Your North Plains Dentist — Comprehensive Care, 15 Minutes Away
North Plains sits at the edge of farmland and Forest Park, a small community where most everyone knows the names of the people they wave to on Main Street. East Wind Dental Care has served North Plains residents since 2006 from our office at 7546 NE Shaleen St in Hillsboro — about 15 minutes east via US-26 (Sunset Highway).
For families and individuals in North Plains, finding a dentist closer to home usually means a basic-services general practice. Anything beyond routine — implants, oral surgery, sedation, advanced cosmetic — typically means a referral to Portland or Beaverton specialists. At East Wind, our three-doctor team handles the full range in-house. One office, one continuous relationship, one set of records.
