We want your time with us to be relaxing. Sample a cup of coffee, tea, or a cool glass of water as you peruse a magazine in the waiting area. Settle into our comfortable treatment chair and don a pair of headphones to listen to some of your favorite tunes. Look out upon our naturally landscaped shrubs and trees and maybe even see a deer or two.
We invest in the latest technologies such as digital impressions, digital radiographs and photography, and electric handpieces to deliver excellent dentistry and keep you comfortable while we work. Our well trained and professional dental team will make you feel at ease before, during, and after your appointment. You can rest assured that you are in good hands!

Dr. Ute Collins, DDS
Dr. Collins grew up in Anchorage, Alaska and then headed south to attend Central Washington University for her undergraduate degree and then the University of Washington School of Dentistry. She has practiced in a variety of settings over the last 24 years including the United States Air Force, a public health clinic, and then has spent the last 17 years in private practice. As a dentist, she has been involved as a Spear study club leader and as a previous president of the Mount Baker District Dental Society. Taking good care of her patients and educating them about their oral health is very important to Dr. Collins, and she enjoys attending continuing education courses to stay current in dentistry. She lives in Anacortes with her husband Charlie and two dogs, Dory and Gus. She believes in volunteering in the community: she is on the board for Skagit Regional Clinics Institutional Review Board as well as volunteers with the Anacortes Schools Foundation. Her interests outside of dentistry include hiking, cranking out miles on her Peloton, learning how to golf, and of course, cheering on the Huskies.
Dr. Lemperes, his staff, and everyone in the office exemplify the highest standards of the dental profession. He’s been our family’s dentist since he opened the practice, and we’ve consistently been treated with kindness, personal attention, and true compassion. I’ve recommended him to many friends, neighbors, and newcomers to Bellingham; invariably they’ve all come to value his services as much as I do. We’re lucky that he’s got a long and exceptional career ahead of him.
Although it’s a dentist office- the Hygienist are super caring and do a great job. The Dentist is fantastic - very thorough and gentle . Probably one of the few people that really like going to the dentist!
I have dental anxiety and everyone at Dr Lemperes office is kind and attentive. Dr Lemperes makes sure I am comfortable through all my dental work. I highly recommend Dr Lemperes.
Today was a prep for a crown and it couldn’t have gone better. Tracy was fantastic as was Aaron. I’ve been a patient for 20+ years and Lemperes Denistry has always been great. Gentle Dentistry for sure
Dr. Lemperes is the best dentist and the staff are fabulous. Two years ago they went way out of their way to help me with an urgent and painful tooth as I was heading out of town. The routine services they all provide keep me healthy. I can’t recommend them enough!
Dr. Lemperes and staff are always so patient and kind with me. I’ve always had problems getting numb and they always make sure I’m pain free. I highly recommend them!
As always, the team at Lemperes Family Dentistry are customer/patient-centric! Professional, friendly, efficient. I like how they always inform me of what they are doing and let me know costs associated with various procedures. Thank you for creating a safe and hygienic environment as well!
