I have been extremely happy with Bling Dental after transferring to their practice last summer. My cosmetic dentistry needs were becoming a little involved so I had a consult at Bling and have been going there ever since. Dr. Amanda and Sam are very kind, personable, and professional. They are very skilled with cleaning, local anesthetics, and did an amazing job with my cosmetic dental work. I have also found rescheduling, and scheduling in general, to be much easier with this practice than others I've gone to. I have not gotten other treatments done there, so this review is just for dental services. Overall, a very comfortable and professional dental experience. read more

I was a patient here for a few years, and feel it was generally not worth the money. The office is beautiful and they have state-of-the-art equipment which made a few procedures easier. I choose a dentist based on quality, not a swanky office so I stopped going here. Bonding on a chipped tooth was obviously uneven, and in another instance it was fragile so shared off within a few months... I went elsewhere to have it done correctly. The two crowns they did at Bling had different problems after about three years: One crown cracked in half and the other fell off. There was decay under the crown that fell off. My overall impression is that the dentists are pushed, rushed, and overworked... that's my impression, I don't know that for certain. What really stings is the atmosphere. A few of the women in the office act condescending. At times I felt like I was an inconvenience rather than a valued patient, right up until it was time to upsell... and they loved to upsell. Every cleaning felt like a sales pitch for expensive extras, making it seem that the focus is on the bottom line rather than my well-being. I understand wanting to maximize profits but you have to draw a line somewhere . I would rather have a dentist that makes me feel valued and acts enthusiastic about their career than they are about making as much money as possible. read more

These guys were amazing. I do not like going to dentists and I'm now paying for it. I have bad anxiety going and these guys were so kind and made me feel calm. Explained all the processes to me and we developed a treatment plan that is comfortable for me. The hygienist and the dentist were just amazing. I highly recommend them. Great experience from the time I walked in until I walked out. read more

Bling Dental - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Bling Dental is amazing! I'm consistently impressed with their service and care. I've always hated going to the dentist--it gives me major anxiety--but every time I have an appointment here, I leave wondering why I was ever worried in the first place. Bling is hands down the best dentist in Portland--and I can confidently say that after trying two others over the past eight years. Melissa is the best dental hygienist I've ever had: gentle, efficient, and so kind. The office itself is beautiful and calming, with TVs mounted on the ceiling so you can watch your favorite show during your cleaning. I watched Modern Family today, and Melissa didn't even mind when I laughed mid-cleaning! The front desk staff is equally wonderful--friendly, quick to answer the phone, and always helpful. I love that I can also text them, which came in handy when I needed to update my insurance recently--they responded right away. Their multiple appointment reminders (including same-day) are another big plus. If you're looking for a dentist in the Portland area, look no further--Bling Dental is the one! read more

Almost 12 YEARS AGO, Dr Katie told me that I needed a $1200 crown in a tooth that I wasn't having any issue with except that it had a good sized filling in it. Present day, I still have that tooth and the 8-9 other dentists I've seen since have NEVER recommended any crowns. I remember it vividly because tears came to me eyes when she told me I needed a crown..that's pretty much like loosing your tooth! She was so dismissive and couldn't understand why I would be upset. Not to mention they cost! Get a second opinion!! read more

A bittersweet review - Bitter - because I'll transfer to a new dentist office 2024, that takes Delta Dental MA PPO insurance. I'll miss Bling! Sweet - I"ll miss a passionate, caring and expert dentist Dr. Becca who precislely drilled and filled my cavities and engineered crown fittings. Excellent Doc! Sweet - periodontal dental cleanings with Kristin - caring, friendly, professional and exceptional! Miss you too! Sweet - responsive office scheduling appointments, managing accounts, researcoing insurance (shout out Olivia) and greeting patients. Oh well! I have more fillings and cleanings to go - KA-CHING KA-CHING - and will go to another local dentist that takes Delta Dental MA PPO insurance (a great plan). Thanks for all the fillings and cleanings! KA-Bling! KA-CHING! read more

Melissa is my hygienist. LOVE her. Love this office. Seriously!!!! They do everything the right way. I can't imagine anyone not having a good experience. read more

