Dr. Mitchell M. Paynter, DMD

Dental care doesn’t have to feel like a chore. Dr. Mitchell M. Paynter, DMD keeps things simple for Oak Harbor residents who need cleanings, fillings, or more involved work like crowns and root canals. The office sits at 3475 N Saratoga St, a quiet stretch where the sidewalks stay dry even when the harbor wind picks up. Preventive checkups and emergency repairs share the same calendar, so a chipped tooth or a routine exam can usually land a slot within the week.

Those who prefer to call ahead can reach the front desk at (360) 257-2301. Pediatric visits, teeth whitening, and even minor oral surgery are all part of the mix, though the schedule books up quickly when school lets out. For directions or last-minute questions, the map at this link plots the fastest route from any corner of the island. Most patients just walk in from the Safeway lot across the street.
