S Clarke Woodruff, DMD

Specialties

My practice is centered around the needs of our patients and not what is the most expensive way to solve their problem. The dental agenda of the patient along with our advice drives the treatment choices. Comprehensive care and not one of going from one problem to the next is the most important feature of my practice. The big picture is co-​discovered through a thorough examination and conversation with the patient. Only after I get to know the patient and their individual needs do we recommend any treatment.

Implants

Esthetic and new smile treatments

History

Established in 1980.

There is one golden rule in my practice:

WIDIOM: Would I Do It On Me (Or my family)

No treatment is recommended unless I would be comfortable with the treatment suggestion.

In more than 30 years of clinical dentistry, I have learned that if we wish to reach this goal, we cannot cut corners. We can best serve our patients and help them be as healthy as they choose, only if we practice dentistry at the highest levels of competence and quality.
