Kristina N.


Dr Leighton is very friendly and thorough. He makes sure all my questions are answered and also spent time explaining how a recent diagnosis will affect my dental health. I used to have a lot of dental anxiety, but since I’ve started seeing Dr Leighton I actually look forward to going to the dentist

Cammie O.


Going to Drs. Clark and Leighton office is a serene experience from start to finish. The front desk staff is welcoming and efficient and I never had to wait more than 5 minutes in the 10+ years I’ve been going. Dr Leighton is easy going and easy to talk to. The hygienists are super nice. The billing staff/managers are personable and give you all the info up front about costs for fillings etc. – so no surprises.

Dr.Leighton is very knowledgeable and explains things in a way I can easily understand. He presents options and allows me to take part in the decisions about treatment. Everyone in the office is very helpful and caring. I have complete confidence that I am receiving the best possible care.

I am always greeted with a smile and a caring attitude. Everyone is completely professional while being considerate of my questions and needs. Work done is gentle as possible and most satisfactory. I love going to my hygienist. She has my complete trust and appreciation for her services.

Laura K.


I’ve been coming to Clark & Leighton for at least five years now. I even drive about 45 minutes to get to my appointments. My hygienist is really great – my teeth look great and feel great when she’s done. Dr. Leighton is personable, and doesn’t waste your time recommending expensive procedures that you don’t need. Try them – you’ll be really glad you did.
