Many people believe that they, as adults, don't need to see the dentist as often. We all know that adults don't get as many cavities as children because they take better care of their teeth. Adults are good at brushing their teeth. Most even floss regularly. Adults also have a better diet. They don't eat as much sugar and other foods that can stick to their teeth, causing damage.
We truly believe that good dental health starts early. Children need to learn the proper way to care for their teeth even at a young age. They need to brush their teeth twice daily and floss at least once daily (though they will probably need help with this). It is also important for children who are growing to see the dentist regularly.

The price I was quoted was outrageous. Almost 2 grand for one crown! I recommend checking out Love Dentistry instead. So glad I did.

I've been going to Bellingham Smiles for 3 years and find it excellent, professional, friendly and caring. They have a wonderful staff who make you feel at home and welcomed! I don't have anything but praise for my experience there!

I'm not normally in the habit of ranking my dental exams, but this was by far the best dental experience I've ever had. After a crown came out unexpectedly, they got me in on one day's notice to re-glue it, and explained every step of the process. Everyone was super friendly, and the women working in the billing department also answered all my questions and gave me extra info about my insurance. Overall I couldn't have asked for friendlier, more helpful service.

I went to Bellingham Smiles to get a second opinion after my orthodontist told me I would need jaw surgery. Dr. Kavanaugh was very thorough and took the time to answer all of my questions. Now I feel more confident going forward with the treatment I need. Thank you!

Having my braces on for 3 yrs wasn't as bad as I imagined it to be in the beginning. Dr. Kavenaugh and his staff are amazing and supportive which made for an excellent experience. As many questions and uncertainties as I had through my journey, Dr. Kavenaugh's patience to throughly explain the process and outcome put my worries at ease. I highly recommend Bellingham Smiles

I have received dental care around the world. Without a consistent doctor, results were all over the board. Then I found Bellingham Smiles. The best dentist I've ever had! Dave and his staff are always supportive and willing to help. I think the world needs more dental offices like this one. Thank you, guys!

This is the finest Dentist Office I've been to my entire life. I'm nearing forty now and going to the dentist has usually been an affair of mixed blessings for me. While always immensely grateful for dental difficulties to be worked on and repaired, I never could tell if I'd be silently weeping through the procedures and afterwards or if I'd be alright.

The staff here is phenomenal! Dr. Kavanagh is verily the best dentist I've ever had the pleasure to be assisted by, His skill is definitely head and shoulders above all others I've previously been worked on by. Coupled with His supporting staff, the very fine craft of the hygienists, and everyone's excellent attitude its been my privilege to be able to go to this office every time.

I'd wholly recommend this office and Doctor to anyone needing dental care. As well I hope and pray this office and staff continues on for as long as possible! Their the very best!

Absolutely the most excellent dental team in town! Dr. Kavanagh fixed my teeth when others just gave up on me. I have special physical circumstances (wheelchair) and he made it all work. Very accessible, communicative, and kind. Quality work and I find him very reasonably priced. His office staff goes above and beyond!

Outstanding. Great service by the admin and support staff. Dr. Kavanaugh is an excellent dentist. I have had lots and lots of dental work done over the years and have been fortunate to have excellent dentists. We just moved here about a year about and I am so glad we were recommended to him. He is great. As good as any that I have had in the past. Today was my first cleaning by the hygienist. Also excellent.

Dr. Kavanaugh and his entire staff are amazing! Absolutely love them and the care that they have for you as a patient. I would recommend Bellingham Smiles to someone looking for a caring and compassionate dentistry. I have a lot of anxiety when it comes to going to the dentist and Dr. Kavanaugh and his team acknowledged that and did every thing they could to ease my anxiety. Love this dentist and his team!

BEWARE. Very Unhappy with this Company, as they have been Horrible in resolving multiple defective product Warranty Issues. (see photos of warranty issue in 2020, and 2019) BEWARE. Same Repeated Issues, and their billing dept tried billing me for warranty repairs, when I had current warranty in writing with the company. Owner is nice, but staff is very slow to respond to specific questions, as to why and how this repeated issue will be resolved. To date I have had no response to this after aprox 2-months of waiting for warranty repair to be resolved.

Great place to go for dental work or just the regular checks. I had some teeth extracted and a really comfortable partial fitted that exceeded my expectations by a mile! Nice people who helped with the paperwork and an awesome dentist Dr Cavanagh have made the time spent there really pleasent and stress free. Best dental experience I've ever had. Thank you" SMILES!"