I am a weirdo and I love going to the dentist, so I never miss my biannual cleanings. I started going to Bling Dental about 2 years ago and I've never had a dental hygienist like Kate! She thoughtfully explains what she is doing, why, and what I should be doing at home. She also helps me to navigate budgeting my annual insurance funds. Since seeing Kate, I've had the best cleaning results - I visited Kate today and she said my gums are pink and glowing! Thank you Kate & Bling Dental! read more

Bling is the best of the best. Every single doctor, hygienist, and assistant has been warm and pleasant. Front office is very kind and helpful. I love watching a show while I get my teeth cleaned. Who knew a dental visit could be so relaxing? read more

I have been going to Bling Dental for years. This office always takes good care of me. Dr. Ball and her staff are very professional and on top of everything, to the smallest detail. Just recently, I had a dental emergency and they were able to help me in an hour notice. I will be forever appreciative! Thank you, Dr. Ball, Kelsey, Gina and the rest of the team. You rock!! read more

Dishonest practice. Be very careful what information you provide to them and always seek second opinion after this bunch. PS:have to add to my initial review since responses are turned off: Unfortunately I was in your office on the 13th avenue past Tuesday and your response suggesting I confused you with other provider and lying about me having appointment scheduled in your office only proves how dishonest you are and your business. read more

I love Bling Dental. Wonderful care team -- both the hygienists and doctors. I love coming here. You feel very comfortable-- there are TVs on the ceiling you can watch while they work on your teeth. I've only been for routine cleanings, so I can't speak about other procedures but they've been informational, friendly and quick. They have also do a great job about making the place feel welcoming and cute and less sterile/hospital-y. My recent visit was in December and they had holiday decorations and the staff wore holiday sweaters! Will absolutely keep coming here for future dental care. read more

Like too many others, I have pretty severe anxiety at the dentist. Bad experiences with poor pain management and bedside manner as a child and teenager traumatized me. So I often go too long between visits. But this week a broken tooth forced me to come in and Bling went out of their way to help me. They squeezed me in on short notice and took care of it in a single visit (while another place said it would take 10 days to two weeks). No one talked down to me or shamed me (a first). They took my anxiety seriously and before I knew it I was on a gentle anxiolytic, under a cozy blanket, watching Blue Planet while they worked on my tooth. I have never had such a pleasant experience at the dentist. I'm actually looking forward to my next visits because I know I'll get the dental work I need to get done without the pain and trauma. Other dental teams should take note: This is how you heal dental trauma/anxiety and help people take better care of their teeth. I can't thank the team at Bling enough for their care. read more

Just book it, girl. Highly recommend. I watched New Girl and was just chilling the entire time. They're so nurturing, kind, sweet, and attentive. Ashley and Lara are great! read more

See all

First off let me say I have extremely severe dental anxiety and after 3 very traumatic dental experiences I was wary of trying again. Dr Lara and other staff made me feel extremely comfortable the entire time. I cannot recommend Bling Dental enough, they're truly fantastic! I highly, HIGHLY, recommend Bling dental to anyone whether you have dental anxiety or not. read more

I wanted gum veneers and they came through. It is something you can get internationally but not in the USA. Dr Katie found a lab that can make these. I saw prosthodontists that didn't know how to do it. I know I will feel more confident with my smile! Everyone at the office was nice and so helpful. My dental assistant took her time, removed stains and gave me complimentary teeth whitening. Loved them. Know that parking can be a challenge but doable. read more

Great service and a lovely staff. Very comfortable with the office and my crown fits great.

I just love Bling! First off, everyone there is so kind and patient! They are also highly skilled and professional. The technology they use is top notch and I always leave with a solid understanding of how to best care for my dental amd oral health going forward. I am so grateful to have Bling in my life! read more

Bling Dental - The lobby. Welcome to Bling! - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Had a great first visit at Bling! Excellent process- very quick to get me in to my morning appointment. The whole staff was excellent and so friendly. Definitely excited to have found a long-term dentist in Portland. read more

Had a really great experience with Sarah and Dr Amanda as a new patient today. I felt that everything was explained very thoroughly to me. I am looking forward to continuing to go in, which I never thought I'd say about a dentist! Also the parking wasn't too bad, it is street parking but was able to find a spot easily. There is also a Safeway across the street that has a garage as well! read more

