Meet Dr. Sarah Clark

Approach

Hello, I’m Dr. Sarah Clark, and I am honored to be a part of your smile journey. From the moment you step into our practice, we strive to create a warm environment where you feel like a valued member of our family. I am here to listen to your goals, address your concerns, and ensure that your orthodontic experience is as enjoyable and rewarding as possible.

During my time as a general dentist in Ramstein, Germany, I felt a deep desire to make a difference beyond the base. This led me to embark on a transformative humanitarian mission in Mali, Africa. These impactful experiences have shaped my perspective and instilled in me a profound appreciation for the transformative power of dentistry to positively impact lives.

I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the University of Iowa College of Dentistry. After serving in the US Air Force as a general dentist, I pursued advanced training through an AEGD residency and specialized in orthodontics at the University of Iowa. Furthermore, I am a board-certified orthodontist and a diplomat of the American Board of Orthodontics, dedicated to providing top-quality care.

Greetings, I’m Dr. Tanner Clark, and my approach to orthodontic care revolves around teamwork, trust, and creating a positive experience for every patient. Together, we will work towards achieving the smile you’ve always dreamed of. From your initial consultation to the final result, your satisfaction and happiness are my utmost priorities.

I hold a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the esteemed University of Iowa. With pride, I served in the United States Army, providing exceptional dental care to our brave soldiers. I further specialized in orthodontics, earning a Master’s degree (MS) and Certificate in Orthodontics. As a board-certified orthodontist, I remain dedicated to staying abreast of the latest advancements in the field.

When I’m not creating beautiful smiles, I find joy in life’s precious moments alongside my remarkable wife, Sarah. We are an active family of runners and triathletes, often seen exploring the trails and backroads of eastern Iowa. Our shared passion for fitness extends to our three lovely sons as well. Life with the Clarks is an adventure, and we welcome you to join us.
