Our practice is just a short, convenient drive from anywhere in Aloha, with easy access via major roads including Highway 217, Farmington Road, and TV Highway. We understand the unique needs of Aloha families and have designed our services, scheduling, and patient care approach to exceed your expectations.

Complete Dental Services for Aloha Families

At East Wind Dental Care, we’ve built our practice around the concept of comprehensive care – providing all the dental services your family needs under one roof with consistent quality and coordinated treatment planning.

Preventive and Family Dentistry

Protecting your oral health starts with regular preventive care, and our family dentistry services are designed to keep smiles healthy at every age and stage of life. We provide thorough dental examinations that assess your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health, professional dental cleanings that remove harmful plaque and tartar buildup, digital X-rays that reveal problems not visible during visual examination, comprehensive oral cancer screenings, protective dental sealants for children and adults with deep grooves in their teeth, and customized fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel and prevent decay.

Dr. Ostovar believes strongly in patient education and prevention. During your visits, our team will provide personalized instruction on proper brushing and flossing techniques, dietary recommendations for better oral health, and strategies to address specific risk factors. We treat patients from early childhood through the senior years, making us an ideal choice for Aloha families who want one trusted dental practice for everyone. Our gentle approach helps children develop positive associations with dental care, setting the foundation for lifelong oral health.

Cosmetic Dentistry and Smile Makeovers

Your smile is a powerful asset that affects your confidence and how others perceive you. Our advanced cosmetic dentistry services can transform your smile and change your life. We offer professional teeth whitening using the latest systems that safely and effectively brighten your smile by several shades. Whether you choose in-office whitening for immediate dramatic results or take-home custom trays for gradual whitening on your schedule, you’ll love the confidence that comes with a brighter smile.

For more comprehensive transformations, we provide custom porcelain veneers that can correct multiple cosmetic concerns simultaneously including chips, cracks, gaps, stains, and misalignment. Veneers are thin shells of high-quality dental ceramic that are bonded to the front of your teeth, creating a flawless appearance. We also offer composite bonding for minor repairs and corrections, gum recontouring to improve tooth proportions, and complete smile design consultations where Dr. Ostovar works with you to create your ideal smile. Our cosmetic work is renowned for looking natural and beautiful, enhancing your features rather than creating an artificial appearance.

Restorative Dental Treatments

When dental problems occur, prompt and effective treatment prevents further damage and restores your smile to full health and function. We provide tooth-colored composite fillings that repair cavities while maintaining the natural appearance of your teeth, dental crowns to restore severely damaged or weakened teeth, dental bridges to replace missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth, and complete or partial dentures for extensive tooth loss.

One of our most popular restorative treatments is dental implants, which provide the most permanent and natural solution for missing teeth. Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed in your jawbone that serve as artificial tooth roots. Once integrated with your bone, they support custom crowns, bridges, or dentures that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Many Aloha patients choose implants because they preserve jawbone health, don’t require alteration of adjacent teeth, and can last a lifetime with proper care.

Our CEREC technology revolutionizes crown and inlay procedures by allowing us to complete your restoration in a single appointment. No temporary crowns, no multiple visits, no messy impressions – just one convenient appointment where you receive your permanent, custom restoration.

Invisalign Clear Aligner Orthodontics

Straightening your teeth doesn’t require metal brackets and wires anymore. Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet, comfortable, and convenient way to achieve a beautifully aligned smile. These custom-made, virtually invisible aligners gradually shift your teeth into proper position. Because they’re removable, you can eat whatever you like, brush and floss normally, and remove them for special occasions.

Invisalign is extremely popular among Aloha adults and teens who want to improve their smile without the appearance and lifestyle restrictions of traditional braces. Dr. Ostovar will create a digital treatment plan that shows you the projected results before you begin, and most cases are completed within 12-18 months. We offer flexible payment plans that make Invisalign affordable for Aloha families.

