To ensure people receive the dental care they want and need, Dr. Tina Nguyen, DMD has opened a new type of dental clinic, The Gleamery, with a core mission of providing dental care that is more accessible, hospitable, and convenient than traditional dental care – where dental care meets self-care.

Let’s rewind. A few years ago, Dr. Tina was performing 12 root canal surgeries per day. She was exhausted. Her patients hadn’t received the preventative dental care they needed for years because they dreaded their visits to the dentist.

All of her patients mentioned a unique reason for avoiding the dentist: they were either afraid of dental procedures, had an unfortunate experience with another dentist that broke their trust, or found it too difficult to book an appointment. Preventative dental care was ridden with problems.

Dr. Tina knew that Portland needed a new, modern solution. That’s when The Gleamery was born.

The Gleamery is a modern dental boutique on a mission to create healthier, brighter, more confident smiles – where dental care meets self-care. The studio’s Cedar Hills Crossing location in Beaverton provides same-day, weekend and evening appointments for teeth cleaning and whitening services. The best part: clients that act now and purchase any cleaning or whitening treatment can get $99 off on all treatments using code PORTLAND on The Gleamery’s website (code not applicable to 30-minute cleanings & 30-minute whitenings).

The experts at The Gleamery understand that most people don’t love going to the dentist and often put it off because they dread it. Given 50 percent of millennials are living with gingivitis and 25 percent have untreated cavities, there is a clear need for more desirable dental care. That’s why The Gleamery is aiming to change the way people feel about dental care. Their space is judgement-free and welcoming, with a salon-style ambiance that features aromatherapy, hot towels, calming music, and tailored lighting for ultimate relaxation.

At The Gleamery, clients can say goodbye to messy, ineffective at-home whitening kits and expensive and painful dental office whitening procedures. Not sure where to start? Pair cleaning and whitening treatments for the best results. Here, clients can meaningfully address their smile-care, walking away with both healthier teeth and a brighter smile after just a single treatment. Or try their proprietary AirFlow cleaning. Unlike standard dental cleanings, the AirFlow process applies a plaque disclosing agent which highlights areas of plaque buildup to help address at-home brushing patterns, and then applies a gentle stream of air and water to clean and polish without the usual picking/scraping required in a typical dental cleaning. You can use code PORTLAND for $99 off either of these treatments at The Gleamery.

As Dr. Nguyen says, “At The Gleamery, we've replaced the uncomfortable aspects of traditional dental (drills, judgment, scheduling, cost) with convenience, affordability, hospitality, and fun! There's nothing to worry about when you're here.”

Not to mention, whiter teeth have numerous untold benefits. They’ve been linked to greater confidence, and those with white smiles are often perceived as more attractive, outgoing, and trustworthy. With more than 160 five-star ratings on Google and Yelp, one thing is for certain: real people are seeing real results with The Gleamery’s hassle-free, convenient methods. There is a hidden power in a brighter smile.   

“There is no discomfort or post-treatment sensitivity, and in 60- or 90-minute sessions clients can get up to 9 shades brighter for a fraction of the price the dentist would charge for a traditional in-office whitening,” Dr. Nguyen shared. “With this system, a gum barrier is also applied so that there’s extra protection during the whitening process. Come in for teeth cleaning and whitening whenever you'd like a smile refresh. I look forward to having you in our studio soon.”
