CEREC Same-Day Crowns

Our CEREC system represents a revolutionary advancement in restorative dentistry. This technology allows us to design, mill, and place custom dental crowns in a single visit. Using digital impressions instead of messy traditional molds, we create a 3D model of your tooth and design a crown that perfectly matches your bite and aesthetic. The crown is then crafted from high-quality ceramic right here in our office while you wait. You’ll leave with a permanent, beautiful crown in just one appointment – no temporary crown, no second visit required.

Sedation Dentistry Options

We understand that dental anxiety is real, and we offer multiple sedation options to ensure your comfort. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) provides mild relaxation while allowing you to drive yourself home after your appointment. For more complex procedures or patients with significant anxiety, we offer oral conscious sedation, which creates a deeper state of relaxation while you remain responsive. Dr. Ostovar will discuss which option is right for you based on your anxiety level and the treatment being performed.

Our experienced billing staff will verify your benefits before treatment, file claims on your behalf, and help you understand your coverage. We’ll provide accurate estimates of your out-of-pocket costs so you can make informed decisions about your dental care. For patients with insurance plans where we’re out-of-network, we still file claims and work to maximize your benefits.

Flexible Financing with CareCredit

For treatments not fully covered by insurance or for patients without dental coverage, we offer financing through CareCredit. This healthcare credit card provides flexible payment plans with low-interest or interest-free options for qualified applicants. CareCredit allows you to proceed with needed treatment now and spread the cost over manageable monthly payments. Our team can help you apply for CareCredit in our office, often receiving approval within minutes.

In-House Membership Plan

For patients without dental insurance, our in-house membership plan provides an affordable way to maintain your oral health. Members receive preventive care including exams, cleanings, and X-rays, plus significant discounts on additional treatments. Our membership plan eliminates the hassle of insurance claims while providing predictable, affordable dental care for you and your family.

Patient Testimonials

Sarah M., Orenco Station

“Dr. Ostovar and his team are absolutely wonderful. I’ve been seeing them for three years now and have never had a bad experience. I was terrified of dentists before finding East Wind Dental Care, but they’ve completely changed my perspective. Dr. Ostovar is gentle, patient, and really takes the time to explain everything. I recently got Invisalign here and couldn’t be happier with my results. The office is always clean, the staff is friendly, and they respect my time – I’ve never waited more than five minutes past my appointment time. I recommend them to everyone in Hillsboro looking for a great dentist.”

Michael T., Tanasbourne

“I had a dental emergency on a Friday afternoon – severe pain from what turned out to be an abscess. I called East Wind Dental Care even though I wasn’t a patient, and they got me in within two hours. Dr. Ostovar immediately knew what was wrong, explained my treatment options, and took care of the problem that same day. The pain relief was incredible. I’ve been a loyal patient ever since. The whole team genuinely cares about their patients, and the technology they use is impressive. The CEREC crown I got was done in one visit – no temporary crown, no second appointment. That alone makes them worth visiting.”

Jennifer L., Downtown Hillsboro

“As a mother of three, finding a dentist who can see my whole family and make it a positive experience is crucial. East Wind Dental Care has been amazing for our family. Dr. Ostovar is great with my kids – even my anxious 7-year-old actually looks forward to his cleanings now. The hygienists are patient and gentle, and they make oral health fun for children. My husband and I also receive excellent care here. I recently did their teeth whitening treatment before my sister’s wedding, and the results were stunning. The office location is perfect for us in Hillsboro, and their scheduling flexibility makes it easy to book appointments that work with our hectic schedule.”

Robert K., South Hillsboro

“I needed extensive dental work including several implants and crowns. Dr. Ostovar created a comprehensive treatment plan and walked me through every step. The work was spread over several months, but the results are life-changing. I can eat anything now, and my smile looks better than it has in 20 years. What impressed me most was the attention to detail and the use of modern technology. The 3D imaging for implant placement was fascinating, and everything was done with precision. The cost was fair, and they worked with my insurance company to maximize my benefits. I’m grateful I found such a skilled and caring dentist right here in Hillsboro.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect during my first visit to East Wind Dental Care?

Your first visit will include a comprehensive examination by Dr. Ostovar, a complete set of necessary digital X-rays, and a professional cleaning (if your oral health permits). We’ll review your medical and dental history, discuss any concerns or goals you have, and create a personalized treatment plan. The entire visit typically takes 60-90 minutes. Our team will verify your insurance benefits beforehand and provide cost estimates for any recommended treatment.

Do you accept my dental insurance?

We accept most PPO dental insurance plans and are in-network with many major providers. Our billing specialists will verify your specific benefits before your appointment and provide accurate estimates of your coverage. Even if we’re out-of-network with your plan, we’ll still file claims and work to maximize your benefits. We also offer financing options and an in-house membership plan for patients without insurance.

Do you offer emergency dental appointments in Hillsboro?

Yes, we prioritize dental emergencies and offer same-day appointments for urgent issues. If you’re experiencing severe tooth pain, have broken a tooth, lost a filling or crown, or have any other dental emergency, call our office at (503) 614-0198 immediately. We maintain appointment availability specifically for emergencies and will work to see you as quickly as possible, often within hours of your call.

How long does a CEREC crown take?

One of the major advantages of our CEREC technology is that we can complete your crown in a single visit, typically within 2-3 hours. The process includes preparing the tooth, taking digital impressions, designing your custom crown, milling it from high-quality ceramic, and permanently placing it. You’ll leave our office with a completed restoration – no temporary crown, no second visit required. This is especially convenient for our busy Hillsboro patients.

Is Invisalign treatment available for adults?

Absolutely. Invisalign is an excellent option for adults who want to straighten their teeth discreetly. Many of our adult patients choose Invisalign because the clear aligners are virtually invisible, removable for eating and special occasions, and more comfortable than traditional braces. Treatment time varies based on your specific needs but typically ranges from 12-18 months. Dr. Ostovar will evaluate your smile and create a customized treatment plan during your consultation.

What sedation options do you offer for anxious patients?

We understand dental anxiety and offer multiple sedation options to ensure your comfort. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) provides mild relaxation while allowing you to drive yourself home afterward. For more extensive procedures or patients with significant anxiety, we offer oral conscious sedation, which creates a deeper state of relaxation. Dr. Ostovar will discuss your anxiety level, medical history, and the planned procedure to recommend the best option for you.

How often should I visit the dentist for checkups?

Most patients should visit the dentist every six months for routine checkups and professional cleanings. These preventive visits allow us to detect problems early when they’re easiest and least expensive to treat. Some patients with gum disease, high cavity risk, or other oral health concerns may need more frequent visits. Dr. Ostovar will recommend a checkup schedule based on your individual oral health needs.

Do you treat children?

Yes, we provide comprehensive family dentistry and welcome patients of all ages. Dr. Ostovar and our team have extensive experience working with children and creating positive dental experiences. We make dental visits fun and educational for kids while providing the gentle, thorough care they need. Many Hillsboro families trust us for their complete family dental care, appreciating the convenience of one office for everyone.

What payment options are available?

We offer multiple payment options including cash, checks, credit cards, and debit cards. We accept most PPO insurance plans and file claims on your behalf. For treatments not fully covered by insurance, we offer financing through CareCredit with flexible payment plans. We also have an in-house membership plan for patients without insurance. Our team will work with you to find a payment solution that fits your budget.