Emergency Dental Care When You Need It

Dental emergencies cause pain, stress, and anxiety, but East Wind Dental Care is here to help when urgent problems arise. Our emergency dentist services provide same-day appointments for Aloha patients experiencing severe toothaches that interfere with eating or sleeping, broken, chipped, or cracked teeth from accidents or injuries, knocked-out teeth where immediate care can make the difference between saving and losing the tooth, lost fillings or crowns that leave teeth vulnerable to further damage, dental abscesses and infections that can become serious if untreated, and soft tissue injuries to the gums, lips, or cheeks.

When you call our office with a dental emergency, we prioritize your call and work to see you the same day, often within just a few hours. Our team will provide guidance on immediate steps to take to protect the tooth and reduce pain while you’re on your way. Dr. Ostovar will perform a comprehensive examination, diagnose the problem, and develop a treatment plan to address the issue and prevent future complications. We’ll work to save your natural tooth whenever possible and ensure you leave our office comfortable and confident in your treatment.

Advanced Dental Procedures

For complex dental needs, our practice offers specialized treatments including root canal therapy using advanced techniques and technology for maximum comfort and success, periodontal treatment for gum disease including deep cleanings and maintenance programs, wisdom teeth evaluation and extraction, TMJ/TMD therapy for jaw pain, clicking, or limited movement, sleep apnea appliances, and full mouth reconstruction for patients needing extensive treatment. Our comprehensive capabilities reduce the need for referrals and allow continuity of care with a team you know and trust.

Why Aloha Patients Choose East Wind Dental Care

Aloha has several dental practices, yet many residents make East Wind Dental Care their dental home. Here’s why we’ve earned the trust and loyalty of so many Aloha families.

Dr. Ostovar’s Clinical Excellence

Dr. Merat Ostovar’s combination of advanced training, extensive experience, and genuine passion for dentistry sets him apart. He’s completed hundreds of hours of continuing education beyond dental school, staying current with the latest techniques and technologies. His expertise spans all areas of dentistry, from preventive care to complex implant procedures and full smile reconstructions.

What truly distinguishes Dr. Ostovar is his approach to patient care. He takes time to listen to your concerns, understand your goals, and develop treatment plans that align with your priorities and budget. Patients consistently praise his gentle technique, thorough explanations, and genuine concern for their wellbeing. He treats every patient like a member of his own family, and it shows in the long-term relationships he’s built with Aloha families.

State-of-the-Art Technology

Advanced dental technology isn’t just about having the latest gadgets – it’s about providing more accurate diagnoses, more precise treatments, better outcomes, and enhanced patient comfort. Our significant investment in cutting-edge equipment benefits every patient we serve.

Our CEREC system transforms the crown and restoration experience by allowing us to complete your treatment in a single visit. Using digital impressions, computer-aided design, and in-office milling, we create custom crowns, inlays, and onlays while you wait. Most patients receive their permanent restoration in 2-3 hours, eliminating the inconvenience of temporary crowns and return visits.

Digital radiography provides detailed diagnostic images with up to 90% less radiation exposure than traditional X-rays. Images appear instantly on chairside monitors, allowing Dr. Ostovar to review findings with you in real-time. The enhanced image quality helps identify problems in their earliest stages when treatment is most conservative.

For complex procedures like dental implant placement, our 3D cone beam imaging provides a complete, three-dimensional view of your jaw structure, including bone density, nerve locations, and sinus position. This advanced imaging enables precise treatment planning and optimal implant positioning for superior long-term results.

Comprehensive Patient Comfort

We understand that many people experience anxiety about dental visits, which is why we’ve made patient comfort a top priority. Our office environment is designed to be welcoming and relaxing from the moment you enter. Our friendly staff greets you warmly and ensures your visit proceeds smoothly.

For patients with dental anxiety, we offer multiple sedation options. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) provides mild relaxation while allowing you to remain fully aware and drive yourself home. For more significant anxiety or extensive procedures, oral conscious sedation creates a deeper state of relaxation. You’ll remain responsive but have little memory of the procedure and will need someone to drive you home.

Our treatment rooms feature comfort amenities including warm blankets, neck pillows, noise-canceling headphones, and entertainment options. We communicate clearly throughout procedures and encourage you to ask questions or request breaks whenever needed.

