The American Dental Association recommends that you visit your dentist on a regular basis (at least once every six months). Regularly visiting your dentist will ensure proper oral hygiene, functionality, and longevity of your teeth. Checkups will also help prevent the development of serious dental problems that may require costly and invasive treatment.
Dr. Clark Hunstad was born and raised in Aberdeen, SD. His interest in dentistry was sparked when he began shadowing his family dentist and experienced firsthand the overwhelmingly positive impact that quality dentistry has on individuals and the community. His curiosity eventually became a passion and he earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from University of Minnesota Twin Cities School of Dentistry.
Dr. Hunstad believes that the foundation of exceptional care is the doctor-patient relationship. He has extensive training and experience in numerous facets of General Dentistry, from orthodontics and implants to digital dentistry. He is board eligible for diplomate status and a fellow with the American Orthodontic Society a testament to his 550 hours of his specialized orthodontic training. Dr. Hunstads lifelong love of learning drives him to participate in over 200 hours of continuing education each year to stay current with the ever expanding and changing field of dentistry.
A graduate of the Air Force Academy, Dr. Hunstad served as a F-16 fighter pilot for the United States Air Force where he flew countless missions worldwide. Dr. Hunstad also excelled as a member of the USAF Wings of Blue Parachute Team. While he wasnt piloting F-16s and parachuting out of planes, Dr. Hunstad went on to earn his Masters Degree from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. After 10 years on active duty, Dr. Hunstads family moved back to the Midwest, which allowed him to attend dental school, open his own practice, and work part-time as a dentist for the South Dakota National Guard. We are grateful to Dr. Hunstad for his 27 years of military service.
Dr. Hunstad has two grown children Lauren, who recently graduated from the University of Sioux Falls with a degree in Exercise Science, and Eric, who is attending the Creighton University School of Dentistry on his way to becoming a dentist himself.

Dr. Hunstad was meticulous, everything was calm and I never felt like the operation was rushed just to get me out the door. I had a bite problem from a high spot which occurred from a prior dentist visit at a different clinic (I don't want to name names) a long while back that I guess I stopped thinking about, Im only really aware of it now because I would habitually grind and teeter my teeth on it but after getting work done It feels like my teeth nest together nicely with no high spots which leaves me really happy.

I was nervous taking my kids in to the dentist for the first time. They had a wonderful experience thanks to all the staff. They really know how to make sure your kids are comfortable and entertain them well. My kids are looking forward for their next visit.
