Docherty went close again after 28 minutes but Baxter managed to keep out his attempt.
Bolton, last season's defeated play-off finalists, struggled to put any kind of dent in the hosts, who were excellent defensively.
Charlton striker Chuks Aneke headed Conor Coventry's corner over the bar in the 76th minute as the hosts pushed for a second.
And the Addicks made sure of maximum points in the 88th minute when Godden dived to head home Aneke's cross from the right of the box.
