Our Approach

Our philosophy at Downtown Dental is simple: Health is beauty, and it’s not just cosmetic. We are dedicated to a comprehensive, functional approach to dentistry, considering both the functional and esthetic aspects of your smile and each patient’s individual goal for complete wellness.

Book a consultation

We Advocate, You Decide.

Based on our philosophy, we believe that the foundation for better dental health is based on mutual trust, respect, communication, and understanding.

We educate and inform you instead of pushing excessive or unnecessary procedures. As your dentist, we are committed to providing you with the best technology and advanced education a dental practice can offer because we believe that you deserve options. We look at every aspect of your smile and bite so we can provide the information you need to make the best decisions.

We want to be a part of your lifelong choice, not a once-in-a-blue-moon stop to fill that cavity or fix that chip we told you about two years ago. We strive to provide our patients with ideal, personalized, long-term care instead of practicing “patchwork” dentistry.

We offer consultations, thorough examinations and customized treatment plans for new and current patients. In this way, we can work with you to create and maintain healthy teeth throughout your life – so that you can enjoy good dental health, a beautiful smile, and increased self-confidence.

Our practice is specifically structured to accommodate the downtown patient. We understand how busy people are, so we pay special respect to our patients’ time and schedules while providing exceptional, affordable care, including our own House Dental Plan. Our office provides a comfortable, convenient, and efficient setting to quickly and completely treat any type of dental problem.

You’ve felt rushed or not heard and want the why, clear options, and help choosing.
It has several list items you can easily edit.
Dental visits make you anxious—you want predictable steps and gentle care.
You know your issues are connected—bite, gums, sleep, stress—but haven’t found a provider who sees the whole picture and how it applies to you.
You think your child needs help but aren’t sure when or how—you want clear next steps from a team that understands growth, airway, and habits.
You’ve delayed care because it felt confusing—you want a simple roadmap: what’s happening, what to fix first, and how we’ll keep it from coming back.
You want straight talk on cost—plain-English estimates, insurance help, and payment options before treatment
Your work keeps failing—you're done with patch-and-pray and want bite/force + habit testing to stop the cycle.
It has several list items you can easily edit.
Your night guard is “one-size-fits-none”—you want digital bite mapping and custom solutions.
You keep getting cavities or gum inflammation despite cleanings—you want us to check sleep, saliva, diet, mouth-breathing, and myofunction.
You want laser gum treatment options that reduce reliance on antibiotics.
You want less chair time over 10 years by addressing infection and forces now.
You’ve noticed wear, chips, or flat edges and want to stop the damage—not just patch it.
Your teeth are crowded/crooked and you want to reduce gum infection and cavity risk while improving your smile.
You want guidance for your child’s growth and development—support for nasal breathing and tongue posture (myofunction), plus early airway/ortho screening to set them up for healthy sleep and facial growth.
You’re considering cosmetic work and want prepless or minimal-prep veneers that protect your bite and keep tooth structure.
You want aesthetics that support health—fewer headaches, better sleep, graceful aging—with a seamless path to Dr. Clark when needed.

Your first visit

Listen — Your Story, Goals & Values

We learn what matters now (health, prevention, smile, facial structure) and how proactive you want to be (1–10), then tailor the exam and recommendations to fit today—and adapt as you do.

Health, Habits & Forces — One Integrated Check

We cover the essentials (cavities, gum health, oral-cancer check) and screen connected factors—diet & lifestyle, myofunction, airway/sleep, crowding, facial structure and smile aesthetics, and bite forces.

Show & Explain

Plain-English walkthrough of your images and measurements (photos/scans, CBCT when indicated, digital bite map). You’ll leave with total clarity on what’s happening, why, and your options—with smile & facial previews when helpful—so you can choose next steps with clarity and confidence.

Your Conservative Plan

Our way to support your decisions: prioritized, conservative steps that protect tooth structure, align to your goals, and include clear timing and costs. We emphasize what matters now and pace the rest into a smart plan over time. From personalized homecare habits to a comprehensive plan for your health and beauty.

Health and beauty go hand in hand

Every detail is planned to preserve natural tooth structure and create results that look and feel authentic.

Conservative by design

Keep more natural tooth for stronger long-term results.

Strong, Beautiful, Lasting

We plan for both, so your smile looks natural and
lasts.

Prove the plan

Digital smile previews, bite maps, and printed guides mean fewer
surprises.
