Comprehensive Dental Services for Aloha Families
East Wind Dental Care provides a full range of dental services under one roof. Dr. Merat Ostovar has been practicing dentistry for over 15 years and is a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD), a distinction earned by only 7% of general dentists nationwide. This advanced training allows us to handle complex cases that might otherwise require multiple specialists.
Family Dentistry and Preventive Care
We see patients of all ages, from children getting their first dental exam to seniors managing complex restorative needs. Our family dentistry approach means everyone in your household can receive care at the same location. Preventive services include comprehensive exams, professional cleanings, digital X-rays, oral cancer screenings, and fluoride treatments.
Regular preventive care is the foundation of good oral health. We take time during each exam to explain what we’re seeing and answer your questions. Many Aloha families appreciate our bilingual capabilities—our team speaks English, Spanish, and Farsi, ensuring clear communication regardless of your preferred language.
Same-Day Crowns with CEREC Technology
One of the advantages of choosing East Wind Dental Care is our investment in advanced technology. We offer same-day crowns using CEREC, a digital system that designs, mills, and places a permanent crown in a single visit. This means no temporary crown, no second appointment, and no additional time off work.
For busy Aloha residents commuting to Portland or working at nearby tech companies, the ability to complete crown treatment in one appointment is a significant convenience. The digital precision also means better fit and long-lasting results.
Dental Implants and Restorative Care
If you’re missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer the most durable and natural-looking replacement option. Dr. Ostovar places and restores implants in-house, eliminating the need for referrals to specialists in many cases. This streamlines your care and often reduces overall treatment time.
We also provide traditional restorative options including bridges, dentures, and implant-supported dentures for patients who need full-arch tooth replacement.
Cosmetic Dentistry and Invisalign
A confident smile can make a real difference in your personal and professional life. Our cosmetic dentistry services include professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
For adults and teens interested in straightening their teeth without traditional braces, we offer Invisalign clear aligner treatment. Dr. Ostovar will create a customized treatment plan that gradually shifts your teeth into proper alignment using a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners.
Emergency Dental Care When You Need It Most
Dental emergencies don’t wait for convenient times. We provide emergency dentist services for Aloha residents experiencing severe tooth pain, broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, or dental infections. Call our office at (503) 614-0198 as soon as possible if you’re experiencing a dental emergency. We make every effort to see emergency patients the same day.
Affordable Care: VIP Membership and Insurance
We believe cost should never prevent you from receiving quality dental care. For patients without dental insurance, our VIP Membership Plan offers an affordable alternative. For just $299 per year for adults (or $199 for children), members receive two comprehensive exams, two professional cleanings, necessary X-rays, and 15% off all other dental treatment. Learn more about our membership plan.
We also accept most major dental insurance plans and will file claims on your behalf. Our team can verify your benefits before treatment and explain your out-of-pocket costs upfront. Visit our insurance and financing page for more details.
