Dr. Joshua Clarkman, DDS

Dr. Joshua Clarkman grew up in the Minnesota and Wisconsin area before earning both his undergraduate and dental degrees from the University of Minnesota. After starting his career in engineering, he found his true calling in dentistry—where science, precision, and personal connection come together.
Since moving to Bellingham, WA in 2018 with his wife Kristin and their Old English Sheepdog, Theo, Dr. Clarkman has fully embraced the Pacific Northwest lifestyle. Outside the office, you’ll find him mountain biking on Galbraith Mountain, skiing at Mount Baker, or enjoying time on the water.
Dr. Clarkman has a strong passion for implant dentistry and helping patients regain not just their smile, but full, functional teeth that allow them to live a confident and fulfilling life. Whether you’re here for a simple cleaning or a full-mouth restoration, his goal is to change the way people feel about going to the dentist.

He believes a dental visit should be a positive experience—and our office is designed to reflect that. With a calm, spa-like atmosphere and a friendly, supportive team, we aim to make every visit relaxing, comfortable, and even enjoyable.
Dr. Clarkman is a proud member of the American Dental Association and the Washington State Dental Association.

He’s passionate about mountain biking and exploring all things outdoors in the PNW. He and his sheepdog, Theo, are often spotted out on the trails.
He wants every patient to leave with a healthy smile—and maybe even looking forward to their next visit.
