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'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
