Comprehensive Dental Services for Bethany Families

At East Wind Dental Care, we’ve built our reputation on providing complete coordinated dental care – offering all services your family needs under one roof with consistent quality, integrated treatment planning, and personal attention.

Family and Preventive Dentistry

Excellent lifelong oral health begins with consistent high-quality preventive care, and our family dentistry services protect smiles at every age. We provide comprehensive dental examinations thoroughly assessing your teeth, gums, bite alignment, jaw joints, and complete oral health status, professional dental cleanings performed by experienced gentle hygienists who meticulously remove harmful plaque and tartar buildup, digital X-rays providing detailed diagnostic images with 90% less radiation exposure than traditional films, thorough oral cancer screenings detecting abnormalities in earliest most treatable stages, fluoride treatments strengthening tooth enamel and providing enhanced cavity protection, and protective dental sealants for children and adults with deep grooves in back teeth vulnerable to decay.

Dr. Ostovar firmly believes patient education forms the foundation of lasting oral health. During visits, our knowledgeable team provides personalized instruction on proper brushing and flossing techniques tailored to your specific needs, dietary recommendations supporting both oral and overall health, and customized prevention strategies addressing your individual risk factors. We treat patients from early childhood through senior years, making us ideal for Bethany families seeking one trusted dental home for everyone. Our gentle patient-centered approach helps children develop positive associations with dental care establishing healthy lifelong habits.

Advanced Cosmetic Dentistry

Your smile profoundly impacts your confidence, professional opportunities, social interactions, and quality of life. Our comprehensive cosmetic dentistry services can transform your smile and enhance how you feel about yourself. We offer professional teeth whitening using the most advanced effective systems available, safely brightening your smile by multiple shades. Whether you choose in-office whitening for immediate dramatic results perfect for Bethany professionals preparing for interviews, presentations, or special events, or custom take-home trays for gradual whitening on your schedule, you’ll experience the confidence boost of a brighter more youthful attractive smile.

For comprehensive smile transformations addressing multiple concerns simultaneously, we provide custom porcelain veneers that can correct chips, cracks, gaps, permanent discoloration, irregular shapes, and even minor misalignment. These ultra-thin shells of premium dental ceramic are precisely crafted and expertly bonded to front tooth surfaces, creating a flawless natural appearance beautifully enhancing your unique features. We also offer composite bonding for quick correction of minor chips and imperfections, artistic gum recontouring improving tooth proportions and smile symmetry, and complete smile design consultations where Dr. Ostovar collaborates with you to design and achieve your ideal smile. Our cosmetic work is recognized throughout Bethany for delivering beautiful natural-looking results that enhance rather than artificially change your appearance.

Restorative Dental Solutions

When dental damage, decay, or tooth loss occurs, prompt effective treatment prevents further complications and restores your smile to complete health, full function, and beautiful aesthetics. We provide tooth-colored composite fillings effectively repairing cavities while preserving natural appearance, dental crowns restoring severely damaged or weakened teeth to full strength, dental bridges replacing missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth, and complete or partial dentures for extensive tooth loss.

One of our most transformative treatments is dental implants, providing the most permanent natural and functional solution for missing teeth. Dental implants are precision titanium posts carefully placed in your jawbone where they biologically integrate with bone tissue through osseointegration, creating stable artificial tooth roots. Once healed, these implants support custom crowns, bridges, or dentures that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Many Bethany patients choose dental implants because they preserve jawbone health preventing bone loss that occurs with missing teeth, don’t require altering adjacent healthy teeth as bridges do, provide superior chewing ability and stability compared to dentures, and can last a lifetime with proper care.

Our CEREC technology revolutionizes the crown experience by enabling complete treatment in a single appointment. Using digital impressions, computer-aided design, and in-office milling, we create custom crowns while you wait. No messy impressions, no temporary crowns, no second appointment – just one convenient visit receiving your permanent restoration. This is especially valued by busy Bethany professionals and parents struggling to fit multiple appointments into demanding schedules.

Invisalign Clear Aligner Orthodontics

Achieving a straight properly aligned smile no longer requires metal brackets and wires. Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet comfortable convenient orthodontic solution fitting seamlessly into modern life. These custom virtually invisible aligners use gentle controlled force to gradually shift teeth into ideal position through a planned series of aligners. Because they’re completely removable, you can eat whatever you like without dietary restrictions, brush and floss normally maintaining excellent hygiene, and remove them for meetings, presentations, photographs, or special occasions.

Invisalign is extremely popular among Bethany professionals and adults wanting to improve their smile without conspicuous appearance and lifestyle limitations of traditional braces. The clear aligners are so discreet most people won’t notice you’re undergoing treatment. Dr. Ostovar creates a sophisticated digital treatment plan showing precise projections of final results before treatment begins, and most cases complete within 12-18 months. We offer flexible payment plans making Invisalign accessible for Bethany families, and fewer required visits compared to traditional braces accommodates busy schedules.

Emergency Dental Care When You Need It

Dental emergencies cause significant pain, stress, and disruption, but East Wind Dental Care provides expert compassionate help when urgent problems arise. Our emergency dentist services offer same-day appointments for Bethany patients experiencing severe toothaches disrupting eating, sleeping, or daily activities, broken chipped or fractured teeth from accidents or injuries, knocked-out teeth where immediate treatment can save the tooth, lost fillings or crowns leaving vulnerable tooth structure exposed, dental abscesses and infections requiring prompt treatment, and soft tissue injuries affecting gums, lips, tongue, or cheeks.

When you contact our office with any emergency, we immediately prioritize your situation and work to accommodate you the same day, often within hours. Our experienced caring team provides immediate guidance on protective steps and pain management while you travel to our office. Dr. Ostovar performs comprehensive examination to accurately diagnose the problem and assess extent of damage, discusses treatment options clearly, and develops an effective plan to resolve the emergency, eliminate pain, and prevent complications. We strive to save natural teeth whenever possible and ensure you leave comfortable and confident in your treatment.

Specialized Advanced Procedures

For complex needs beyond routine care, we offer specialized treatments including advanced root canal therapy maximizing comfort and success rates, comprehensive periodontal treatment and maintenance for gum disease, wisdom teeth evaluation and extraction, TMJ/TMD therapy for jaw pain and headaches, custom sleep apnea appliances, and full mouth reconstruction for extensive treatment needs. Our broad capabilities reduce referrals to multiple specialists and ensure continuity of care with a team you trust.
