About Bling Dental

Bling Dental operates on Northwest 13th Avenue in the Northwest Portland area of Portland, Oregon. Clear aligners straighten teeth through a series of custom, removable trays, each worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence. They suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing well, and are worn roughly twenty to twenty-two hours a day for treatment to stay on schedule.

Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.

Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.

Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not. You can reach Bling Dental through this page to ask a question, check current availability, or request an appointment.

Based on Northwest 13th Avenue in the Northwest Portland area of Portland, Oregon, Bling Dental provides invisalign alongside routine dental care. The practice is open Monday through Friday. Contact details and a full list of services are on this page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Bling Dental located in Portland?
Bling Dental is on Northwest 13th Avenue in the Northwest Portland area of Portland, Oregon (97209).
What days is Bling Dental open?
Bling Dental is open Monday through Friday. Contact the practice through this page to confirm current appointment times before travelling.
What services does Bling Dental offer?
Listed services at Bling Dental include Invisalign. The full list is shown on this page.
Do clear aligners hurt?
There is usually pressure and mild tenderness for a day or two each time you move to a new aligner in the series. That sensation is the teeth moving, and it typically eases as you get through each stage.
Can clear aligners fix any orthodontic problem?
They handle mild to moderate crowding and spacing well. Complex bite corrections and large tooth movements are still often better suited to fixed braces, which is something an assessment will clarify.
What causes bad breath and can a dentist help?
Persistent bad breath most often comes from bacteria on the tongue and around the gumline, and gum disease is a frequent underlying cause. Because it is usually oral in origin, a dental examination is a sensible first step.

Dr. Sahar and Bling staff were super informative and quick to help diagnose and provide next steps for a tooth issue.

I had an emergency on a Sunday. They got me by 8AM on Monday. They helped me due to how my insurance works. Excellent work, again. Excellent help and professionalism, again. I recommend highly. I even mentioned them on my podcast, Badass Women of America, because they all are just that, and they were kind to me to boot. All of them ACES. XOXOXOXO

Around noon I broke a veneer, which an out of country dentist had done. I walked into 2 dentists, was told they could not help. Understand, this was my front tooth, my teeth looked like a Halloween custom, or at the very least that I was from Arkansas (I can say that, because I am) not a good look. I found Bling online, called/explained, they saw me a few hours later, within an hour they had me fixed up, so I no longer looked like I had just stepped out of the Appalachian mountains. These ladies were very professional, but upbeat, positive, AND understanding and best of all, they both had a sense of humor. I strongly recommend using these folks A++++++!

I've been a patient at Bling Dental for two years now, and I can honestly say it's the best dental experience I've ever had. Dr. Katie Ball and her entire team are the perfect blend of warm, welcoming, and genuinely professional — you feel it the moment you walk through the door. What sets Bling Dental apart is their commitment to cutting-edge technology. The equipment is impressively advanced, and I always leave feeling confident that I'm receiving the most current, state-of-the-art care available. I love that I can actually kick back and catch up on one of my favorite shows (the Great British Bake Off) while my dental work is being done! Every single staff member I've interacted with has demonstrated a high level of expertise, and they all go out of their way to make you feel at ease. After my very first visit, they even sent me home with a custom teeth whitening kit — what a thoughtful and generous welcome gift! If you're looking for a dental practice that combines advanced care, a skilled team, and a genuinely enjoyable experience, look no further. I highly recommend Bling Dental to anyone and everyone!

Bling Dental has been my go-to dental clinic for years. The friendly and inviting atmosphere makes me feel comfortable and at ease. Recently, I chipped my crown, and they promptly replaced it the very next day. Highly recommended!

We just moved to The Pearl District and hoped to find a new dentist near home. The existing reviews for Bling looked great and it’s SO CLOSE to us, so I made appointments for myself and my wife online. They followed up immediately, send over all the pre-appointment questions via text so we could fill everything in on our phones and were able to fit us in earlier than originally booked. This process started less than 1 week ago! Unreal how fast we got in. Then, we both went to our appointments and found that all the information we provided before we arrived was enough and there were not more forms to fill out. How refreshing in 2026 for the process to work like it should. Both our appointments began on time and were very comfortable and pleasant despite needing deep cleaning (we missed 2 years of cleanings from moving around and not being able to get appointments in prior cities) were painless. The numbing gel worked great for both of us. The downside is that we both need to go back for crowns. The massive upside is that we finally look forward to going back to the dentist. When does that happen? There are a few large apartment buildings in the neighborhood so hurry up and book your appointment before everyone finds out that Bling is not just a clever name. There was no incentive for this review. I feel this strongly about our care and would recommend them to anyone.

I cannot say enough good things about Bling Dental, specifically Dr. Katie Bell and the assistants I've been under the care of. I first met Dr. Katie when I was about to finish with braces and was interested for a long time in getting veneers placed for 4 upper teeth. It wasn't the easiest case, but Dr. Katie continuously worked with me to make sure I was happy with the results and I am! Not only that, but I find her to be so authentically warm, knowledgeable, and one who goes above and beyond because she cares. There was one incident when I was gonna be out of the country for awhile and Dr. Katie and an assistant woke up early to see me in office/fit me in. Truly, it's been a great experience working with Bling Dental. I find Bling Dental to be a refreshingly ethical and caring company that has your best interest at heart. I often get compliments about my smile and feel more confident with it than ever, so thank you Dr. Katie and Bling Dental.
