Dr. Clarkman took a good 10 minutes to thoroughly explain and educate me on my own FMX, no dentist has ever done this before! Vanessa is definitely the most meticulous hygienist I’ve ever seen, she took her time and made sure I was comfortable throughout the cleaning– my teeth look great!

Fast, Effective Whitening Treatment
Say goodbye to messy at-home kits or whitening strips! We provide fast, convenient in-office whitening, created by dentists and trusted by millions around the world. Our teeth bleaching system is Opalsescence, which is works in an hour and provides dramatic results without uncomfortable LED lights. The Opalescence teeth whitening gel also contains potassium nitrate and fluoride to prevent irritation and strength your teeth.
Powerful Opalescence Whitening
Opalescence uses oxygen molecules inside the specially formulated peroxide-based whitening gel. The oxygen molecules spread throughout the tooth and react with the discolored molecules inside your enamel. This means that your entire tooth is whitening from the inside out, even if the whitening gel isn’t in contact with every part of your enamel.
Let Us Work on Your Smile
Leave your smile to the whitening experts! Sit back and relax while we work on your teeth, applying the whitening gel and taking care of your smile every step of the way. Ask for a pillow or blanket for added comfort, or enjoy a warm, scented towel as the treatment brightens your teeth over 45-60 minutes.

Highest recommendation!! Kind and best dentist I’ve ever had. The best experience I’ve ever had with the schedulers and cleaning I’ve experienced.
Karelly A.
Great experience from beginning to end! Not to mention that the office SMELLED CLEAN as soon as you walk in. Each staff member is 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.
Jason C.
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.
Adam W.
Cleaning was great, and the hygienist was very professional. I’ve been going to this dentist’s office for 15 years, and although ownership has changed, the quality has not. Outstanding!!!!
Crista M.
This is the best dentist I’ve ever had. My teeth always feel so clean when I leave, they talk through any concerns I have, and everyone is so friendly! Highly highly recommend.
Kurt S.
Dr. Clarkman is very thorough and works diligently to make sure any issues are taken care of. I’ve been impressed with him and his staff and their attention to detail. I highly recommend Roots!
Allison B.
Most thorough cleaning of my life, and the doctor was incredibly detailed and informative during my exam, which put me completely at ease.
Justin B.
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.
Kim L.
Great experience with my basic teeth cleaning. Everyone was very welcoming and pleasant to chat with. The office is nice, modern, clean, and smells 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.
Ash F.
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 is 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.
Marie S.
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 was 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.
Bobby D.
I’ve lived around the world and have used many dentists, but I’ve never had a dentist anywhere close to as impressive as Roots. The entire staff is incredible, down-to-earth, and communicates in a way anyone can understand. They empower you to own your oral health and help you better care for your teeth/gums in a non-judgmental way.
Monica M.
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Clarkman for a couple of years now, and I have had the best experience and care!!! Even one emergency that I hadn’t been prepared for, and he was able to handle it professionally and effectively 😁I can’t say enough positive things about the whole staff!!! They all were extremely considerate… Roots Rules!!
Denielle H.
They are kind, compassionate people who seem to genuinely care for their patients. I have horrible anxiety and a fear of going to the dentist. They made me feel comfortable and cared for.
Brett W.
I’m a new patient, and it was simple and easy to get started at Roots Dental. I can highly recommend them.
Neil G.
First review ever and couldn’t be for a better business. Awesome dentist and crew. Won’t be going anywhere else.
Caryn P.
I was looking for a new dentist, and Roots moved into my neighborhood. It was a FABULOUS experience! The X-rays and exam were so thorough and high-tech! Vanessa was my hygienist, and WOW! I was way overdue, and she was thorough! I love getting my teeth cleaned, but I usually have sensitivity after… not here! I cannot recommend this place more! I went back to work and told my whole team they need to book at Roots!
Wendy A.
It has taken me almost a Year to find a New Dentist. I’m not that picky, but having a great staff, a clean facility and a very amazing Hygienist. Let alone a very Knowledgeable, Professional Dentist. All in one package; does it get any better than Roots Dental? Nope! If you’re looking for a New Dentist. Look no further 🙏
Jonny E.
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’s office that treats its patients with kindness and respect. Thank you, team!! 🤗❤️
Owen S.
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!
Carol S.
Experienced and focused on their part of the mission to find the right mechanical base for stability for base adherence of dentures. Personal amenities spot on.
Kristin C.
Roots Dental is the best! I’ve gotten to know the staff well over the years; they feel like family! The entire office is clean & bright. And the tech is next level. Very impressed by the new age of density Dr. Clarkman & his staff provide. I’ve sent my parents to see Dr. Clarkman & my dad’s teeth have never looked better!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Over-the-Counter Teeth Whitening Treatments Work?
Yes, but they contain weaker bleaching gels than the kinds of options available at your dentist’s office. This is why over-the-counter and at-home whitening solutions take many uses over days or weeks to provide visible results. Buying drugstore alternatives such as whitening toothpaste, rinses, whitening strips, and kits can add up over time. A session with us in the office can provide instant results that may take weeks and multiple at-home treatments to achieve.
Is Teeth Whitening Safe?
Yes, teeth whitening is a safe procedure. Our peroxide-based bleaching treatments use specifically formulated ingredients that brighten teeth without causing irritation to your sensitive gums. Opalescence’s chemically activated works without hot, uncomfortable LED whitening lights, making for a more pleasant treatment experience.
Does Teeth Whitening Hurt?
Generally, no, teeth whitening is a very comfortable procedure. The Opalescence teeth whitening gel contains potassium nitrate and fluoride for patient comfort, preventing irritation and strengthening your enamel throughout your treatment.
