A small office, built around a quiet room
Chuckanut Dental is on Cornwall Avenue in Bellingham. Two dentists see adults and school-age children for general care, and one of them makes oral appliances.
We built the office for two kinds of patients: people who want a dentist who looks at the whole mouth and jaw, and people whose physician has pointed them to a dentist for snoring or sleep apnea. Both get the same plain talk. We tell you what we see, what the options are, who decides and what happens if you wait.
How the office works
Care is provided by general dentists
Sleep apnea is diagnosed by a physician, not by us
A written estimate before treatment
One sleep coordinator for referrals and follow-up
The people
Meet the team
Each dentist has a page with the license on file and what they do.
Oral appliances for patients whose physician has recommended one, and the follow-up visits that go with them.
Zaria Lampkin
Sleep coordinator
Referrals, physician letters, scheduling and estimates.
How we work
With your physician, not instead of them
We ask for the diagnosis
Before an appliance is made we need your physician's diagnosis and recommendation, in writing.
We keep them informed
Zaria sends your physician what we found and what we fitted, with your permission.
We leave medical decisions to them
Whether to repeat a sleep test, change a treatment or see a surgeon is for you and your physician.