Transparent Pricing and Financial Options

We believe you should never encounter surprise costs or hidden fees. Our treatment coordinators provide detailed cost estimates before treatment begins, including breakdowns of insurance coverage and out-of-pocket expenses. We accept most PPO insurance plans and file claims on your behalf to maximize your benefits. For treatments not fully covered by insurance, we offer flexible financing through CareCredit and an in-house membership plan for patients without insurance.

Residents of the Reedville area will find our office extremely convenient, just a short 8-10 minute drive via Highway 217 north to Highway 26 west. The route is direct and traffic typically flows well, making us easily accessible from Reedville. Many Reedville families have made East Wind Dental Care their dental home specifically because of this convenient location combined with our comprehensive family services.

Cooper Mountain

For those living in the Cooper Mountain area, our office is approximately 12-15 minutes away via Scholls Ferry Road to Highway 217 to Highway 26. Despite being across city boundaries, many Cooper Mountain residents choose our practice because the drive is easy and we provide a level of care and technology that exceeds what they’ve found at closer offices. The investment of a few extra minutes of drive time pays dividends in quality care and outstanding results.

West Slope

West Slope residents can reach our office in about 10-12 minutes via Highway 217 north to Highway 26 west. The convenient freeway access makes the trip quick even during busier traffic times. Several of our long-term West Slope patients have told us they appreciate not having to navigate into more congested Beaverton areas for dental appointments.

Progress Ridge Area

Patients from the Progress Ridge area and surrounding neighborhoods find our location very accessible, typically just 12-15 minutes away. Many families from this area have chosen East Wind Dental Care because they can receive advanced treatments like dental implants and same-day CEREC crowns without traveling to downtown Portland or other distant specialists.

Aloha High School Area and Surrounding Neighborhoods

Families living near Aloha High School and in the surrounding residential neighborhoods can typically reach our office in 10-15 minutes via TV Highway to Cornelius Pass Road or via Farmington Road to Highway 26. Our flexible scheduling makes it easy for parents to bring children for appointments and for teens to maintain their oral health around school schedules.

The short drive from anywhere in Aloha to our Hillsboro office is consistently described by our patients as “easy” and “worth it” for the quality of care they receive. Our ample free parking is a bonus compared to offices in busier commercial areas where parking can be challenging.

Same-Day Emergency Dental Services for Aloha

When dental emergencies strike, you need prompt, skilled care to address pain and prevent complications. East Wind Dental Care provides same-day emergency dental services for Aloha residents experiencing urgent dental problems.

Dental emergencies can happen at any time – a child falls during sports and chips a tooth, you bite down on something hard and break a filling, or severe tooth pain develops suddenly. Whatever the cause, we’re here to help. Our emergency services address severe toothaches caused by decay, infection, or trauma, broken or fractured teeth that need immediate repair to prevent further damage, knocked-out teeth where rapid treatment can potentially save the tooth, lost fillings or crowns that expose vulnerable tooth structure, dental abscesses and infections that require immediate attention, and soft tissue injuries to the gums, tongue, lips, or cheeks.

When you contact our office with a dental emergency, we give you priority scheduling. We maintain appointment availability specifically for emergency cases, so we can typically see you the same day, often within just a few hours of your call. Our team will provide immediate guidance on steps to take while you’re on your way to protect the damaged tooth and manage pain.

Upon arrival, Dr. Ostovar will perform a thorough examination to diagnose the problem and assess the extent of damage. He’ll explain your treatment options, answer your questions, and develop a plan to address the emergency and restore your oral health. Our goal is always to save natural teeth whenever possible and ensure you leave our office out of pain and confident in your treatment plan.

We understand that dental emergencies are stressful and often frightening, especially when they involve children. Our team remains calm and compassionate while working efficiently to resolve the issue. We’ll also schedule any necessary follow-up appointments and provide detailed aftercare instructions to support healing.

For Aloha residents, knowing that expert emergency dental care is just a short drive away provides peace of mind. Don’t hesitate to call us at (503) 614-0198 if you experience a dental emergency – we’re here to help when you need us most.