Strap in, it's a long one.* (*This review is now being transferred to all of Bling Dental's social platforms, as they paid/manipulated my review in order to remove it from Google.) I went to bling dental after seeing they had great reviews, but I grew increasingly uncertain with each visit. By the time I went back for my third adjustment for the new fillings they'd put in (at this point, I've had about EIGHT appointments with them in one month!), I was convinced that I wanted to send my records to another dentist; at that point, I just wanted to ensure my bite and tooth sensitivity concerns (which were more than normal post-dental pain) would be addressed by the staff at Bling that day (as I was headed on vacation the next). So- just when I was going to finish this round of services with Bling (without leaving a review), my very last visit there validated that it's worth sharing about my experience. I want to preface by saying the majority of the staff I encountered seemed professional and nice. But you know what they say about one bad apple...unfortunately, the receptionist I encountered at my final appointment (happy to share details of this staff member should anyone take this review seriously) was purposefully cold and barely acknowledged me from beginning to end. It's funny when staff (or people in general) think they can get away with something because they believe no one else will notice, or say anything. I'm not that person. She didn't even look up when she greeted me, making me feel as though she was perturbed to have to squeeze me in again? I guess she didn't care to think about how I, the patient, might feel for having to come back for MULTIPLE adjustments (and still came in with a smile under my mask)....after several other appointments that I've already had to schedule around work (thank God I have an understanding job). When she told them I was there, I faintly heard them say back it would be some amount of minutes (I couldn't make it out exactly, as my headphones were on and I was seated on the farthest wall from her). Thinking she would let me know (because other receptionists have done this anytime the appointment was running behind), I was alerted and disappointed when she didn't even bother to look up (yet again) or relay the message. Funny enough, another patient was on his way out a few minutes later, to which she happily wished him a good day and thanked him for coming in. Hmmm. I decided to confirm my suspicions when I left, by making sure to say thank you to this particular receptionist directly. On my way out, I asked about the whitening kit that they'd called to say was ready - yet again, she did not look up at me but luckily, the dental assistant who'd just worked with me sprung over to the cabinet to retrieve it. The receptionist begrudgingly stated to her "I'll let them know she picked it up," to which I told her "thank you," clearly looking at her while standing near the front desk. She did not look up or respond. I then thanked the dental assistant, who said you're welcome, very genuinely. So clearly, I was being heard (as in my voice was loud enough), I just was not being acknowledged, at least by said receptionist (verify this account with your own staff, as the dental assistant was right there when the receptionist ignored me saying thank you). I wonder why the receptionist felt it acceptable to treat me that way...I have further thoughts on that, which I won't get into here. And which really isn't my burden as a patient and paying customer who trusted this establishment with my teeth, and my time (lots of it in just a few weeks!). There's nothing in me that wants to spend any more of it (or my money) there. The dentist can already be a begrudging experience as it is, and I wasn't one of those people who even dreaded going to them, before Bling; but their front desk staff made sure I felt that way about their office when it was all said and done. Update: just wanted to note that three weeks post-filling I am STILL dealing with sensitivity from where they "bruised" my tooth and have only been eating "soft" food for weeks, including my recent vacation. Don't go here! read more

I for one had a great experience at Bling. Everybody from the start (insurance /appointment person) was very friendly and warm. My dental hygienist was so thorough and made me feel at ease in a way a dental hygienist never has. Even though at my age I've been to the dentist 100's of time in my life, I very rarely understand what the eff they're doing...poking around, doing gum testing, etc. It also is very comfortable with a TV overhead playing drone footage of cities, forest, the ocean. It was a good distraction. For the first appointment, they take intra-oral photos, about 15 xrays of the mouth, and they do a smile photo so the doctor can get the best visual of the quality of your teeth. Overall the appointment was about 2 hours, but I was warned ahead of time. Cleanings tend to be 30 mins-1 hr after your initial appt. Based on some of the reviews and the corporate vibe of Bling, I felt like they would pressure me into getting stuff I didn't need, but they were the opposite. For how busy they are, there wasn't any point that the dentist (I think her name was Dr. Becca) made me feel rushed in any shape or form. I scheduled my 6-month cleaning so I'll definitely be back. Oh, and custom whitening trays are included and they give you whitening stuff each time you go! When they offered it to me I was like eeeeeh...no thanks I don't wanna pay for it, then they told me it's complimentary. Awesome! read more

Go Bling or go home! This place knows how to take care of its patients! Hard working team that provides top notch care. Don't sell yourself short and come here if you're serious about the best treatment. read more

