Nitrous from $95 See comfort menuThe Comfort Menu
If the dentist frightens you, you are our favourite kind of patient.
Roughly one in three of our patients came to us after years of avoiding dental care entirely. Everything below is free, on request, and never something you have to justify.
Noise-cancelling headphonesYour own playlist or one of ours. The drill sound is most of the fear, and it disappears.
Weighted & warm blanketsDeep-pressure weighting measurably lowers heart rate. It is the simplest thing in this room and the most effective.
Nitrous oxideTakes effect in minutes, wears off in minutes, and you drive yourself home. The gentlest option we offer.
Oral & IV sedationFor longer procedures or severe phobia, with a dedicated monitoring nurse. Most patients recall nothing at all.
The stop signalRaise your hand and everything stops immediately — no finishing the step first. You are in control of the pace.
Tell-show-doEvery instrument explained and shown before it goes near you. No surprises is the entire method.
Longer appointment blocksAnxious patients are booked with extra time built in, so nobody is ever rushing you through a difficult moment.
Meet-first visitsCome in, sit in the chair, talk to the dentist, leave. No treatment, no charge. Many patients start exactly here.
No lectures, everNobody here will shame you about the gap since your last visit. We start from where you are today.
Technology
Better tools mean shorter, gentler appointments.
Every piece of equipment here was chosen because it removes something unpleasant — the impression tray, the second visit, the guesswork.
Intraoral Scanner
A small wand replaces the gagging putty impression entirely. Two minutes, no tray, no retching.
Zero impressions
3D CBCT Imaging
Cone-beam scanning for implant planning and root assessment, at a fraction of medical CT radiation dose.
90% less radiation
Soft-Tissue Laser
Gum contouring and periodontal therapy with less bleeding, less anaesthetic, and markedly faster healing.
Faster healing
Same-Day Crowns
In-house milling means a crown designed, cut, and fitted in one visit — no temporary, no second appointment.
One visit
The Lumina Difference
Dental care that feels less like a clinic, more like a retreat.
We rebuilt the dental visit from the ground up around one question: what actually makes people avoid this? Then we removed those things, one at a time.
Anxiety-free environment
Headphones, weighted blankets, a stop signal you control, and sedation from nitrous through to IV. Nothing on that list costs extra to ask for.
Advanced digital imaging
3D scanners and CBCT replace messy impressions and guesswork. Faster appointments, more precise restorations, far less radiation.
Transparent pricing
Written treatment plans with the exact cost, your insurance estimate, and the financing option — handed to you before you say yes.
Nothing sold to you
Our clinicians are salaried, not commissioned. There is no quota behind a recommendation here, which is why second opinions land in our chairs so often.
Your First Visit
What actually happens when you come in.
Knowing the sequence in advance removes most of the dread. Here is exactly how a first appointment runs.
1
Talk first
You sit in a normal chair, fully upright, and tell us the history. Nothing goes in your mouth in the first fifteen minutes.
2
Gentle exam & scan
A visual exam, digital X-rays, and a two-minute 3D scan. No impression trays at any point.
3
See your own images
Everything on the screen beside you, explained in plain language, with priorities separated from nice-to-haves.
4
Written plan & cost
A printed plan with exact pricing, your insurance estimate, and financing options. You take it home to decide.

Patient Stories
Trusted by Portland's families.
4.9 stars across 640+ reviews. These three explain the pattern behind them.
I had not seen a dentist in nine years because of pure terror. They let me come in just to sit in the chair and talk, no treatment. Six months later I have finished everything I was avoiding. Nobody once made me feel ashamed about the gap.Nine years of avoidance, resolved
Dr. Chen showed me a digital simulation of the finished veneers before we started, so I knew exactly what I was buying. The result matched the preview almost precisely. I can finally smile in photographs.Full smile makeover
My son cracked a tooth on a Saturday morning. They had us in by eleven, fixed it, and the bill was exactly what the front desk quoted on the phone. That combination is genuinely rare.Same-day emergency, quoted price held

Common Questions
Helping you prepare for your visit.
We are in-network with most major PPO plans including Delta Dental, Cigna, Aetna, MetLife, Guardian, and Regence. Our team verifies your benefits before your appointment and files every claim on your behalf, so you know your expected out-of-pocket cost before you sit down rather than three weeks later.
Then you are in the right place — roughly a third of our patients arrive after years of avoidance. We offer noise-cancelling headphones, weighted blankets, a stop signal you control, longer appointment blocks, and sedation ranging from nitrous oxide through to IV with a dedicated monitoring nurse. You can also book a meet-first visit where nothing is treated at all. Just mention it when you book.
Yes — we hold slots open in the daily schedule specifically for them. If you have severe pain, a broken or knocked-out tooth, swelling, or a lost crown, call (503) 555-0124 and we will do everything possible to see you the same day. Same-day emergency exams are $99 and that is credited against any treatment you go ahead with.
Yes. We offer 0% interest plans through CareCredit and Sunbit on treatment over $500, with terms from six to twenty-four months. Application is a soft credit check that does not affect your score, and the decision comes back in about a minute — our front desk can run it while you are still holding the treatment plan and deciding.
Our in-house Lumina Membership is $32 a month and covers two cleanings and exams a year, all routine X-rays, one emergency exam, and gives you 20% off other treatment and 15% off cosmetic and orthodontic work. There is no deductible, no annual maximum, and no waiting period — it starts working the day you join, which is the main reason patients prefer it to a low-tier insurance policy.
Plan for about ninety minutes. That covers a proper conversation about your history, a comprehensive exam, digital X-rays, a two-minute 3D scan, a cleaning, and time to walk through your images and written treatment plan on screen with the dentist. We deliberately do not compress this — the first visit is where things get missed when it is rushed.
Yes — Dr. Jenkins sees children from their first tooth, usually around age one. Early visits are short, friendly, and mostly about making the room feel ordinary rather than doing anything clinical. Parents stay in the treatment room throughout, at every age, without exception.
Absolutely, and we see a lot of them. Bring the treatment plan and any X-rays from the other practice — we can usually reuse recent imaging rather than repeating it. Our clinicians are salaried rather than commissioned, so there is no financial incentive here to recommend more work than you need, which is precisely why those second opinions keep arriving.
