Our Team
Meet the people behind
your smile.
Our passionate and dedicated team brings together a diverse range of skills and expertise to deliver exceptional results.
Who We Are
Built on trust,
driven by care.
Bellingham Dental Group was founded in 2013 with a simple belief: that exceptional dental care should feel personal, not clinical. What started as a small practice has grown into a full-service dental home for thousands of families across Bellingham and the surrounding communities.
We've invested in the latest technology, including digital X-rays, 3D imaging, and same-day restorations, but our greatest investment has always been in our people. Every member of our team is chosen for their skill, their warmth, and their genuine commitment to your wellbeing.
Whether you're coming in for a routine cleaning or a complete smile transformation, you'll always be treated with the same care and respect. That's the BDG promise.
