD). The AACD is world-renowned and the largest association for cosmetic dentists. Its membership demands not only demonstrable cosmetic skills but a true dedication to responsible and ethical patient care. The AADSM is a nonprofit organization that strives for advancement in dental sleep medicine. Dr. Clarks membership is particularly focused on using oral appliances to treat oral health-related sleep disorders, including sleep apnea, bruxism, and snoring.

The AGD is an association of North American dentists, and it is second in size to only the American Dental Association. Membership focuses on achieving excellence in patient care through ongoing education, and the AGD offers a number of esteemed awards that reflect these accomplishments. One of the most significant of these awards is Fellow in the Academy of General Dentistry. In fact, only 6 percent of all dentists in the United States have earned the FAGD designation. The process to earn this title is rigorous, and it reflects Dr. Clarks commitment to ongoing education and, more importantly, the standards of patient care to which he strives. In addition to these professional accomplishments, Dr. Clark has earned Top Dentist awards and other recognitions from outlets throughout Scottsdale and the neighboring communities many times over the past two decades.

Helping others is at the core of who Dr. Clark is as a person. He has committed himself to giving back to the communities throughout the Greater Phoenix area that have supported his success, and he often volunteers free dental services locally to those less fortunate. He also regularly donates to Smile Train, which is an international organization that helps children with cleft palates throughout the world. Its mission is to help these kids on the fringes of society become accepted and have a second chance at a normal life.

Dr. Clark recently received a special surprise. One of his patients made a significant donation in his name to Healing Hands, a grateful patient program at Loma Linda University, his alma mater. He was honored as a caregiver with a special lapel pin and received a special message of thanks and recognition of his giving spirit from the patient who had honored him. Money donated to Healing Hands supports great causes, including providing the latest equipment and research needed to advance patient care. Among the communities served is the Navajo Nation through the Monument Valley Dental Clinic, which is supported by the Loma Linda School of Dentistry.

Dr. Clarks proudest achievement is being husband to his lovely wife Robin and father to three intelligent, caring, and beautiful daughters. The time he gets to spend with them is truly special. As a group, they often explore the Southwest, visit their extended family throughout California, and travel to new places throughout North America and beyond. Dr. Clark also loves photography, hiking, skiing, fishing, and playing golf, and since his school days, he has been known to don the chef hat and deliver some spectacularly delicious meals.

Getting a CEREC same-day crown in Scottsdale will begin with Dr. Clark prepping your tooth. Such prep varies from patient to patient and can involve the removal of any damaged tissue or decay in order to allow the crown to fit over the tooth without altering your smile. With that prep complete, Dr. Clark will then use CEREC Primescanthe most sophisticated 3D intraoral scanner ever madeto create highly precise digital impressions of your mouth. Those digital images take less than a minute to acquire and enable Dr. Clark to plan your restoration accurately, which takes just several minutes.

Yes! Your restorations will be milled from some of the strongest and most durable materials available to the dental industry. Sirona, the manufacturer of CEREC, specializes in high-grade ceramics and offers a broad range of ceramic materials from which dentists can choose. These options help Dr. Clark and other dentists tailor the procedure to the individual needs of the patient.

Yes! This is among the most exciting aspects of CEREC. Dr. Clark is able to match the restoration with your natural tooth color so that it blends perfectly with the surrounding teeth. However, the natural appearance is about more than just color. Since the restoration is created using precise 3D imaging, the milling unit can expertly craft a shape and texture that delivers a seamless smile.

No! There is a skill component to the CEREC system. Dr. Clark has substantial training with using this sophisticated technology and now possesses many years of experience. He is an expert in all stages of the process, including capturing accurate digital images, designing the restorations, milling the ceramic blocks, and fitting and bonding the finished designs to your teeth.

CEREC Primescan is a digital scanner that can capture three-dimensional images of your mouth. This technology is an alternative to conventional dental impressions, which are less precise and require a dentist to use a putty that can be messy and which many patients find uncomfortable.

CEREC Primescan is a handheld device that can be operated by a single person. It is the most sophisticated intraoral scanner on the market and can process more than one million three-dimensional points per second, and it can do this up to a depth of 20 millimeters. This allows for fast and accurate mapping of the teeth, gums, and bone structure. The scanner transmits this data to specialized Primescan software developed by CEREC. The software processes the data and creates 3D models.

Dentists then use those models to assess patient health as well as design the most accurate implants, crowns, restorations, dental prosthesis, and so forth possible. It takes just a few sweeps of the wand and just mere minutes overall to create highly precise and modifiable images of your mouth.

Galileos 3D CBCT Imaging lets us give our patients the most accurate diagnoses possible while also helping us perform the safest and most accurate installation of dental implants. Galileos technology, produced by Sirona, uses Cone Beam Imaging to produce 3D images. These images allow the Dr. to more easily view exactly what is wrong with your teeth and bones and even let you see how we can correct these issues during your procedure. Using our software, you can see your treatment performed virtually so that you know specifically what we will be doing.

Galileos also helps Dr. Clark during the procedure by providing customized guides to ensure the most precise placement of your implant. Your treatment will go faster with this technology and will provide you with the best possible results. Galileos Imaging provides far better diagnoses and treatments than could ever have been achieved with traditional 2D X-rays. All of these factors help contribute to a beautiful new smile that you will enjoy!

SICAT Virtual Treatment Guides are used along with our Galileos 3D imaging during implant surgeries to provide you with the most accurate and ideal placement possible. SICAT is particularly vital for implant surgeries done in areas with substantial bone loss or with few other teeth present to guide placement. Rather than having to place the implant freehand, Dr. Clark uses SICAT Guides to provide real-time information about oral needs.

This software lets Dr. Clark evaluate and determine precise implant location and bite alignment during the procedure to ensure that the finished placement is perfect and that teeth are not damaged when you are biting or chewing. Using advanced 3D imaging, your dentist gets all the information necessary to provide the most accurate and least invasive surgical procedures possible. You will benefit from a fast recovery after implant surgery and from a perfectly placed tooth that lets you bite, chew, and smile with ease.

Our other cutting-edge technology from SICAT is SICAT Air, which also uses 3D imaging to provide the most accurate diagnosis for sleep apnea. Using this screening technology, we can fully analyze your upper airways to determine if you have any signs of sleep apnea. If the screening is positive, we will refer you to a sleep physician to corroborate the diagnosis and prescribe the most effective treatment option. Many patients have been given CPAP, which is a device that provides continuous positive airway pressure while you sleep. However, if you are among the 60 percent of sleep apnea sufferers who have this device but do not use it regularly, a viable alternative would be a custom-fit oral appliance. Such a device fits your mouth and keeps your lower jaw open slightly while sleeping, thereby preventing the obstruction of the upper airways. For this, we use our CEREC technology or our 3M TruDef Scanner to create digital impressions.
