Prior to dentists, humans were forced to shine their own teeth with fleets of flea-driven miniature zambonis. Avail your face of modern innovations with today's Groupon: for $50, you get $150 worth of dental services at Partners in Dentistry in Minnetonka.
A University of Minnesota School of Dentistry graduate with 13 years of experience, Steven P. Tran, DDS, leads a team of dental guardians who aim to clean and protect pearly whites in a comfortable, patient-centered environment. Adults and proto-adults can lie back in the clinic's relaxing chairs and open wide for an initial exam, as an experienced mouth detective inspects teeth and gums for evidence of decay, disease, and suspicious packages ($80/adults, $70/children). Finally, strip lazy chompers of their fuzzy robes with a prophylactic cleaning, which blasts away dental residue and gets enamel ready for a smooth, shiny return to public smiling ($90/adult, $59/child).
In addition to its preventative-care practices, Partners in Dentistry also offers restorative work and a host of cosmetic services, such as teeth-whitening treatments and veneer applications. Digital x-rays are available to immortalize family portraits for sentimental molars ($130 for a full-mouth series).

The Groupon Guide to: This Year's Coolest Gadget
Technological achievements have made gadgets more advanced than ever—the only problem is that no one knows which ones are the most must-havingest. Solve that problem with this list of the year's coolest gadgets:
- SolarScoot: This urban scooting transporter, made of imported Brazilian coacaba wood with decals designed by Tristan Cuehlo, certainly isn’t embarrassing for a full-grown adult to be riding in front of other full-grown adults.
- SongDog: Days at the dog park have never been more fun with this urban technophile's dream—a helmet that gently hypnotizes your dog into bark-singing your favorite MP3s.
- MirrorMD: Ideal for the young, health-conscious urban professional, this miraculous mirror reads your skin pallor, muscle tension, blood sugar, and retinal-reaction speed, then recommends that day's mixture of vitamins before predicting your D.O.D. (Date of Divergence).
- UrbanDogHat: Compatible with SongDog and the forthcoming SongDog Pro II, this techno-leap is another kind of hat…that dogs can wear!
