Best 19 Dental Clinics and Dentists in Bellingham, WA new update 1

Brynna Welty I absolutely love this office! Everyone is super welcoming and there is an upbeat vibe that helps everyone feel comfortable. I definitely recommend coming here if you want the best dental work possible! Thank you Nicole for showing me around!

Diana Beech Sara the hygienist is the best I have ever had!! Her passion for sharing and teaching her knowledge of oral health care is beyond anything I have ever received from a hygienist. My teeth are so happy to have been going to Bellingham Dental Group for so many years. And yes I have dental phobia! They are so good with me about this.

Sarah Loader I have bad anxiety when it comes to the dentist but everyone here is so kind, patient, and they make sure youre comfortable and all your questions are answered! Dr. Patel and Amy were very patient, kind, and made sure I understood everything. Dr. Patel even gave me a follow up call to make sure I was doing good! I had some work done by Dr. Hong and her dental assistant Tehya and the process couldnt have gone any smoother. They understood my anxiety and made me feel very comfortable and explained every step. The receptionists here are the sweetest and I highly recommend coming here if you have dental anxiety and need a good dentist!

Glenda Lozano I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcomed and comfortable. The receptionist was friendly and quick to get me checked in, and the waiting area was clean and cozy. Dr. Chaz, the dentist, was absolutely fantastic. He took the time to answer all of my questions and gave me a clear understanding. It was evident that he genuinely cares about his patients well-being. The office itself was modern and well-equipped, which made my appointment run smoothly and efficiently. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch dental care in a comfortable and friendly environment!

Jadyn Janzen My experience with The Local Dentist was wonderful. Dr. Chaz did a thorough examination and my hygienist Morgan was so kind and gentle. The rest of the staff was so friendly and inviting!! They were transparent about all their pricing and the office was clean and bright. Would recommend to anyone!

Diane Oltman Wonderful! Excellent! I have multiple problems with my teeth and had not seen a dentist for several years. Dr Chaz and his staff gave me a thorough exam. Dr Chaz clearly explained his treatment plan and also provided information on the cost involved. The team was efficient and kind. The office was attractive and pleasant. I am so thankful Dr Chaz could see me today. I will return for followup in a few weeks, in a timely manner. Thank you. Diane Oltman, Bellingham

Justene Merriman Its always a pleasure going to my appointments. Staff are friendly and seem genuinely interested in my health and me as a person. The compliments on my teeth make me feel good too. Theyre also helpful with recommendations for my dental care, and Dr. Cargill was kind to take time to explain things well when I had questions. Laying in the chair surrounded by pleasant people makes a wonderful break during stressful times.

John Ferdon The staff is superb. I was greeted at the front desk with a "Good morning, John. Youre already checked in." A rarity these days. Hanna again was outstanding. She was personable and ensured I was comfortable. She explained the procedures and asked if I had questions. A true professional. Did a fantastic job! Dr. Cargill did a thorough check and provided a clear explanation of his findings. Another of the personable, professional personnel at Creekside Dental Care. I strongly recommend.

Tami S. Ive been going the Creekside dental for about 4 years and theyre the best. Everyone is so friendly and personable and they really care. They let me know each step, excellent communication. As far as a dental visit goes, it could not be better.

Cindy Kahler To transition to a new dentist can be unsettling.. From the moment Diamond Dental answered their phone I had their full support!* Every step from reception, the team, & my dentist was friendly, thorough, & communicative. Everyone treated me with, "I got your back" attitude with gentle confident smiles. It seemed as though all employees were genuinely happy at their jobs & to be there for each persons individual appointment, and focused on their specific needs. I didnt feel rushed, but felt they took commitment to a level of integrity that is rarely seen or experienced today* I encourage anyone to a wonderful dental experience-To see for yourself..

Donell Ramsey Phenomenal dental experience! No one likes going to the dentist but Dr. Clough and Julio make me look forward to coming back! They were both so funny and caring in their dental work. My teeth cleaning didnt hurt at all and they checked in with me multiple times during the service to make sure I was comfortable. I am so grateful the quality care and would highly recommend this place!

Kyle Anderson I have never once recieved a detailed bill. When I call they tell me they are still negotiating with insurance. They told me to pay a certain amount "just to be safe" and they would send another updated bill. Im assumed we were good to go and they 8+ months later, $523 bill shows up with again no details. Business is not trustworthy from a billing perspective. Dental crew are nice but not worth the battle.

tcmauer Had an amazing initial experience with Roots. The team is knowledgeable and took the time to explain my situation thoroughly and in a way that I could understand. At no point did I feel like a "customer" who was there to give them money, but an actual patient with my dental health as the priority. I was able to schedule a follow up visit promptly and look forward to a healthier smile and decades of ongoing quality care!

