I started going to Dr. Clary in 2013, I believe, when he fitted me for a mouthpiece for sleep apnea. He and his staff are great! He took plenty of time with me to explain what this does for me, and I had several subsequent visits to make sure the device fit properly. I was just there last week and had some minor adjustments made on the mouthpiece. He pays attention to detail to get your situation taken care of correctly. Dr. Clary is very personable, very caring, and so easy to visit with, as well as being current on the latest in dentistry. He and his staff are very professional; I would highly recommend them.

The supportive staff was friendly and professional. Dr. Clary clearly explained my dental health condition and how it can affect my overall health. I left feeling confident and fully educated on how to proceed with my care. The whole office truly cares about not only my dental health but also who I am as a person.

I love the team at Expressions Dental. They are professional and caring. I had a bad experience from a dental office when I was in high school and was afraid to go to the dentist. But then I met the Expressions dental team and I was not so scared anymore. Just had my teeth cleaned, and wow it was relaxing. Dr. Chen examined my teeth and got things set up for my next issue I have with my teeth. So, I will give them 5 Star rating!!! Thanks again, Kirsten VanSoelen

I've been going to Dr Clary for 10+ years. I started going to him, based on the praise given of him by my husband and his family who have been going to Dr Clary for 20+ years!! The entire staff is so friendly! My husband and I moved away from the Ames area almost 9 years ago, but we didn't even think twice about continuing to go to him for our dental care.
