Our Tulsa Dental Team

Meet Dr. Plost

Dr. Clark J. Plost grew up in Tulsa and graduated from Holland Hall as the valedictorian of his class. As the youngest of four boys, Dr. Plost wanted to become a doctor like his grandfather, father, and brothers, but he still wanted to pave a different path for himself. He has always been fascinated by teeth, and the more time he spent around dentistry, the more passionate he became about pursuing a career as a dentist.

Dr. Plost went on to major in management information systems and earn his bachelor’s degree in business administration from The University of Texas at Austin. He moved back to Oklahoma upon graduating to attend the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry, where he earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree. He graduated second in his class and served as class president for all four years of dental school.

Dr. Plost stayed at the OU College of Dentistry to complete his AEGD residency and attain additional training as Chief Resident before starting his own practice. He credits working with talented and respected general dentists and specialists during his residency as the reason why he was able to expand the scope of his practice to include a wide variety of services like full-mouth rehabilitation procedures, implant surgeries, and advanced prosthodontics.

Outside of the office, Dr. Plost is a proud father of two Goldendoodles named Marge and Milton. He enjoys cooking, running, being outside, spending time with friends and family, and exploring the latest Tulsa hotspots, including bars, restaurants, breweries, parks, and art galleries. Dr. Plost loves living in Tulsa and being an active participant in his city. He truly values building strong relationships with others, and he feels there is nothing more rewarding than being able to restore the smiles and self-confidence of his patients through comprehensive dental care.

Meet Lacy Carter

Lacy Carter is our front office coordinator and insurance guru. With over 22 years of experience, Lacy joined the practice in 1998. I am incredibly grateful to have her continue on the Plost Dental team. As if she doesn’t have enough going on in the front office, Lacy is also an “expanded duties” Chairside Assistant. Lacy graduated from Owasso High School and the Dental Assisting Program at Tulsa Tech. She has attended numerous continuing education courses throughout her time in the practice, further expanding her skillset. Lacy has two terrific sons who are active in sports, FFA and horse shows. She stays very busy. Lacy has a huge heart and is a favorite amongst our patients… oh, and if you have any questions regarding the stature of a horse, she’s your gal!

Meet Lisa Vincent

Lisa Vincent works in our front office as part of our business team.  Lisa has over 20 years of experience in the dental field and we are very fortunate that she chose to join the Plost Dental team in 2020.  Lisa was born in California before moving home to Oklahoma where she graduated from Barnsdall High School.  Lisa also has her “expanded duties” dental assistant license from Tulsa Tech and is able to hop in as a chairside assistant when needed (maybe not her favorite anymore, but always a good sport!).    She and her husband, Damon, have one son.   Outside of the office, Lisa loves spending time improving her greenhouse and growing all sorts of fruits and vegetables in her garden.  All of us at the office look forward to harvesting time so that we can reap the benefits of her labor.  She also has a slight obsession with all things vintage Pyrex.  Who knew there was so much to know about Pyrex?!  Lisa is a valuable member of our Plost Dental team and we are grateful for her hard work and dedication to our dental practice.

Meet Shannon Bollinger

Shannon Bollinger is one of our talented Dental Hygienists with over 15 years of experience. She graduated from the Dental Hygiene program at Tulsa Community College in 2009. Shannon joined this team in 2013 in a part-time capacity, but we are thrilled to officially have her full-time as of November 2019. Shannon takes extreme pride in her work and is a true advocate for her patients. Shannon utilizes the most current dental hygiene practices and is an expert at educating patients on their periodontal health. Shannon has a wonderful husband, three kids (two sons, one daughter), and one adorable granddaughter. Patients and team members always appreciate Shannon’s enthusiasm and positive attitude… although she likes to keep it on the down-low, Shannon can also act as a Chairside Dental Assistant where she has bailed me out numerous times! Very grateful for all she does for our team.

Meet Gina Kach

Gina is another one of our rockstar Dental Hygienists.  Gina grew up in Dallas, Texas before going to the University of Oklahoma for her undergraduate education.  Gina went on to attend The University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry Dental Hygiene program where she graduated with the “Golden Scaler” award in 2014.  The “Golden Scaler” award is presented to the hygiene student who exemplifies the best clinical hygiene skills throughout his/her time in hygiene school (AKA TOP CLINCAL HYGIENE GRADUATE!).  Gina worked as a Dental Hygienist in Oklahoma City for 7 years prior to moving to Tulsa and joining our Plost Dental team in 2021.  Gina takes tremendous pride in her work and truly cares about helping her patients achieve their dental goals.  Gina and her husband, Connor, have a beautiful little boy named Callan.  Outside of the office, Gina is always on the go!  When you have as many friends as Gina, your social calendar fills up quickly. It’s tough being so popular!  Another fun fact about Gina is that her BFFL is also her identical twin sister!

Meet Misty Olson

Misty Olson joined the team in 1996. With more than 24 years experience as a Chairside Assistant, Misty is an invaluable part of the Plost Dental team. After graduating from Owasso High School, she attended Tulsa Community College. Misty went on to complete the Dental Assistant Program at Tulsa Community Care College. Misty has a great husband and two beautiful girls who stay busy in sports, 4-H, FFA and horse shows… not to mention her newer passion, raising and showing pigs. Misty has taught me more about pigs than I ever thought possible, converting even me into a pig show enthusiast! Misty has all the “expanded duty” certificates available as a Dental Assistant and sets me up for success every day. She takes great pride in everything she does and deeply cares about the best interest of each patient…not to mention she is the MacGyver of the office. If something breaks or needs a little “tune-up”, she’s got us covered!

Meet Angela Salmon

Angela joined the Plost Dental team in 2021 as a dental clinical assistant.  With over 15 years of experience in the dental field, Angela has worked in pediatric dentistry, oral surgery, and general dentistry.  She brings a tremendous skillset to our team.  Angela is a Tulsa native and graduated from Metro Christian High School before attending dental assisting school.  Like Misty, Angela also has her “expanded duties” dental assistant license.  She is married to her highschool sweetheart, Marshall, and together they have one son (Joseph).  Outside of the office, Angela is always up for an adventure.  She enjoys hiking, live music, dancing, cooking, and MOST importantly, baking!  We are very lucky to have an in-house baker.  You name it, and she will figure out a way to bake it!