Alicia DeMaria Hands down the best dental experience Ive ever had. Everyone is so professional and patient, and they take the time to explain everything clearly. If you’re someone like me with high level dental anxiety, this is the practice for you. I just had an extraction with same day implant and I couldn’t be happier. Dr. Clarkman is very talented and I am so happy with the results! The procedure was painless and the staff is so supportive. It was a great experience considering! I highly recommend this practice!

Sienna Sigl I usually get anxious about going to the dentist, but my experience here was amazing! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, and they made me feel completely at ease. They explained everything clearly and were incredibly kind. I’m actually excited to continue my dental care with them — I can’t recommend them enough! If you’re nervous about dental visits, this is absolutely the place to go!

Jillian McDougal I used to have really pleasant experiences with unity care but recently they really haven’t been good at all. The nurses have always been wonderful, and most receptionists, that’s why I have two stars instead of one. You can barely ever get unity care on the phone no matter how early you called and a callback can take up to two days and if you miss it, oh well. Be prepared to be on hold 45 minutes to an hour if you need an issue taken care of urgently. When I’ve had issues with either medical questions for my care team or billing I feel like I get passed around over and over again just to end up back in the same place. I’ve had four different primary cares in two years here because the doctors keep leaving. As someone with complicated conditions it’s not good to be passed from doctor to doctor. You call to make an appointment and that’s when you find out they’re leaving and they’ve placed you with some new person you’ve never met. Maybe I’ve just had bad luck but I can’t imagine I’ve had the only doctors leaving this place.

MinSkatt FraStjernene Staff was vary sweet, Dentist was arrogant with pore bed side manners. Cut me off when trying to address my concerns and ask questions about future care with " did you come here for my opinion or to give me yours " vary rude and to set up appointments for anything other then a pull i would have to give up my peacehealth drs i love and switch to unity. Ill never give up good drs for a horrible one

N/A N/A Find somewhere else, this place is a nightmare. From basic scheduling, doctors not showing up for appointments (left waiting in an exam room for 45 minutes on several occasions), having to be the go between for insurance billing FOR them, and repeatedly being told we dont know who is calling you, or what theyre calling about, we have no record of it. I wanted to support their mission but all Im left feeling is that these people do not care, at all.

Lexi The best dentist I have ever been to with the most amazing staff. Jennifer is a beam of sunshine receptionist who is wonderful and Dr. Arasteh and Tara, my hygienist, are caring, warm, friendly, personable, do amazing work and are gentle! Ive had a lifetime of ortho work due to a 3rd degree underbite that needed upper and lower jaw surgery and used to dread more teeth appointments when I needed to go to the dentist. Ive been going here for 3? 4? years and always look forward to my twice a year visits. I am welcomed in with questions that follow up on things I was doing 6 months ago and have a painless, enjoyable experience (even when I had to get a cavity filled) with work that is top quality.

Howard Sharfstein I appreciate the kindness of everyone at Bayview Dental. They have coached me on dental hygiene in a most helpful way. Their practice offers excellent attention to their patients.

Ruth Baldwin My first visit was everything I hoped it would be. Everyone that I saw was friendly, kind and helpful. Dr. Arasteh was gentle, explained what he was doing during my exam and spent a lot of time giving me options for future work. I highly recommend this dental practice.

Megan Amen We’ve been going to Bellingham Pediatric Dentistry since our daughter first got teeth 4+ years) and have always been happy with our experience. I wanted to especially thank Kaiya and the hygienists who take the time to talk to my daughter and let her know exactly what they will be doing, what kind of tools they use, what they sound like etc. it really puts her at ease and can make some parts of a cleaning that may feel uncomfortable or scary much easier to get through. We don’t feel like they rush through the cleaning/appointment. The whole team seems to really care about making the experience a positive one for both the family and the child and it is greatly appreciated.

Jazzmyne Kostelnik My daughter had a lip tie & tongue tie. They did such a wonderful job releasing it for her. Very caring, kind & knowledgeable staff. The Dentist made of feel very welcomed, confident & comfortable. I definitely will continue working with this dentist for my kids.

Shelby Makayla Amazing experience. I called today about my 3 year old having major tooth pain since Sunday, waking up every 30-60 minutes in screaming pain, and Hannah (I believe her name was) was sooo nice and understanding over the phone, and got us in the same day. The front counter ladies were INCREDIBLY sweet and helped me with a lot of my questions at the beginning and end. They ended up extracting his tooth, same day, that turned out to have an abscess growing in it and was falling apart while they were taking it out. Incredible team with amazing bedside manners and patience. Dr. Kampp, Kenzi and Ilia were so helpful and kind to my son during the extraction, and Dr. Kampp even helped me out to my car with a screaming toddler and reassured me he would be fine. He asked me several times if I had any more questions, which I did, told me he would call me tomorrow and see how my son was doing. Highly recommend Bellingham Pediatric Dentistry and their amazing team!

