Why We Exist?

We’re Redefining What It Means To Own A Dental Practice

Owning a practice should be rewarding—not exhausting. But for many dentists, the burden of overhead, staffing, and patient acquisition makes it feel out of reach.

Clear Lakes Dental changes that. Our franchise model gives associate dentists a proven system, built-in support, and steady patient flow from day one. You focus on dentistry—we handle the rest.

If you want ownership without the risk and hassle, you’re in the right place. We’ve been there, and we built a better way.

Meet CEO Dr. Park

Dr. Park didn’t plan to build a franchise. He just saw a problem.

After dental school, he and his wife were buried in debt (both are dentists). Like many dentists, they worked long hours without a clear path to financial stability. He knew there had to be a faster, smarter way than the traditional route.

So, Dr. Park took the leap and opened his own practice—and discovered something powerful: there’s a better, faster way to achieve financial freedom.

With the proven system he’s perfected, ownership is simple, profitable, and life-changing.

Now, he’s on a mission to give other dentists the same opportunity—a clear, supported path to owning a thriving practice and gaining true freedom.

Franchisee Success Stories

Hear from dental professionals who took the leap into ownership with Clear Lakes Dental Franchise—and never looked back! Their stories prove that with the right support, guidance, and proven system, success is within reach.

When I joined Clear Lakes Dental right out of school, ownership wasn’t even on my radar. I started as an associate, just focused on learning and growing. Then Dr. Park asked if I’d ever considered owning a practice. After we talked through the logistics, options, and transition process, I realized it was possible — and I became an owner just 8 months after graduating. Since then, I’ve bought my second CLD clinic. I now own two locations.

Dr. Ang

Franchise Owner

After retiring and moving to Minnesota from Ohio, I found myself missing the work. When I came across Clear Lakes Dental, I noticed they operated with the same patient-first approach I had followed for over a decade — it felt like a natural fit. With the support of the CLD franchise model, the transition from associate to owner was a small step to take — but it led to a major leap in income and allowed me to build real equity in a business again.

Dr. Latus

Franchise Owner

Ownership was always on my mind. I was actively looking for opportunities in Rochester when I came across Clear Lakes Dental on Indeed. I couldn’t explain it at first, but something about this company just felt different — it stood out. I did some research, scheduled a meeting with Dr. Park, and quickly realized this was a great opportunity for me.
