Your Cornelius Dentist — Expert Care 12 Minutes Down the Road
Cornelius is a tight-knit community where neighbors still know each other by name, and that is exactly the kind of dental care you deserve — personal, thorough, and honest. East Wind Dental Care has been serving Cornelius families since 2006 from our office at 7546 NE Shaleen St in Hillsboro, just a quick 12–15 minute drive east along the US-26 corridor.
We know many Cornelius residents have been underserved on advanced dental care. The options in town are limited, and anything beyond a basic cleaning often means a referral to Portland — adding travel time, coordination headaches, and delays. At East Wind, our three-doctor team performs dental implants, oral surgery, CEREC same-day crowns, bone grafting, Invisalign, and sedation dentistry all under one roof. One office, one team, one relationship.
And because Cornelius is one of the most diverse communities in Washington County, our team provides care in English, Spanish, Persian (Farsi), and Bosnian. Your language should never be a barrier to understanding your diagnosis and options.

Getting Here from Cornelius
The drive from Cornelius to our Hillsboro office is straightforward — 12 to 15 minutes depending on traffic.
Route 1: Via US-26 East (Sunset Highway)
From downtown Cornelius, head east on Baseline Street / OR-8 (Tualatin Valley Highway) toward Hillsboro. Continue through the TV Highway corridor, then turn north on Cornelius Pass Road to NE Cornell Road, and east to NE Shaleen St. This is the most common route for patients commuting from the Cornelius town center.
Route 2: Via TV Highway (OR-8 East)
Take TV Highway (OR-8) east directly through Hillsboro. Turn north on NE Brookwood Parkway or NE 10th Avenue, then east on NE Cornell Road to NE Shaleen St. This route avoids the highway and stays on surface streets.
Route 3: From West Cornelius / Forest Grove Border
If you are coming from the west side of Cornelius near the Forest Grove border, take OR-8 East (TV Highway) through town and continue to Hillsboro. Total drive time is approximately 15–18 minutes.
Free parking directly in front of our building — no parking structures or meters.
Cornelius to Hillsboro: Landmarks Along the Way
The drive east from Cornelius takes you through Washington County’s technology corridor. Along NE Cornell Road, you will pass near Intel’s Ronler Acres campus — one of the largest semiconductor manufacturing facilities in the Pacific Northwest and a major employer in the region. Continuing east, the MAX Blue Line’s Orenco Station stop is approximately 3 miles north on NE Cornell Road, making our Hillsboro office accessible by TriMet for patients who prefer public transit. Nike World Headquarters is about 20 minutes south via OR-217 if you are traveling from the Beaverton direction. Our office at 7546 NE Shaleen St sits in Hillsboro’s 97124 zip code, surrounded by the Cornell Oaks business district, dining, and the Tualatin Valley Highway corridor — a familiar reference point for most Washington County residents.
Why Cornelius Families Choose East Wind
A Team That Handles Complex Cases In-House
Most general dental practices in the Cornelius and Hillsboro area refer out anything beyond basic restorative work — implants go to an oral surgeon, orthodontics goes to an orthodontist, and you end up managing three providers who do not talk to each other.
At East Wind, our team covers the full spectrum:
- Dr. Merat Ostovar, DMD, FAGD — 15+ years in implants, CEREC same-day crowns, Invisalign, cosmetic dentistry, and sedation. The FAGD credential (top 7% of dentists nationally) requires 500+ hours of advanced training.
- Dr. Jovan Gvozden, DMD — 30+ years of surgical expertise from Tufts University. Complex extractions, wisdom teeth, bone grafting, sinus lifts, and surgical implant placement.