JASON TURRELL I have been seeing Dr. Clough for over 35 years. He is friendly, knowledgeable and offers sound advice without trying to “sell” me anything. His staff is accommodating, personable and professional. To top it all off their new facilities are second to none. Top notch dental office through and through!

Tara McDonald As I left Scott Cloughs beautiful building after my first appointment, I felt such a sense of relief that I was in good hands after having not-so-good experiences with my previous dentist and hygienist. The people at the reception desk, the technicians who did my x-rays and other tests, and Dr. Cloughs invitation to "call me Scott" and his explanation of the kind of care I needed -- all contributed to feeling respected and cared for. I went through some dental trauma as a teen when I had braces, so this kind of respect and care is exactly what I needed. Thank you all.

Juan Pablo Fantastic! The Doctor, the hygienist, and the staff are all terrific. We always get thorough examinations with explanations. And they’re all knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Never a wait and we’re always greeted with a smile. I personally had some dental work done and it was actually a pleasant experience. They’re all fantastic there and highly recommended.

Celia Farr-Smith I love Northside Dental Care! Everyone there is so professional and friendly. Dr. Eric McRory is a talented dentist committed to perfection; Barb is kind and super knowledgeable, and she provides the best, most thorough cleaning Ive ever had. Tara is always so friendly when I arrive and leave. Overall, this is the best dental experience Ive ever had. I used to dread going to the dentist, but the team there makes it such a good experience. Thank you, Northside Dental Care!

Susan Yenchick My dental hygienist is always so supportive and informative. She really helps me understand good tooth care and how Im doing with my dental care. Shes very knowledgeable and happy to share her wisdom.

Theresa Murry Dr. Eric McRory is highly skilled and his calm, pleasant chairside manner, attention to detail and gentle approach makes dental appointments pleasant. His fantastic staff go above and beyond and I always feel well cared for. I moved to AK and continue to travel to WA for my dental care twice a year. Thank you Doc Eric and amazing staff for being the best at what you do!

Heidi Himmelberger If you are scared to visit the dentist, this is NOT the place for you. I can have my blood drawn all day long but the dentist is my phobia. They advertise compassionate care but it is anything but. On my last visit I was thrown out because the nitrous machine was malfunctioning or I perceived it to be. When I started to cry a bit from fear, Dr. Scott (who is quite arrogant and does not care about your well-being) came storming down the hall and immediately became combative with me, which caused me to start crying. It was at that point he refused to clean my teeth, told me I was problematic and raised his voice at me that I needed to be fully sedated to have my teeth cleaned and kicked me out of the office. It was very insulting, disrespectful and extremely unprofessional. A few weeks later I received a certified letter that I was "fired" as a patient (as if I would ever go back there.) Dentists take an oath. Dr. Scott has violated his.

J L I’m just blown away about how kind the staff, assistants and dentists were to me. I saw 2 different dentists in my time there and it was night and day compared to treatment I’ve had since moving to Bellingham. I have POTS, MCAS and Hypermobility issues along with some secondary symptoms like sjorgrens and together they are making dental work a nightmare for me. I use to have no issues until my heart rate started to be effected and the constant air hunger POTS gives you. MCAS makes me react to everything and pots and sjogrens has left me incredibly dried out and dehydrated. I have built up a fear of my symptoms flaring so it is a combo of my health issues as well as my nervous system being broken. The anxiety is uncontrollable. You could probably compare being in a dental chair to a mini tilt table test for POTS. I appreciate the patiences they had with me and never making me feel dumb. It’s sad even having to write that but so many of us have been brushed off and told we are crazy. Yesterday was the first day I realized I can no longer have regular dental procedures anymore. Thank you for being kind and making the day a little easier to process. Thank you for listening to me and hearing me. I will definitely recommend Bright Now to my husband and adult son when they are ready for their next checkups.

Joe Molitor Needed 2 teeth pulled and they got me right in. The appointment lasted 20 minutes and they got the teeth out with no pain at all. It’s been 24 hours and I have absolutely no pain. The best part is they told me that I was getting a credit because I over paid. I highly recommend bright now dental!

Gayle Mitterer So happy I found this place. These people know how to do it right. Everyone from receptionist to hygienist and dentist are all top notch. They created my crown at the facility so, although I did have to wait a bit, I didn’t have to make a second trip. Got it all done in one appointment! Highly recommend.

