Why people love Roots Dental

I really have a enjoyable experience at Roots Dental, the staff is very nice and welcoming. Very knowledgeable and the hygienist Brandi did an amazing job with my cleanings and also has a great personality. I'm glad to be a patient there. Dr. Clarkman explains everything well, a very nice guy.

Such a wonderful experience ! I loved having my X-rays explained so in depth - I’ve never had that at a dentist office before. The cleaning part was one of the most gentle I’ve had as well, from Brandi.

Great experience! They were very conscious about my comfort, discussed all treatments before and kept checking in. My teeth look great and it was a stress free visit. Dr. Clarkman was very nice and thorough, easy to talk to and very responsive to questions. Facilities are immaculate with all the new wiz-bang equipment. 100% recommended!

Had a great first experience with Roots. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I have TMJ and they were able to complete my cleaning without any issues. They took care of my concerns and I'm going back for fillings shortly.

Great experience from beginning to end! Not to mention that the office SMELLED CLEAN as soon as you walk in. Each staff member as friendly as the next. The hygienist Vanessa was very gentle and thorough. Dr. Clarkman listens and puts your needs first!! Will continue to be a patient and refer everyone I know.

Most thorough cleaning of my life and the doctor was incredibly detailed and informative during my exam, which put me completely at ease.


This was a great experience! I was nervous about going in, but from the moment I walked in, the office was bright and cheery and I was greeted with warmth and friendliness from everyone on his staff. Dr. Clarkman took the time to explain everything to me that were on my X-rays and gave me explicit instructions for exercises to help me relax my jaw and my mind. I felt like he truly cared.

Everyone at Roots Dental was so nice and caring. No one made me feel ashamed about staining on my teeth or anything else. They have state-of-the-art imaging technology that was more in depth and not painful like X-rays that I've had at other dentists. Dr. Clarkman was very thorough in his explanation of all the medical details about the health of my teeth and gums, and I really liked that.

Great experience with my basic teeth cleaning. Everyone was very welcoming and pleasant to chat with. The office is nice, modern, clean and smelled nice. I could tell that their instruments, tools, X-ray machines, etc. are the newest technology and very up to date. My hygienist was one of the most thorough hygienists I've ever had.

Excellent dentist. I appreciate the thorough explanations and “show and tell” approach to care. I began Invisalign here and the process has been great. Highly recommended.

First time patient at this beautiful new facility with all new state-of-the-art equipment. I was promptly greeted by an amazing staff who already knew my name and welcomed me into their facility with open arms 🥰. I am happy I finally found a great local dentist office who treats their patients with kindness and respect. Thank you team!! 🤗❤️

They are kind compassionate people who seem to genuinely care for their patients. I have horrible anxiety and fear of going to the dentist. They made me feel comfortable and cared for.
