About Chester Creek Dental

Chester Creek Dental was founded in 1985 as Bellamy Dental Care, a full service general dentistry practice owned and operated by Kathy Bellamy, D.D.S. and Bill Bellamy, D.D.S. In 2015 we welcomed our new associate Dr. Danny Bellamy. Over the last 30 years we have built our practice on patient satisfaction. We pride ourselves on the comfort our patients feel throughout their entire dental experience.

Dr. William Bellamy

Dr. Bill has been practicing dentistry in Duluth for 35 years. He earned his undergraduate degree at UMD and his doctorate of dental surgery from the University of Minnesota. However, he was never converted to a Gopher fan and continues to love the Bulldogs. Dr. Bill loves all Minnesota sports and has a perennial optimism about them, knowing that “this year is the year.” His two passions outside dentistry are flying his floatplane and talking about someday restoring his 1938 Ford Deluxe Coupe.

Dr. Kathleen Bellamy

Dr. Kathy has been serving the Duluth community for 35 years. She attended Gustavus Adolphus College in Saint Peter, MN for undergrad and then earned her Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Minnesota. She has two married children and four young grandsons. For her, being a grandma continues to be one of life’s greatest joys. In addition to family time, Dr. Kathy loves gardening, golf and being entertained by her golden doodle Jordy.

Dr. Daniel Bellamy

Dr. Dan began practicing dentistry in May of 2015. He spent his youth in Duluth before earning a bachelor’s degree at the University of St. Thomas and his Doctorate of Dental Surgery at the University of Minnesota. He moved back to Duluth right after dental school and loves everything about it. He enjoys spending time with his wife, Gia, and their two sons. He is a sports fanatic and loves to play golf. He also loves to read — recommendations welcome!

Dr. Kari Higdem

Dr. Kari has practiced in Duluth and Winona, MN. She earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and visual arts from Columbia University and a Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry. She’s passionate about all aspects of dental care and takes pride in helping patients find relief. When not at the office, you can find her biking with her family, reading to her kids, sipping coffee, or doing crosswords with her husband, Evan.
