Portland Cosmetic Dentist
Dr. Katie Ball, DMD
Bling’s Fearless Leader
From the moment you meet her, it’s clear that Dr. Katie Ball truly loves what she does. With more than 15 years of experience and a deep commitment to patient-centered care, Dr. Katie brings a blend of clinical expertise, advanced training, and genuine compassion to every visit. As the owner of Bling Dental, she’s created a space where every visit feels more like catching up with a friend than sitting in a dental chair. She believes every smile tells a story and her goal is to help each patient feel confident, comfortable, and proud of theirs.
A Pacific Northwest native, Dr. Katie earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) from Boston University’s Goldman School of Dental Medicine before returning home and joining Bling Dental as an associate dentist in 2010. Three years later as a 30-something single woman, she bought Bling Dental, and instantly started to implement her vision of a dental office that feels NOTHING like going to the dentist. Since then, she’s completed over 800 hours of continuing education in Invisalign, cosmetic dentistry, implant surgery, general dentistry and grafting, continually furthering her skills to offer the best care possible to our patients. She is an active member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the American Academy of Clear Aligner Therapy, and the Academy of General Dentistry, and she has trained with renowned institutes including Spear, Kois, Clinical Mastery, and Aesthetic Advantage.
Dr. Katie understands that a dental chair can bring up nerves, and she’s made it her mission to change that. Her philosophy centers on comfort, transparency, and empowerment. She takes time to listen, answer questions, and build personalized treatment plans that align with each patient’s goals. Whether she’s crafting a beautiful set of veneers or guiding a seamless Invisalign journey, Dr. Katie loves helping patients discover the confidence that comes with a healthy smile they truly love.
Her favorite cases? Cosmetic transformations, cosmetic repairs, and surgical procedures that make a meaningful impact on her patients’ lives. Dr. Katie loves her patients, and she truly loves watching the confidence that comes with a transformed smile.
Off the clock, you’ll find her soaking up family time with her husband Nick and their three kids (Millie, Sydney, and Cooper). True to her Virgo roots, Dr. Katie brings equal parts organization and creativity to the chaos, whether they’re exploring Portland’s parks, cheering on the Blazers, or diving into their next craft project.
