Dr. Clark is a constant student of dentistry and enjoys learning about the newest techniques and technology in the field. He is Invisalign certified and enjoys all areas of cosmetic dentistry including crown and bridge restorations, implant dentistry, and porcelain veneers. He loves the way his patients glow after they see the beautiful results of a smile makeover. “A beautiful smile can change a person’s whole outlook,” says Dr. Clark, “and everyone deserves to smile with confidence.”

Being a member of the American Dental Association and the Dallas County Dental Society allows Dr. Clark to stay active in the dental community. Through this network of colleagues, he is able to stay abreast of the latest methods being used in dentistry as well as participate in continuing education programs, volunteer opportunities, and mission trips to other countries.

When he’s not thinking about teeth, Dr. Clark loves to play with his dog, spend time with his wife, catch a ballgame on television, and practice his favorite hobby, cooking. When his time as a dentist is over, he hopes to open a small, hole-in-the-wall restaurant where he can continue serving people in a new way.

Stephanie grew up in Binghamton, New York, and moved to Texas back in 2010 to pursue a new career in dental office management.  It was during this time that she and Dr. Clark met at a dental conference and both immediately knew that they were a match made in heaven.  They were married about three years later and have continued their shared passion for the dental field by creating LIV Dentistry in 2014.  Dr. Clark often refers to Stephanie as “the boss” as she makes our office GO.  From managing the financials to presenting treatment plans to planning our marketing, Stephanie has her hand on everything at LIV.  When not busy with work, Stephanie enjoys hitting the pool, personal fitness, and playing with her lovable dog, Reagan!
