Empowering Dentists.
Elevating Care.
Growing Together.
At Clove Dental, our mission is simple and enduring:
to support dentists as leaders, elevate clinical excellence in every community, and create meaningful ownership opportunities for the doctors who make dentistry possible.
We believe that when dentists are empowered with strong operational systems and modern technology, they deliver their best work, and patients receive the best care.
Our Story
Clove Dental began long before the name existed. Our journey started in 1986 inside a small family practice built by my father, where dentistry was personal, ethical, and rooted in trust. What we carry today is the same spirit. A commitment to care first, grow with purpose, and keep doctors at the center of every decision.
- A single-family dental office opened in 1986
- Built on honesty, compassion, and community care
- Designed around long-term relationships with patients
- A place where quality always mattered more than scale
- Growing with a doctor-led vision and strong values
- Expanded from one family practice to 9 thriving locations
- Built support that strengthens practices, never controls them
- Created a doctor-centered model focused on clinical freedom
Our story is still unfolding, guided by the same belief we started with in 1986, care with integrity, grow with intention, and let doctors lead the way.
Leadership
Championing doctors. Building opportunity. Leading with integrity.
Great organizations don’t succeed because of systems alone, they succeed because of the people who guide them. Our leaders support dentists by advocating for clinical autonomy, building strong operational disciplines, and developing practices where teams thrive.

I have been coming to this dentist for about 18 years, and everyone is incredibly nice and caring. Always doing the most to make me feel comfortable. They are like family. 💯🖤
The doctor I saw today was very nice. I'm sorry I can't remember his name but he made me feel relaxed and he made sure I was comfortable and not hurting me because I told him I was a baby and didn’t do well with pain. Lol. Everybody in the new staff are very nice.
Friendly staff, great doctor! I would highly recommend this office to all patients.
Excellent service and experience. Amazing dentist and his staff are fantastic!
