Dr. Charles Vittitow

The strip-mall dental office on Rimland Drive keeps things direct. Dr. Charles Vittitow and his team serve the Bellingham corner of Whatcom County from a single-tenant suite tucked between a bookstore and a drugstore. Whether it’s a routine cleaning or a tricky root canal, they handle the basics without fanfare and bill major work cleanly. The practice opened in the early 2000s, giving the neighborhood a steady place for check-ups and crowns alike.

Walk in off the sidewalk at 2219 Rimland Dr #110 and you’re inside a modern operatory designed for efficiency rather than frills. Crowns, implants, and night guards roll off the same chair; cosmetic options like veneers sit in the same menu. X-ray gear hums quietly in the back, and the front desk keeps forms ready for insurance filings. If you need a new dentist or someone to pick up where your last office left off, the place fits the bill.

For an appointment or a quick question, a single call lands you a slot. Dial (360) 543-8488 and the scheduler answers without routing menus—just tell them what day and why, and you’re set. No referral needed for most procedures; they file the paperwork themselves whenever possible. Patients come from south Bellingham and even Lynden when their regular spot is booked.

Find the door midway down the south side of the building complex—park in front or loop around to the back row. Pull up the map ahead of time to save seconds: directions here. The office is close enough for a rain-shielded dash from the lot.