Our skilled hygienist will provide a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup and polish your teeth to a brilliant shine.

Beyond the clinical procedures, your new patient visit is an opportunity for us to get to know you. We’ll review your medical and dental history, discuss any concerns you have about your oral health or the appearance of your smile, and answer all your questions. If we identify any issues that need attention, Dr. Ostovar will explain his findings clearly and develop a personalized treatment plan with your goals and budget in mind.

Advanced Technology for Superior Care and Comfort

Technology plays a crucial role in modern dentistry, enabling more accurate diagnoses, more precise treatments, better outcomes, and enhanced patient comfort. At East Wind Dental Care, we’ve invested significantly in advanced dental technology that benefits every patient we serve.

CEREC Same-Day Dental Restorations

Our CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) system has transformed the experience of receiving dental crowns, inlays, and onlays. Traditional crown procedures require messy impression materials, temporary crowns that can be uncomfortable and may come loose, and a second appointment weeks later for crown placement. With CEREC, we complete the entire process in a single visit.

The procedure begins with digital scanning using a small wand that captures precise 3D images of your prepared tooth and surrounding teeth. No messy impression materials needed. Dr. Ostovar then uses specialized software to design your custom restoration, ensuring perfect fit, proper bite alignment, and natural appearance. The design is sent wirelessly to our in-office milling unit, which carves your restoration from a solid block of high-quality dental ceramic in about an hour. The completed restoration is refined, polished, and permanently bonded to your tooth.

Most Aloha patients are amazed that they can arrive with a damaged or painful tooth and leave just 2-3 hours later with a completed, permanent restoration. The convenience of same-day treatment is especially valuable for busy professionals and parents who find it challenging to schedule multiple appointments.

Digital Radiography and 3D Imaging

Our digital X-ray system provides exceptionally detailed diagnostic images while exposing patients to up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays. The images appear instantly on computer monitors in our treatment rooms, eliminating processing delays and allowing Dr. Ostovar to review and explain findings with you immediately. The superior image quality helps identify potential problems in their earliest stages when treatment is most conservative and least expensive.

For complex procedures including dental implant placement, wisdom teeth extraction, and evaluation of TMJ disorders, our 3D cone beam imaging provides comprehensive visualization of your jaw structure, teeth, sinuses, and nerves. This advanced imaging technology enables Dr. Ostovar to plan procedures with exceptional precision, improving safety, predictability, and outcomes. The technology is particularly valuable for implant cases, allowing precise evaluation of bone quality and quantity and optimal positioning for both function and aesthetics.

Intraoral Cameras and Visual Communication

Understanding your dental health and recommended treatments is much easier when you can see what Dr. Ostovar sees. Our intraoral cameras capture detailed, magnified images of individual teeth and areas of concern. These images appear on chairside monitors, allowing Dr. Ostovar to show you exactly what he’s seeing and explain his recommendations clearly. This visual communication helps you make informed decisions about your dental care with complete understanding of the issues and treatment options.

Sedation Dentistry for Anxious Patients

Dental anxiety shouldn’t prevent you from receiving the care you need to maintain oral health. We offer multiple sedation options to ensure your comfort regardless of your anxiety level or the complexity of your treatment.

Nitrous oxide, commonly called laughing gas, provides mild to moderate relaxation and anxiety reduction while allowing you to remain fully conscious and aware. The effects wear off quickly after the gas is discontinued, allowing you to drive yourself home and return to normal activities immediately.

For patients with moderate to severe dental anxiety or those undergoing extensive procedures, oral conscious sedation creates a deeper state of relaxation. You’ll take prescribed medication before your appointment that makes you drowsy and deeply relaxed while still responsive to Dr. Ostovar’s instructions. Most patients have little to no memory of the procedure. You’ll need someone to drive you to and from your appointment and should plan to rest for the remainder of the day.

Dr. Ostovar will discuss your anxiety level, medical history, and planned treatment to recommend the sedation option that’s right for you.

Insurance, Financing, and Payment Flexibility

Quality dental care should be accessible regardless of insurance status or budget constraints. East Wind Dental Care works with Aloha patients to make necessary treatment affordable through comprehensive insurance support and flexible financing options.

