Dentist Near Rock Creek — 7 Minutes from PCC Rock Creek Campus
Rock Creek is one of northwest Hillsboro’s most desirable neighborhoods — quiet streets, THPRD parks, good schools, and proximity to PCC Rock Creek, Intel, and the Quatama MAX station. What the area does not have is a full-service dental practice that can handle everything from your child’s first cleaning to your parent’s dental implant surgery.
That is where East Wind Dental Care comes in. Our office at 7546 NE Shaleen St is just 7–10 minutes south of the Rock Creek neighborhood via Cornell Road. Three experienced doctors, 3D imaging, CEREC same-day crowns, in-house implant surgery, and sedation dentistry — all the services that would normally require multiple specialist referrals, available at one practice.

Why Rock Creek Residents Trust East Wind Dental Care
The Rock Creek corridor is home to families, PCC students, and Intel professionals — people with busy schedules who need dental care that fits their lives, not the other way around. Most nearby dental practices close by 5 PM, do not see emergencies the same day, and refer out anything beyond a filling or cleaning.
East Wind is different. Dr. Merat Ostovar has placed over 2,500 dental implants in 15+ years of practice — a volume that puts him in the top tier of implant-trained general dentists in Oregon. Dr. Jovan Gvozden spent three decades at Tufts University refining surgical techniques for extractions, bone grafting, and sinus lifts. When you need an implant or oral surgery, you are not handed a referral slip to a Portland specialist. You get a same-day consultation, 3D imaging, and a treatment plan — all under one roof.
“Rock Creek patients often work at Intel or PCC, or they are raising families with school-age kids. They do not have time to drive to Portland for a crown appointment next week and another appointment the week after that. That is why we invested in CEREC technology. Walk in with a broken tooth, walk out two hours later with a permanent porcelain crown. One visit. One copay. One morning off work instead of two.”
> — Dr. Merat Ostovar, DMD, FAGD
Many Rock Creek residents commute to the Quatama MAX station for work in downtown Portland or Beaverton. Our office is 7–10 minutes south via Cornell Road — closer than most dental offices in Beaverton and far more accessible than navigating to a specialist near OHSU or downtown. Free parking directly in front means no circling for street parking or paying for a parking garage.
The Rock Creek Trail runs through the neighborhood, and families here value outdoor access, green spaces, and health-conscious living. Dental health fits that same mindset. Our three-doctor team takes the time to explain why a treatment is needed, what the alternatives are, and what happens if you delay. We do not upsell. We educate.
We also know that PCC Rock Creek brings students from across the metro area — many without employer-sponsored dental insurance. Our VIP Membership Plan ($299/year for adults, $199/year for children) gives uninsured patients two cleanings, exams, X-rays, and 15% off all treatment. It is designed for students, gig workers, and anyone between jobs who still needs preventive care.
If you live near NW Springville Road, off NW Quatama near the MAX station, or anywhere in the Rock Creek neighborhood, you are 10 minutes or less from a dental team that can handle your entire family’s care — from your six-year-old’s first cleaning to your parent’s full-mouth reconstruction.