Jordan is the best. Provided superb service and had an amazing personality that fits perfect for her occupation. Because of her, it made my visit hands down easy, painless and actually more than pleasant. Thank you Jordan! Knowledgeable, welcoming, and funny as hell to boot. read more

Front desk person was very helpful. But the dentist was very young, new yet condescening as if older and seasoned. She did not keep promises made to me and I was not happy with the sanitary conditions for example the tablet they wanted me to finger-sign was covered in filth as if it had been oversprayed all day and then touched by a bunch of other patients. read more

First visit they insisted on more x-rays that were sent to them from my previous dentist but did not meet their quality required (added cost) then they up-sold on a deep cleaning stating that I had beginning of periodontal disease. Added some other services all outside of my insurance plan standard coverage. I have had routine care consistently every 3 to 6 months for the past 35 years and was never told that I had periodontal disease. On my follow-up appointment when I asked to do routine care they refused and said that I should find a different dentist. I will never go back and will look for another dentist and will never recommend Bling to anyone that I interact with. read more

Bling Dental, treatment providers and staff have been my dental health providers for years! I continue to receive the best care and so it's no surprise I trust both Jordan and Dr. Katie. If you are looking for a positive experience and great dental health, check them out. Thank you to everyone there who helped makes my recent visit quick and successful. read more

I have been going to Bling Dental ever since I moved to Portland at the end of 2018 and can't see myself going anywhere else. They are doing dentistry right! The offices are located conveniently in the Pearl, parking is easy to find most times of the day, the offices are extremely aesthetically pleasing compared to most traditional dentist offices - including newest tech (bye bye heavy and bulky x-ray photo machines)! I love my hygienist (shoutout to Jordan) and Dr. Jacqueline, who are both super friendly, accommodating and patient with me. While most dentists would likely either turn me down or refuse to help with my unique requests and situations, Dr. Jacqueline sculpted my canines back for me and was also willing to take the time out of her busy day to adjust my old night guard for me. I truly appreciate everyone at Bling Dental, I highly recommend them to both newcomers and long-standing residents alike! read more

Bling Dental is the only dentist I'll go to. Their office is bright and clean, and you always get your own room which is a huge bonus. The rooms have TV's, which makes for a nice distraction if being at the dentist makes you a little nervous. The team is professional and I always feel taken care of. Whenever a friend tells me about needing a new dentist, I can't recommend Bling enough. During COVID they have added additional safety precautions, like taking your temperature. A hygienist comes to the door to meet you outside, and takes you directly to your room. They definitely have a process that made me feel safe! read more

Mediocre service, terrible admin. The hygienists are good but the front office is awful. Can't schedule properly and they bug the heck out of you. There are better options in the area. read more

Very pleased with my experiences here! The hygienists are clearly very knowledgeable, and very friendly. I really appreciate that they give me their professional opinions without the sales pitch. Payments have been manageable with insurance. They explain things in a way that I understand, and the pre-visit communication is stellar with cost estimates. Nice work, Bling read more

Heaven sent dental office! Just got home less than hour ago but blown away by how patient, kind and understanding the team and staff are at Bling. Maddie is so sweet & awesome! Having not been to the dentist since prior to the pandemic, Bling was thorough and thoughtful each step of the way. Thank y'all again for everything! read more

I had an absolutely amazing experience here this morning (surprising for a dentist visit). The front staff was polite, I got in to my appointment right away, and was able to fill out my first time appointment paperwork on my phone prior to my appointment. The space is very clean and I got to enjoy watching tv with Bluetooth headphones while getting my cleaning! Kristin (or Kristi) was so kind and a great communicator. Prices seem reasonable and are very straight forward. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

I chipped my tooth on Sunday and had an important meeting on Tuesday. Dr. Bre went above and beyond to squeeze me in on Monday morning and make sure I didn't have a snaggletooth when I met the CEO. She didn't rush anything and was amazing as always. I know must have added stress to her day, even if there was never a hint of it. These guys are friendly, professional, and great at what they do. The staff at Bling are all amazing, from reception to hygienists to the dentists themselves. 10/10, Would dentist here again. read more