Maximizing Your Dental Insurance Benefits

We accept most PPO dental insurance plans and are in-network providers for many major carriers serving the Aloha area. Our experienced billing specialists understand the complexities of dental insurance and work diligently to maximize your benefits. We’ll verify your coverage before your appointment, providing accurate estimates of what your insurance will cover and what your out-of-pocket costs will be.

We file all insurance claims electronically on your behalf, handling the paperwork and follow-up to ensure timely payment. If we’re considered out-of-network for your specific plan, we’ll still file claims and help you receive reimbursement according to your plan’s out-of-network benefits. Our goal is to remove the stress and confusion from dealing with dental insurance so you can focus on your oral health.

CareCredit Healthcare Financing

For treatments not fully covered by insurance or for patients without dental coverage, we offer financing through CareCredit, one of the nation’s most trusted healthcare credit cards. CareCredit provides flexible payment plans with various options, including promotional periods with reduced or no interest for qualified applicants.

This financing option allows you to proceed with recommended treatment immediately while spreading the cost over manageable monthly payments that fit your budget. Whether you need a single crown or extensive treatment including multiple implants, CareCredit makes it affordable. Our staff can help you apply right in our office, with approval decisions typically provided within minutes. The simple application process doesn’t affect your credit score unless you’re approved and choose to accept the credit line.

In-House Membership Plan for Uninsured Patients

For Aloha patients and families without dental insurance, our in-house membership plan provides an affordable way to maintain excellent oral health. Members pay an annual fee and receive comprehensive preventive care including regular exams, professional cleanings, and necessary X-rays, plus significant discounts on additional treatments like fillings, crowns, and cosmetic procedures.

The membership plan eliminates the hassle of insurance claims, waiting periods, annual maximums, and coverage limitations. You receive transparent, predictable costs and consistent, high-quality care. The plan is especially valuable for families, with discounted rates when multiple family members enroll.

Our financial coordinator is happy to meet with you to explain all payment options and help you choose the approach that best fits your financial situation. We believe financial concerns should never prevent you from receiving necessary dental care, and we’re committed to working with you to find solutions.

Patient Success Stories from Aloha

Tom and Rebecca H., Reedville

“We moved to Reedville three years ago and tried a couple of local dentists before finding East Wind Dental Care. What a difference! Dr. Ostovar is skilled, thorough, and genuinely cares about his patients. I needed extensive work including two implants and several crowns, and Dr. Ostovar walked me through every step, explaining my options and creating a treatment plan that worked with my budget. The implants look and feel completely natural – I forget they’re not my real teeth. My wife loves the teeth whitening she got here before our daughter’s wedding. The technology is impressive, especially the CEREC crowns done in one visit. The short drive from Reedville is nothing compared to the quality of care we receive.”

Maria G., Cooper Mountain

“I have terrible dental anxiety from childhood experiences, and it kept me from seeing a dentist for years. By the time I finally went to East Wind Dental Care, I had several problems that needed attention. Dr. Ostovar and his team were incredibly patient and understanding. They never made me feel judged, and they offered sedation options that made it possible for me to receive the care I needed. Over the past year, we’ve addressed all my dental issues, and I actually don’t dread appointments anymore. The staff is wonderful – they remember me and make me feel like family. I drive from Cooper Mountain and wouldn’t consider going anywhere else.”

The Patterson Family, West Slope

“Finding a dentist who can take care of our whole family – from our 5-year-old to my 70-year-old father who lives with us – was important to us. East Wind Dental Care has been perfect. Dr. Ostovar is amazing with our kids, making dental visits fun instead of scary. Our daughter actually asks when her next cleaning is! My father needed dentures, and Dr. Ostovar created ones that fit perfectly and look natural. My husband got Invisalign and is thrilled with how straight his teeth are now. We drive from West Slope and the convenience is fine – actually easier than some of the offices in busier Beaverton areas. The whole family is happy with our dental care.”