Carlis Wise Becky is so wonderful when she cleans my teeth, my gums are very sensitive so she’s very careful and so kind! The staff is just amazing! I highly recommend Dr Spalti he’s very informative & caring! OK, that’s all I’m gonna say

Darlene Olsen I appreciate the dentists prompt attention to my appointment. However, I remain unconvinced that the cause of my tooth sensitivity has been fully addressed. I will monitor the situation for further improvement, acknowledging that a recently placed filling (approximately 2-3 weeks ago at another facility) may still be healing. A period of observation is warranted.

Mia Matthews I just moved to Bellingham from AZ and I could not be happier with my first experience at this office! I was welcomed with a warm greeting from Nick at the front desk and was quickly whisked back by Katie for my Xrays and polishing/flossing. *The office is so clean and they use such cool technology! Katie and I were joking around the whole time. Her happiness is infectious! The whole office was filled with joy and laughter, I’ve never had so much fun at the dentist. Dr.Kalhan is super kind and made me feel just as safe and welcomed as Nick and Katie. As he was going over my Xrays he was honest about possible treatments I could choose from and wasn’t pushy at all about how I should move forward. He didn’t use fear mongering as a tactic of encouraging me into expensive unnecessary dental work. A breath of fresh air!! (Literally, lol) He was swift and thorough with his cleaning and made me feel so confident in my oral health. So grateful I found my way to this office. Thank you all!! What a special team you have created. I look forward to my next visit :) Also- I was so happy to learn this is a family owned business! Woo! Support local!

Vincent Cheval This husband and wife dentist-duo are awesome. Knowledgeable, informative, and not pushy with unnecessary treatment. As a new patient, Im lucky to have found them! I highly recommend them!

Abby VanderHaak It’s been a long time since I’ve gone to the dentist and I had a lot of anxiety going into my appointment. Nick at the front desk was so sweet and welcoming and Santos and Dr. Sardar were so kind and made me feel comfortable the entire time. It was a great experience, I would highly recommend them :)

Randy Robertson Dr. Stone and his staff were very personable and his explaining of my situation was clear and understandable for my senior brain. Dr. Stone is honest and trustworthy, i feel and i will recommend him to my friends. Debbie Turner, Randy Robertsons friend

Sean Feary Lovely staff! Easy to access location. Excellent dentistry. I’m not planning on changing Dentists anytime soon. This group is great! Highly recommended-from a critical dentistry patient.

Kerry Mushkin I can honestly say that Bellingham Smiles provided the best dental experience I’ve ever had. I’m embarrassed to admit at 64 I’m still terrified of dentists (traumatic experience as a child). When I recently learned I needed a crown and replacement of an old filling I was panicked… Needlessly. Dr. Stone and the team at Bellingham Smiles were fabulous. They were respectful. They didn’t judge or minimalism my fear. They let me take the time I needed and they proactively communicated with me throughout the process. I can honestly say it was a painless experience and for the first time in my life I didn’t have issues the next day with high spots or sensitivity. I’m still in awe and extremely thankful. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Matt Schaeffer Every staff member was approachable and empathetic. It was evident that the team was made of professionals who know their field inside and out as well. I walked away feeling good, better informed, and encouraged to take better care of my dental health. I didn’t even have to lie about how often I floss…

Maxwell Read I have been going to this dentist for my entire adult life. I moved over seas for several years and came back with intense oral pain. Several broken teeth, gingivitis, the works. The words to discribe the agony I experienced would be inappropriate for Google reviews. The professionals were able to diagnose my ailments quickly and start treatment almost immediately. They were also able to work with me when my insurance didnt clear. Two crowns and several deep cleans later, I can eat normally again, and sleep soundly. My gratitude for their work is unmeasurable. Suffice to say, I take much better care of my teeth now and they were able to easily exain to me what I needed to do at home to prevent the spread. Fun and friendly staff as well.

Eric Childs Staff are always polite and professional. Dental hygienists clean thoroughly while still making sure I am comfortable. Doctors appear very competent and knowledgable. They dont mind my questions and are happy to provide me with additional info I need to feel good about my treatment. Overall a well managed practice.

Sophie Murphy Ive never had such a positive experience at the dentist and am so lucky to have found Love Dentistry! Starting with the front desk team, Savannah and Kenna are always so friendly, helpful and approachable. I appreciate that they always remember my name whenever I go in! Anya is such a wonderful, gentle hygienist and makes the experience calm and enjoyable. Finally, Dr. Aimee is one of the most compassionate healthcare providers I have ever seen. She actually cares about my health and I truly feel like she has my best interests in mind. She takes the time to create a comfortable environment, clearly communicates treatment plans and acknowledges and addresses all concerns I may have. I wholeheartedly recommend Love Dentistry to anyone looking for compassionate care.

