Dr. Charles W Clarke, DDS

Dr. Clarke did a great job, even finding a 4th root to excavate. Explained what he was doing along the way and checked to make sure I was okay. Staff was great.

While the root canal procedure was quick and painless and the staff was friendly, certain little things seemed to really annoy them. I have quite a few ear piercings and the assistant seemed a little annoyed with the time it took to take them all out for the xray. Also, during the procedure, I lifted my hand because I had an itch on my nose and the doctor decided it was a good idea to say something along the lines of "let me know the next time you go pick your nose". Overall the office was comfortable and the procedure was fine. Just seemed like maybe their "comment filter" wasnt working that day.

Today was my 2nd root canal with Dr Clarke, I have had a couple of root canals in the past and Dr Clarke is hands down the very best!! All he does are root canals and he and his staff have it down to a fine science. He takes the time to talk with and explain step by step what they will do. Both of my root canals were relativly painless and done quickly. His assistant Aimee is simply the best, she makes sure you are comfortable and at ease with what's going on, her and Dr Clarke work very well together. Eleah at the front dest also has her act together, from setting up my appointment, filling out paperwork before the proceeder, going over my bill at the end, providing advill and a bottel of water while I was still numb. She called in pain meds and antibiotics to Walgreens in Festus less than five minutes away and when I got there they had the order and working on filling it. My appointment was at 7:15am and by 9:30am I was at home resting comfortably. I will never go anywhere else for a… root canal, they are simply the best at what they do. Eric Jensen

This was hands down the easiest dental experience I have ever had. And let me say I was not looking forward to it, I had put it off. Dr. Clarke explained everything along the way and I was very comfortable knowing he really cared if I was doing ok. I felt zero pain or discomfort during and after. I was also amazed at how well Dr. Clarke and Aimee his assistant were so perfectly in sync during the procedure, It’s obvious that they have experience needed to give you the perfect root canal!

I will keep coming back! They made me feel so comfortable like I was one of them! I watched Friends, had a comfy blanket, my chair was comfortable, and I was out doing yard work that day.

Super service and took me in at a moment's notice.

I tried telling him that I have major dental anxiety and my last root canal I needed a sedative. He offered laughing gas, but I couldn’t stand the mask over my face either. My anxiety was through the roof. When I asked him to stop, he yanked the needle he was numbing me with out of my mouth and basically said that’s it, we’re done and disappeared. Not another word. Not a sorry it didn’t work out. Zero professionalism, zero compassion. And I’m out $350 for nothing!

Dr. Clarke and his staff were great. I was in pain and they fit me in the same day for a root canal and treated me with care.

Everyone in Dr. Clarke office make you comfortable and at ease from the time you walk in to the time you leave. I was so at ease the I experienced no pain and the procedure was over with before I knew it. Wonderful job guys!

When I went to my regular dentist office for a cleaning, they noticed a bump on my gum above a tooth that had a root canal in 2008. My dentist referred me to Dr. Clarke to see if he could find the problem and fix it. I was quite nervous before my appointment. Right away I started to relax after I was offered a blanket by the dental assistant. Dr. Clarke was very personable and efficient. He has high tech equipment that enables him to do a very precise examination. I was so relieved when he found the problem to be an additional root that had not been treated during my original root canal in 2008. Besides the comfort of the blanket, two things I really appreciated during the procedure was a block that helped to hold my mouth open and a barrier that was used to isolate the tooth being treated. The procedure was successful. Afterwards the dental assistant answered all my questions and even explained to me that normally a tooth has only 3 roots, which is how the 4th root was not… discovered by my dentist in 2008. I highly recommend Dr. Clarke and his staff to anyone who is in need of a root canal or has an issue with an existing root canal. I was so relieved that he was able to find the issue and repair my 12 year old root canal!