I've never written a glowing recommendation for a dental office before, but I feel Bling deserves all the praise. I have a phobia of the dentist and terrible anxiety in general. The hygienists and Dr. Amanda go above and beyond to consistently check in and make me feel comfortable throughout my appointments. It's a very understanding, non-judgmental environment--and, importantly, it's the best dental work I've had. Dr. Amanda was able to fix a chip in my front tooth that no other dentist I saw previously would touch, and Bling uses all the latest tools/technology. Plus, I get to watch The Office during my visits! read more

Bling is the best! Great atmosphere, all the latest bells and whistles of modern dentistry, great communication from start to end, very considerate and concerned with your comfort. read more

You hate the dentist right? You cringe when you hear that drill. Your stomach leaps when the hygienist scrapes that concrete stuff off your teeth (and you wonder, when did I eat concrete?). You know who you are - and this review is for YOU: First, all the staff is friendly, personable, and will get to know you (and they remember you too). Next, you sit in the [dreaded] chair, look up, and there's a movie playing on an HD TV on the ceiling. Who thought of THAT? Massage chair - oh heck yeah. Then, you're treated like, well, like YOU matter. Oh, and that sand you end up eating for about a week after a cleaning...not there. I had to get a sealant replaced on a tooth. No anesthesia, he uses "air". I'm thinking, my hair will likely fly right off my scalp from pain, but no. 30 seconds after he started, he was done. I was like, "um, when do we start?" No, we're done. Easy peasy. Then there's the Icing whitening... if you've ever tried to whiten your teeth, and end up with tooth sensitivity akin to a hot poker in your eye - this is the whitening for you. Follow the directions = NO sensitivity. YEE HAA! Every time I go in to Bling, I'm greeted with a smile. They remember me. They thank me for referring them clients (and they remember which clients I referred). I love the dentist now!!!...and you will too. read more

My experience with Bling Dental is as an online customer. The physical office of Dr. Raymond Frye, DMD, is located in Portland, Oregon. In October of this year (2011) he offered an unbeatable deal for an ultrasonic toothbrush on Living Social. That deal got me a rechargeable toothbrush with 3 brushes, and the recharging station with UV chamber that sterilizes my brush(es) each time. I am sorry to see that his online site prices have gone so much higher than what I paid. I have been using it for about 3 months now. So, what do I like? Everything. The unit itself is very attractive. The toothbrush portion is easily removable/exchangeable and mounts on a rechargeable handle that fits nicely in my hand. The brush itself is small. This enables me to more easily reach to the back where I have typically had more difficulty cleaning my teeth. I am looking forward to my next dental cleaning to see if my hygienist notices any difference. I have noticed a significant difference in the feel of my teeth. When I glide over them with my tongue, I no longer feel the build up on my teeth. They feel as clean as when my dental hygienist does her cleaning. I am also noticing a gradual whitening taking place. I know the good doctor also offers a whitening product, however I have not tried it. I like the idea of the UV chamber for sanitizing the brush after each brushing. No doubt, with all the bacteria typically in the mouth, I would probably get grossed out to see the petri dish results. There is room in the UV chamber for a total of 4 brushes, which I am assuming means a whole family of 4 can share the same unit. I wouldn't.. The toothbrush has three different settings, but I usually use the high setting. There is also a gentler frequency and one that pulses that I am assuming is for gums. It is also quieter than my old toothbrush. I also appreciate the little pause at the end of each 30 second interval, to let you know to move on to another surface. While some of these features are like my old toothbrush, a Phillips Ultrasonic, which has been a dependable workhorse for many years, I do notice a significant difference in the overall feel of my teeth since switching over. Bottom line - I am extremely happy with my new toothbrush! You can go to his website, blingdentalproducts.com , to see his products. I would highly recommend the toothbrush. I just don't know how I feel about paying full price which now is posted as $219. That was some mark up from my LS deal price of $69. Tightwad that I am, I would most likely sign up for the different discount sites that are listed on his website under "Redeem Here", and patiently wait in hopes he would offer another "deal". But, I also know that the longer you wait, you are missing out on the benefits of this product. read more

Been in 3 times since moving to Portland and everyone there is great. State of the art facility and amazing staff!! Maddy really did a great job in my last cleaning and I will be going back to see her for sure!! I usually hate the dentist but not anymore! Thanks Bling for a great experience read more

I've been coming to Bling for a few years and always have a good experience! The office is clean and they're taking precautions with COVID. It's very easy to communicate with them. I've had a few hygienists and all have done a great job. They're quick and efficient. I love that I can watch a show during my cleanings! read more