Kevin L., Aloha

“I broke a tooth badly on a Sunday evening and was in terrible pain. I called East Wind Dental Care first thing Monday morning, expecting to wait days for an appointment. They got me in within three hours! Dr. Ostovar diagnosed the problem, explained my options, and fixed it with a same-day CEREC crown. The pain relief was immediate and the crown looks perfect – you can’t tell it from my other teeth. I was so impressed with the emergency care and the technology that I made them my regular dentist. The staff is professional and friendly, the office is comfortable, and the quality of care is outstanding. I recommend them to everyone in Aloha looking for a great dentist.”

Frequently Asked Questions from Aloha Patients

How far is your office from Aloha?

Our Hillsboro location is very convenient for Aloha residents, typically just 10-15 minutes away depending on which part of Aloha you’re coming from. The drive is straightforward via Highway 217, TV Highway, or Farmington Road to Highway 26. Many patients tell us the short drive is easier than navigating to offices in busier commercial areas, and our ample free parking is a bonus.

Do you accept dental insurance from Aloha residents?

Yes, we accept most PPO dental insurance plans regardless of where you live. Insurance coverage doesn’t depend on your residential location. Our billing specialists will verify your specific plan’s benefits and coverage, file claims on your behalf, and work to maximize your benefits. We’re in-network with many major carriers and also work with patients who have out-of-network coverage.

Can you see me the same day for a dental emergency?

Absolutely. We prioritize dental emergencies and reserve appointment availability specifically for urgent cases. When you call with a dental emergency – severe pain, broken tooth, lost filling, etc. – we work to see you the same day, often within just a few hours. We treat emergency patients from throughout the Portland metro area including Aloha. Call (503) 614-0198 immediately if you have a dental emergency.

What is CEREC and how does it benefit me?

CEREC is advanced technology that allows us to design, create, and place custom dental crowns in a single appointment. Instead of messy impressions, temporary crowns, and a second visit weeks later, you receive your permanent crown in one visit, typically within 2-3 hours. The crowns are made from high-quality ceramic, look completely natural, and are very durable. This is especially convenient for busy Aloha residents who find it difficult to schedule multiple appointments.

Do you treat children and teenagers?

Yes, we provide comprehensive family dentistry for patients of all ages. Dr. Ostovar and our team have extensive experience with children and create positive dental experiences that build good oral health habits for life. We’re gentle, patient, and make dental visits fun for kids. Many Aloha families choose us because every family member can receive care in one trusted location.

Is Invisalign available for adults in Aloha?

Definitely. Invisalign is an excellent choice for adults who want to straighten their teeth discreetly. The clear aligners are virtually invisible, so most people won’t even know you’re wearing them. They’re also removable for eating and special occasions. Treatment typically takes 12-18 months, and we offer flexible payment plans. Dr. Ostovar will create a digital treatment plan showing you the projected results before you begin.

What sedation options do you offer?

We offer multiple sedation options to accommodate different anxiety levels and procedures. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) provides mild relaxation while allowing you to drive yourself home. Oral conscious sedation creates deeper relaxation for patients with significant anxiety or extensive procedures – you’ll need a driver for this option. Dr. Ostovar will discuss your anxiety level and recommend the best option for your needs.

How much does dental treatment cost?

Costs vary depending on the specific treatment needed. We provide detailed, written cost estimates before beginning any treatment, including what your insurance will cover if applicable and your out-of-pocket expense. We accept most insurance plans, offer CareCredit financing, and have an in-house membership plan for uninsured patients. Our goal is to make quality dental care affordable and accessible.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Please bring a photo ID, your dental insurance card if you have coverage, a list of any medications you’re taking, and information about any dental concerns or goals you have. If you’re transferring from another dentist, we can request your records, but it’s not required before your first visit. Arrive a few minutes early to complete any necessary paperwork.

How do I schedule an appointment?

Simply call our office at (503) 614-0198 and our friendly staff will schedule your appointment at a time that’s convenient for you. We offer flexible hours including early mornings, evenings, and select Saturdays. New patients can take advantage of our $99 special for a comprehensive exam, X-rays, and cleaning.
