Geoffrey R. Clive, D.D.S.

Diplomate, American Board of Endodontics

Dr. Geoffrey Clive grew up in Beaverton, OR and Wenatchee, WA. As a northwest native, he sorted cherries during the summer. He spent two years in Argentina on an ecclesiastical mission and learned Spanish. He earned his Bachelors of Science in Biology from Brigham Young University in 2011. He decided to attend dental school and earned his dental degree from the University of Maryland-Baltimore in 2015. After dental school, he practiced as a general dentist in the Baltimore suburbs for two years. He completed specialty training in endodontics at University of Missouri-Kansas City in 2019. While in training, he obtained experience in root canals, retreatments (redo root canals), root surgery, and other endodontic treatments. He participated in novel research and served as chief resident during his second year. After completing residency, he joined Dr. Boyd’s practice in Milwaukie, OR. He bought the practice in 2021.

Dr. Clive decided to specialize in endodontics when treating an undercover police officer with a very painful infection. His patient thought he’d need an extraction and was happy to hear that a root canal was possible. After the root canal, the patient was delighted to be pain-free and to keep his tooth. Dr. Clive enjoys helping his patients to heal from dental infections and enjoys furthering his knowledge and techniques to provide expert, evidence-based treatment. He understands how going to a dentist can be nerve-wracking and does his best to make patients comfortable and treating them with respect. He is certified in using nitrous oxide sedation.

Dr. Clive is married and is a father. He enjoys taking his family on hikes, traveling to visit family, and seeing new places. He likes racquetball, disc golf, eclipse chasing, and making craft chocolate.