David Simpson Dr Aimee and everyone at Love Dentistry are AWESOME!!! She’s super kind and caring, and very gentle. The work she does is the best I’ve experienced from all my dentists over the years. The appointment reminders say, “We get to see you tomorrow at…” and they all really do make you feel like they’ve genuinely been looking forward to seeing you again! I actually really look forward to seeing Dr Aimee and the whole team for every appointment for the 10 years I’ve been a patient there. I’ve been honored to award many 5 star reviews for businesses I’ve enjoyed, but I can honestly say this is TOP of my top reviews! I give my highest recommendation to Love Dentistry and Dr Aimee and highly recommended you giving them a call!

Tricia Chapman I can’t say enough great things about this dental office—they are truly amazing and so caring! Every single time I’ve gone, they’ve been incredibly gentle and really take their time with you. You never feel rushed or like just another appointment on the schedule. I’ve never had a bad experience here, and that says a lot. If you’re looking for a place where you’ll feel comfortable, cared for, and in good hands, I highly encourage you to give them a try. You won’t regret it!

Chloe Melton I dont often leave reviews, but this dental office was great. All staff were very friendly and professional. Dr. Dorsch was nice, answered all my questions, and made sure to accommodate my sensitive teeth. My dental hygienist was wonderful. He was very kind, took lots of care to make sure I was comfortable, and lovely to talk to. Highly recommend this dental office!

Dalton Ranson The staff was all very friendly and answered all questions specifically and directly. I didn’t feel like I was having products pushed on me, they really care about your dental health and want the best outcome for their patients. I’m glad to find a dentist I will be seeing for years and that I will bring my kids too! 10/10 would recommend.

TonySheryl I’ve been going to this office for years. Dr. Dorsch is extremely personable, professional and informative. I would recommend his services to anyone! His staff is friendly and is always eager to accommodate. His hygienist is extremely thorough and is very friendly. Dorsch Family Dental is, and always has been, a great dental office!!!

Peter Herman First time seeing a dentist in the area and was recommended them through my insurance provider. Was glad that they were also pretty close to where I live. I called to set up an appointment, and was pleasantly surprised when they had an opening 3 days from the time I called! When I got there the check in process was a little confused because I had submitted all the forms online, along with my insurance information, but they didn’t seem to have any of that stuff. They found the forms, but I still had to give them the insurance information again. Not a big deal at all, since I know tech can be a challenge to deal with. My technician was named Gino and he was really wonderful to talk to and he knew his trade well. I saw Dr. Dotskiy and she did a phenomenal job, and was great at explaining things and going over my options with me at the time of the cleaning. Took a lot a time with me to make sure I was in good shape after not having a cleaning in a while. Overall great experience and I have definitely found my local dentist team!

Alli Willis If you are anxious about going to the dentist, Cordata Dental Professionals is a great choice. Every single person Ive interacted with has been SO NICE and SO welcoming. I feel like they also really go the extra mile to help patients understand insurance and pricing.

Kay Davin Excellent experience at Cordata dental the office staff was pleasant the hygienist kind and gentle and the doctor Dotski was exceptionally good. And thorough, explaining her procedures. I can’t wait to go back in six months for another cleaning.

Vern Western I needed a new dentist after recently moving to Bellingham. Gentle Dental is close to where I live, and accepts my insurance, so I went last week. They were able to schedule the initial visit within a week after I called. They were able to contact my old dentist in SoCal to have previous X-rays sent. My initial visit was for evaluation, and was quick and easy. I was scheduled for cleaning just a few days later, and that went very well, also. I have no complaints. The cleaning was thorough and painless, and everyone I came into contact with was excellent- friendly and efficient. All of my questions and concerns were answered. Gentle Dental will now be my regular dentist.

Joseph Reamer I had a great experience with my dentist! The entire team was professional, friendly, and made me feel completely at ease. The office was spotless, and they clearly prioritize patient comfort and care. My procedure was quick, and explained thoroughly every step of the way. As someone who usually doesn’t care to go to the dentist I am very pleased with this location and team.

Erol Morey Went in last week for my second visit to Gentle Dentist in Sehome. I was seen right on time for my 9:30am appointment. My hygienist was very careful and gentle with her cleaning, explaining things as she went. Dr Z came in and checked out my x rays and teeth. He had suggestions for improving my brushing technique on my upper teeth. But no cavities! Looking forward to my next 6 month checkup.
