Yes! East Wind Dental Care accepts most major PPO dental insurance plans, including Delta Dental, Cigna, Aetna, MetLife, Guardian, United Healthcare, and many others. We also accept the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) for eligible services.

Our knowledgeable front office team will verify your insurance benefits before your appointment and help you understand your coverage. We'll submit all claims on your behalf and work to maximize your benefits. For patients without insurance, we offer affordable payment plans and accept CareCredit financing.

We completely understand! Dental anxiety is incredibly common, affecting nearly 36% of Americans. At East Wind Dental Care, we specialize in anxiety-free dentistry and offer multiple sedation options to ensure your comfort.

Our sedation options include:

• Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A mild sedative you breathe through a mask. You'll feel relaxed but remain fully conscious. Effects wear off within minutes, so you can drive yourself home.

• Oral Sedation: A prescription medication taken before your appointment helps you feel deeply relaxed and may cause you to have little memory of the procedure.

We also provide warm blankets, noise-canceling headphones, TVs in every treatment room, and a gentle, patient approach. Dr. Ostovar and our team never rush—we take the time to explain everything and ensure you feel comfortable before proceeding.

Absolutely! We understand that dental emergencies don't wait, and neither should you. East Wind Dental Care reserves time in our daily schedule specifically for emergency patients.

The cost of dental implants varies depending on your specific needs, but at East Wind Dental Care, a single dental implant typically ranges from $3,000 to $5,000. This includes the implant post, abutment, and custom crown. More complex cases requiring bone grafting or multiple implants will have different pricing.

What affects dental implant cost:

• Number of implants needed
• Need for bone grafting or sinus lift
• Type of restoration (single crown, bridge, or full arch)
• Material choices (titanium vs. zirconia)

Many dental insurance plans now cover a portion of implant costs. We also offer CareCredit financing with 0% interest for qualified patients, making implants affordable with low monthly payments. Schedule a free implant consultation to get a personalized treatment plan and exact pricing.

Invisalign clear aligners are an excellent option for most teens and adults who want to straighten their teeth discreetly. They're ideal for treating mild to moderate crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, and crossbite issues.

Invisalign treatment at East Wind Dental Care:

• Treatment time: Most cases complete in 12-18 months, though some minor cases finish in as little as 6 months
• Wear time: Aligners should be worn 20-22 hours per day for optimal results
• Appointments: Check-ins every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress
• Cost: Typically $4,000-$7,000, often comparable to traditional braces

Dr. Ostovar is a certified Invisalign provider with extensive experience in clear aligner therapy. During your free consultation, we'll take digital scans of your teeth and show you a 3D preview of your projected results before you commit to treatment.

The American Dental Association recommends visiting your dentist for a checkup and professional cleaning every six months. This schedule allows us to catch potential problems early—when they're easier and less expensive to treat—and remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing can't eliminate.

What happens during a routine visit:

• Comprehensive oral exam checking teeth, gums, tongue, and oral tissues
• Digital X-rays (annually or as needed) to detect hidden decay and bone loss
• Professional cleaning to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains
• Oral cancer screening
• Personalized oral hygiene recommendations
• Discussion of any concerns or treatment needs

Some patients with gum disease, high cavity risk, or certain health conditions may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months). We'll create a personalized prevention plan based on your unique oral health needs.

Yes! We love treating kids at East Wind Dental Care and welcome children of all ages. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children visit the dentist by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting—whichever comes first.

Why early dental visits matter:

• Establishes a positive relationship with dental care early
• Allows us to monitor proper tooth development
• Catches early signs of decay or bite problems
• Provides parents with guidance on proper oral care and nutrition
• Prevents "nursing bottle decay" and other common childhood dental issues

Our team is specially trained to make dental visits fun and comfortable for children. We use kid-friendly language, go at their pace, and celebrate their bravery. Many families appreciate being able to schedule appointments for multiple family members on the same day for convenience.

We believe cost should never be a barrier to quality dental care. East Wind Dental Care offers multiple payment options to make treatment affordable for every budget:

Payment methods accepted:

• Cash and personal checks
• All major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover)
• HSA and FSA accounts
• CareCredit financing with 0% interest options for qualified applicants
• In-house payment plans for larger treatments

No insurance? No problem!

We offer competitive self-pay rates and can discuss affordable treatment options during your consultation. Many preventive services, like cleanings and exams, are very reasonably priced when paying out-of-pocket. We'll always provide a complete treatment plan with costs upfront—no surprises.

Professional teeth whitening at East Wind Dental Care delivers dramatically better results than over-the-counter products. While drugstore whitening strips and toothpastes may lighten teeth 1-2 shades over several weeks, professional whitening can brighten your smile 6-10 shades in a single visit.

Our whitening options:

• In-Office Whitening: Results in about one hour using professional-strength gel and special light activation. Perfect for special events or when you want immediate results.
• Take-Home Custom Trays: We create custom-fitted whitening trays and provide professional-grade gel for you to use at home. Results in 1-2 weeks with daily use.

Why professional whitening is superior:

• Stronger, more effective whitening agents
• Custom trays ensure even coverage and prevent gum irritation
• Supervised treatment minimizes sensitivity
• Longer-lasting results
• Safe for your enamel when properly applied
